Thanks for the heads up, Dave. An example, very similar , was offered for sale about 20 minutes from my home. It took them a couple years to sell, but they only rolled it out on the occasional weekend. It would be nice to know where it ended up, and I hope it ends up on the road again. This local one was very similar, even having those small wooden spindles by the front seat. You cannot see from this picture because of the side curtains. I may have more pictures for. The year before, I need to look. These are great to see in order to study original construction details. They were always built very lightweight, sturdy, and strong. This one even had tapered upright posts. Very delicate but strong ironwork. Painted from day one. If you are contemplating recreating a hack or huckster, it would be great to take the time to observe and study an original. As for the vehicle itself, it appeared with my quick looksee, very correct for the 1914 that it was being sold as. Correct motor, it did have a real early style battery horn. Aftermarket wheels that I would consider a bonus, but other than that, very nice. They were asking $17,000 , and pretty firm, so I expect they got pretty close to that.
