By John F. Regan on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 08:13 am:It has to be authentic since it says so right on it. I think that if you look close you will notice that the upholstery leather is not correct. 
By Steve Blancard, Fredericksburg Va on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 08:41 am:Maybe the water in the radiator was around in 1896...
By Bill Harper - Keene, NH on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 09:45 am:The description from the ad:
"I have a 1896 ford car . It starts right up and drives. It is in very good condition. Need gone asap."
If that vehicle was here I would also want it gone asap.
By Tom Miller, mostly in Dearborn on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 09:49 am:Too bad this wasn't for sale in time to register it for the Old Car Festival.
By Jerry VanOoteghem - SE Michigan on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 10:37 am:Well, at least the body can be used to help heat your home.
By Tom Miller, mostly in Dearborn on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 11:02 am:Since we're discussing fantasy cars, I think I would rather have this 1885 Delorean.
By George n LakeOzark,Missourah on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 11:37 am:Awesome restoration. Probably took decades tracking down the correct parts.
By Thomas Mullin on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 11:39 am:How come no pictures of the engine?
By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 12:05 pm:It has n original Briggs and Stratton motor from Northern Tool.
By Steve Humphrey on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 12:13 pm:Don't get to upset folks....I might try to sell that guy my ocean front property in Arizona.
By Dallas landers on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 12:21 pm:1896 should be 1986?
Ford should be Dorf?
Wondering if it has a water pump.
Looks like fun!
By Gary Schreiber- Santa Isabel Ecuador on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 12:44 pm:I'll side along the lines of Dallas. While it may or not be a genuine misrepresentation by the seller, it's clearly no Ford product. Rebodied, w/o fenders and running boards, it could make a pretty cool swap meet buggy/parts hauler
By Kenneth W DeLong on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 12:59 pm:With a fresh coat of paint to cover all the Oxen Schizen it might be ok?
By Leo van Stirum on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 03:42 pm:Its pretty obvious what its not, but what IS it...
At least the rear axle and 'diff' look intriguing.
By Hal Davis-SE Georgia on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 03:56 pm:Oxen schizen? Now, that's funny right there.
By Wayne Sheldon, Grass Valley, CA on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 04:10 pm:I do wonder what the seller thinks it is. I have looked at several '40s/'50s buggies and home-made horseless carriages that people believed were the real thing because uncle so-and-so said so.
The description doesn't really have the flavor of that sort of passion. Maybe someone figured it out?
Too many people today don't know a new commemorative by franklin mint from genuine historic treasure.
By Erik Barrett in Auburn Ca. on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 04:18 pm:I would want it gone asap too.
By John Mosher on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 04:23 pm:I didn't know they had cup holders in 1896. I learn more and more things every day!!
By gary hammond-Forest, Va on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 06:13 pm:I have an 1897 Olds Trap....One in the Smithsonian, one in the Olds Museum, and mine. Shucks I'd let it go for $25,000. And mine has 2 engines....
By gary hammond-Forest, Va on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 06:21 pm:The above posted in fun....
By Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 10:34 pm:Looks to have been built using one of the Popular Mechanics set of plans sold in the 1970's and earlier. Someplace I have a set for the Dulton(sp ?) that was kinda based on the curved dash Old's that had a diffy sorta like that one.
