1911 Torpedo rebuild

Post by AndreFordT » Tue Jun 13, 2023 4:57 pm

Since a few weeks I am working on a 1911 Torpedo.
What should be a mothball job became a total rebuild.
During the disassemble we found this in one of the doors.

Maybe someone recognize one of the persons on the card or recognize the car.

Thanks

Cool note, watch makers do that in the back of old clocks.

If you're going to all the "trouble" for a total restore..paint it dark blue!

Super neat find in that cute red head! I agree with Tim, your turn to leave your mark in the door.
What struck me also is the roof over your back yard fence. Very cool. :)
