Yes. There were kits available to convert them. Notice also, the unique rear trunk area. And my pet peeve, the upside-down steering wheel.KWTownsend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 18, 2025 10:33 amIs the second to last picture a Model R with full elliptical springs?

Re: Heading home.
It's an accessory "cranking" device that allows you start the car while seated. You pull a handle attached to a cable that winds around the "volute" style pulley that you see in front.
I guess if it backfires, the handle yanks you forward and throws you through the windshield.
