I was told this morning that at one time there was a set of plans that someone sold that were for making/replicating the body of a 1910 - '12 Commercial Roadster. Does anyone know whether this is factual??
TIA.
1910 Roadster body info needed.

Don't know of any site or individual that has full size or dimensioned plans for sale.
Ray Wells can do a '12 (late'11) body for under $3k.

I have an 11 commercial roadster in Battle Creek Michigan if you want to come and make a cardboard pattern. Mel Miller had 11-12 iron clad body plans at one time. Mark Eyre

Re: 1910 Roadster body info needed.
I certainly am no expert about these. But there is a considerable difference between 1910 and 1912 roadsters. I couldn't begin to name all the changes, but just having looked at dozens of photos of them, I can see numerous differences. The aforementioned steel clad 1912 bodies is just one thing. I have noticed changes in the back of the rear deck, the amount of overhang of the rear deck, differences in the seat riser/tool box on the back, and differences in the mother-in-law seat itself if so equipped.
I would suspect that some of the changes may have had carryover or crossover times. But regardless, I suspect one needs to decide upon a timeline, and determine which variation they want to build.
For whatever it is worth, I have some of a very old reproduction steel-clad 1912 MIL or commercial roadster body, along with many other parts that could make up most of a decent 1912 roadster. If I live long enough, and got at three or four other cars restored first? I do still have hopes of putting that project pile together.
If good wood plans do surface? I would maybe be interested in a copy also.
