Look at the elaborate foot rest frame.

Herb Iffrig

Most likely a 1916, just because the headlight and side light rims don't look to be brass rimmed.

Wonderful to see. Thank you.

An early one I think. Is the rear door handle low?
It is hard to tell.

Herb Iffrig

I guess not just for men.

Herb Iffrig

It harkens back to the sign above the door in this photo.

Herb Iffrig

Very well done. Thank you for making the video. And thank you for posting it here.

Herb Iffrig

It is funny they both have a NRS Ford peeking out of the door.

Can't blame it on Sputnik.

1909 or 1910 I would guess.

Herb Iffrig

Wouldn't you want to walk into that picture?

I cannot say what it is.
Can someone enlighten us?

Herb Iffrig

Look at the roof on the porch in the first picture. It seems to have a scaffold built over it. This could have been done for the lettering for the sign.

Thanks to Margaret Moore I have been able to access the drawings.

I used to enjoy the old members photos section. I can't find it since the changeover.

I looked at the weather channel a little while ago and saw a radar map of Minnesota. There appeared to be a bunch of tornadoes west of Minneapolis heading east. I think this is the area of the New London to New Brighton old car run. I don't like to see tornadoes any where, but I would like to know o...

Herb Iffrig

If the drawings are there, could you post a link to them?

Thank you

Is that the coupelet that was on ebay for a long time? Was the seller Bob by name?

Herb Iffrig

I am looking for replacing some bad wheels on a 1909 REO touring car. If you would know of any parts please advise. The hubs seem to be ok.
Thanks

It made me look to see what a Hollywood carb was.

Or what would it take to use Model T parts to make a chain drive car?

Thank you.

Herb Iffrig

Thanks Tom. I always appreciate seeing a Torpedo photo. Two of them today is a bonus.

Here are some more photos.

Pretty much barn fresh. It is all there.
The wheels need to be redone. Any one know what size tire it would use?

Herb Iffrig

Yes this is my car. A friend of a friend found it out of a barn near me, and I got it just the way you see it. It appears to be all there.

Herb Iffrig

Happy birthday Darel.

Herb Iffrig

It appears to be all there. It just needs a little glue and TLC.

Herb Iffrig

carbide generator.png I recently came across these remnants of a carbide generator. It is a side mount type of generator. Holy cow, what happened to it? Is it just showing the effects of age and brass cracking from the spinning process? I have seen other pieces of brass get this way, but not to the...

Herb Iffrig

It is all there, but the wheel rims are in need. It looks like they sat in the dirt.
It even had the canvas belly pan under the car and around the chain drive.

I can appreciate your situation. In 2022 we had 12.8 inches of rain over night here in St. Peters MO. USA, then a day later after the water went down a little it rained 3 inches more and the level went right back up. I wish well for you and your neighbors. Be careful and pay attention to you surroun...

Herb Iffrig

I also seem to remember them being NRS and early T cars.
If this was on a T would this have been a water pump car? It was after the 2 lever cars by just a little bit.

Jerry I look at that photo and wonder how that came to be. Taken at the right instant I guess. I just wonder what caused the cats to gyrate, surely it wasn't the a cordine music.

Herb Iffrig

It looks like a 1912 roadster made into a speedster.

I am not familiar with that updraft carburetor set up.
How does it run?

I have never been close to one of these.

I enjoyed watching his reactions. Much the same I would guess as someone from the Model T era would have.

Herb Iffrig

I am saddened to hear this news.
Geoff and I corresponded on the newsletter articles when I was vice-president. I always found him to be complimentary and enjoyed his work on the newsletter. I thought he was a wonderful person.

Herb Iffrig

Martyn the car is not restored. It is in original as found condition. It is too good to restore. I have seen this car in person. It is a time capsule. It shows as an aged car that has most of the features it had when it left the factory.

Herb Iffrig

Did anyone happen to save some of the "members " photos from the old EFR site?
I used to look at them quite a lot, to reference and research how other people had their cars set up. I wish I could still go there.

Herb Iffrig

It is great to see this available. Lets hope this stays around awhile.
I miss the old site.

Herb Iffrig

Is the cast iron version or the steel version?

Herb Iffrig

Well, if two cars have them it must mean something.

Herb Iffrig

Yes! I have been unable to get on the forum for several days.
Very happy to see it up and running.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

I would guess the fifth one down to be a Model K on the right of the picture?
The third one down might be a Torpedo roadster made into a speedster!

Herb Iffrig

Would an early two lever car have had that windshield on it?
I guess it could have been added.

That bone at the Cafe could conceivably be the chassis that was sold recently and is being restored. It was found in Europe.

Herb Iffrig

This looks like something I would do.

Were these some cousins of KD from Nebraska?

There is a lot to interpret here.

Thank you

Herb Iffrig

Then there is the Torpedo photo.

It has a trunk and gas tank you don't see on other Torpedos.
Would that be aftermarket?

Herb Iffrig

Look at those # tier sidelights on the touring car in the no. 9 photo.
I have seen some like that on some Model S cars. Were these common the early T's?
I assume those were E&J sidelights.

Herb Iffrig

I don;t think this is what you are talking about, but is a pencil drawing about a trial.

Herb Iffrig

The site was being redesigned and is being fixed.

Herb Iffrig

Steve I am glad to hear you are going to get back to having a Model T!

Herb Iffrig

The photo of the 1910 Torpedo is actually a 1911 model year car as I understand that the cars were called 1911's. I see it has a regular horn on it' not the horn with the curved down end. Those horns are known as "Torpedo" horns. This period photo shows that regular horns were also used on the 1911 ...

Herb Iffrig

Curious indeed.

Interesting. It has a Model T power unit to; I assume run the boom. I don't recall seeing that before.
Now, what is the base truck?

Herb Iffrig

That is ok.
It is still a good book if you have time to go through it.

Herb Iffrig

Yes, that is the one.
Did you enjoy it?
I think my copy is in the attic, lost but there somewhere.
Is there a photo in it of a magnet with a lot of nails stuck to it, that were collected off of the road?
