Somebody colorize the last photo of the ‘09 runabout. I’ll bet its gray. And the torpedo photo 6th from the bottom - what kind of windup starter is that ?!?!

Looks cream white with gray tires

In the 11th picture what kind of self starter is that? Never saw anything like that before but I assume that is what it is since the crank has been removed.

Happy New Year! Thank you for posting the many pictures over the years. It is surprising, how many people like to sit on the hoods. Must not have been hot when that was done.

Interesting "cranks" on 11, 13, and 15.

Third photo appears to be a 1921 center-door sedan. Note the short time headlamp lenses.

#11 is probably a pneumatic starter, using compressed air, there were several types made.


#15 is the Sandbo starter.


#13 is of course the std. crank on pre-T , as the crank handle is captured upright.

“Please keep hands off brass.” The endless battle.

Good catch Stan. We work a week shining for a show and what is the first thing pedestrians feel compelled to touch ?!?!
