Nice job Carston and congratulations on the Pharoh's Choice Award.
I have followed this car build on the forum and I am so glad that the Pharoh's Car Club recognized Carston's hard work and awarded him with some cash for parts.

In picture #11 the truck with the ramp down, if you look in the side oval window you can see a face looking out and feet by the front left wheel. They must be standing in front of the truck in just the right spot to be seen through the windshield and oval window or there is a woman sitting in the tr...

When I Googled "Vintage Jaeger Altimeter" the only ones that showed up were for aircraft.
There was one listed for the time period of 1925 to 1950 but again it was for aircraft. They were asking $8,500.

Rich,

I believe that Coupe was known as the "Abe Lincoln Coupe" because he would have been able to drive it with his hat still on and it was named after him in his memory.

I have one very similar to that and it has old roller skates that came in it. I was told 1940's vintage.

Take some scrap wood from your project build and do test staining on them. It's best to see what the wood looks like when stained and varnished. Better to buy small cans of test stain than to stain the entire project and not like it.

They would often back the wind wagon into the kitchen at Ernie's and use it to slice bologna.

I have seen this picture before BUT it is the first time I have noticed 3 people in the photo. 1 standing at the back of the car, 1 standing near the front, and 1 bent over the motor perhaps adding oil.
Great history photo.

What I don't understand about the "bots" is they can revive postings that we are locked out of and can't comment on them, but they can, and these postings are years old!

I would guess that the platform did not run the entire length of the street because it would block cross intersections and perhaps it had a ramp on the end similar to the one in the photo below. The car then could easily run one wheel up on the platform and travel down the road with one wheel on th...

The "Catcher" on the front of the trolley was designed to catch people and children who ran in front of the trolley so they wouldn't get pulled under it.

I have that set up on my '22 Coupe, but I am missing the internal cable to the speedometer. I have all the drive gears, exterior cable and the speedometer, just not the internal cable.

I have that on my '22 Coupe transmission with the exterior cable cover to the speedometer and the cover over the transmission with the cable connection, but I am missing the internal cable to make the speedometer work.
