Dallas/Ft. Worth. 10/31. A very nice looking car. I'll leave it to the more knowledgeable guys to pick it apart.

If only the right side of the block could talk! Not much in the description esp. provenance and really short on pictures...... 
Is this the same car;

Another question: Are the photo's in the MECUM auction of the same car being auctioned. Parts are disappearing
Carbide tank & running board mismatch
----
Not the same Sothebys car. Mainly the TOP

Kim,
What do you know about this car? Is it an original number 22? I know you are the guru of two lever T’s.
Thanks,
Rod

I've heard a number of stories over the years, best to contact the owner, Aardeen Vaughn in Alvarado, TX. Vaughn specialty Auto.

Frank I see what you mean about the top, the irons are missing from the one car.

Story heard, if true, this horse carriage child hearse, sold, and # 22 motor was found mounted in the early T chassis the hearse was fitted.
Here is that # 22 at Chickasha , 2012, on a run-in stand, was fired up a few times. Pretty neat!

I spoke to Arrdeen and he confirmed that it was originally a Child’s Hearse.
He has owned it for several years.
Here are some pictures he texted to me. They are cleaning it up before the auction.

Is the touring body a reproduction? Does he still have the original hearse body it came with?
Very nice early engine!
How many two lever Fords still exist?
