Does anyone know who owns the 1909 REO pictured above?

Once in a while we can sneak a Model T in here.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

I see that now too Robert.

Herb Iffrig

Anyone want to try to identify them?

Herb Iffrig

I put this on the ot forum, but then I remembered it has a Model T in it too.

It will fit the interest of most of us here.

The pit bull made me think of the story of the Winton thar crossed America. Horatio's Ride I think it was called.

Has anyone here heard about a trip to Coney Island|?

These guys are in Australia. They restore World War II tanks that have been used as targets over the years. They get them running again. This is one example of what they go through to make a part.

I bet you are right Pat.

Is it running an electric motor or is that an electric motor running it?

Number 4 appears to be a wedding day photo in a 1911 Torpedo roadster.

I spoke to Jim Finney about forty years ago. I remember him as a nice man.
I think I might still have a mimeogragh type of catalog he sent me with parts he had for sale.

Herb Iffrig

Will there be an EFR meeting at Hershey this year?
If so when and where?

Thank you.

Herb Iffrig

My grandson Leo came by with his mom Mandy today. She took this photo.

I thought it turned out well.

Herb Iffrig

Where was Monkeyville?

Herb Iffrig

I don't know what is going on here.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

From what I know it looks like the early style radiator. I think you are referring to the body. The early ones I know of were the tulip-style bodies.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

Very well done.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

Looks like fun. Keep the photos coming.

Herb Iffrig

Neat wheels.

Herb Iffrig

Did you like that one?

Herb Iffrig

Why would this carburetor have a drip oi

ler on it?

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

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.

Herb Iffrig

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

Herb Iffrig

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.

Herb Iffrig

Can't blame it on Sputnik.

Herb Iffrig

1909 or 1910 I would guess.

Herb Iffrig

Wouldn't you want to walk into that picture?

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

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

Herb Iffrig

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

Herb Iffrig

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.

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.

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.
