If you weren't so far away.
It's a great deal

I have several brochures from Grandpa's Dealership. These are probably from the late teens. You can't believe the prices considering the wages back then .

I had a 24 , great but noisy. They had an air cooled engine . The body and may parts like the motor base and the trans case were aluminum.
Sadly I sold it back in the late 50s or early 60s

If it weren't so far away !!!

Beautiful little car Bob. I'm afraid all I can do is look and drool though.
I had a 30 roadster back in 50s.
Good luck. It's a really great price too

Great pix always enjoy looking at them

Welcome home Steve !!
Glad you're back.

I don't know where you get all the great old pictures but really enjoy seeing them. Thanks !

Used Bill Hagen years ago . He brought a TT from Colorado to
Missouri. Good job. Great guy
Would recommend him too

Still for sale ?

The old pix are just great. Really enjoyed looking at them.

Great pix thanks for sharing .

Great looking truck.
Wish I wasn't so far away

When your tank is too far gone. T tanks are available but what about others I had a 24 Franklin which also had the gauge in the top of the tank. Yeah ,you had to get out and go around to the back to see how much gas you had ! I went to a company that made boat gas tanks. They made up an exact duplic...

I had a 30 A Roadster as my only car for years when I was a kid. I never had side curtains for it. I remember getting out from work and opening the door reaching in and scooping the snow off the seat and hop in and go home. That A never let me down. Which is more than I could say for my first car , ...

My Dad had a 1914:Saxon. He was teaching his sister to drive. He cranked the Saxon up and his sister
In the driver's seat let her foot slip off
the clutch and she ran over my Dad.
Always let the woman crank the car !!

Finally sold the TT but too late I'm afraid.

Beautiful little truck Bob.
I'm sure it will sell fast.

Trying to sell my TT. If I can and you still have this great AA we will see

Great truck and a great price !
Wish I could.

Hi Bob,
I'm amazed the truck hasn't sold.looks like it's in great shape a 29 too and a very reasonable price.
Wish I could wrap up and take it home

No it wouldn't help much. I had hoped to restore the TT but seems age caught up with me all at once and just not able to do it. Need to sell it or trade it for something already running. It's a nice truck with a sound body and a Warford and a distributor if you know someone that may want it. I can s...

Love you truck. Would you be interested in a 27 TT Closed cab project as partial trade ?

I have one , work in progress, 27 closed cab

I found an old cotton work glove behind the ignition switch in my 27 TT. It appears that the old wires were shorting out
against the dash so the quick fix looked like it had lasted for years.

Great pixs Always enjoy them. Thanks

Has anyone checked out boat gas tanks ? I had a 24 Franklin that had a sieve for a gas tank. We took it to an outfit the made gas tanks for boats and not only made a duplicate tank but took the old gas gauge and put it in the tank in the same location. The Franklin had an external gauge on the tank....

Don't know where you get all these great old pix but thanks so much for sharing

Great pixs always enjoy them !

Great pictures ! always enjoy them
Gordon Clayton

Still anxiously awaiting mine !!!

Great old pix !!!!
Thanks for sharing

Thanks ! I learned something. I guess you're never too old.

Ohhhh memories ! I had a 28 Essex coupe, purchased in 1955 for $10. I had a number of people work on the vacuum tank and could never get it to work. It would work for a while and then put, put put. It would stop working. An old local mechanic finally put an electric fuel pump on it. I still loved th...

I was a teenager in the 50's. There was a number of T's being driven daily. My grandfather had a general store. One older man with a large gray mustache would stop with a T huckster. He had an orchard and sold apples around the area. Another man in the next town to the west had a 27 coupe with yello...

I totally agree with Charlie. Those things are dangerous.
There used to be a few around N.J. when I was a kid.
Some were a chassis with a belt running off the rear wheel.
Hit a knot and you were cutting more than wood !

Have a 27 TT Closed cab with just a few badly weathered sticks too.
Just wondering if they used chicken wire on the wood to support the
padding like so many other 20's cars I had . I don't have enough left
of my top to check.

Great looking truck !!! Mine is still in pieces
Gordon Clayton

As a teenager , we had an old Oliver 70 tricycle. The rear wheels were about five foot high.
My brother and I used to hand crank that monster. Good thing it never kicked back. I'm
sure it would have done some real damage.

Ahhh memories ! Grand Pop started a store in 02. He had the building moved via horse and wagon a mile or two away. He sold groceries, kerosene and feed. Later there was a post office inside too. When cars started to become numerous along the road, gas pumps were added. Soda was in an ice cooled, but...

Always read the forum. I'm learning a lot from you folks
with more experience and knowledge than I.
It's great that so many of you are willing to take
the time to help and share your knowledge.

I followed the work from start to finish.
Absolutely fantastic job !!!!
Wish I could do half as well.

Wow !!! the amount of stuff boggles the imagination
Great to know it's not going for scrap and lost forever

I'm a youngster and didn't come along until 1941, but great to hear your ramblings there in Vermont. We visited your fine state a number of times back when even looked at a place to buy in a small town whose name I have long forgotten. Here in S/W Missouri it has been wet too with a great deal of fl...

THANKS A BUNCH MATT !!!!!!!!

I had no idea what it looked like or how wide it was. I was thinking maybe it went all the way
over the entire seat.
really appreciate your help. Thanks again
Gordon Clayton Miller, Missouri

Truly amazing job !!!! I've have been following the progress for some time.
Only wish I can do half as good on mine

Me Too
G. Clayton Miller, Mo.

i could use a pix of the hinged board under the seat too.
All I have is the hinges and a sliver of wood .
Thanks, Gordon

Steve, Those roads they are describing sound like the one we live on here in Missouri !

Is that a wooden front axle on the car ? May be a Brush. My father ,born 1905, told me when he
was a kid of 6 or so he often used to wait by the dirt trace next to his father's store to get a ride in
a neighbor's Brush when he returned home from work.

I used to love there snow when i was a kid but now not so much. We hit low 60's yesterday here in S/W Missouri !!!!!! Years ago I had a 28 Essex coupe that I couldn't find tires for 4.50-5.50 x 20. I got 6.00 x 20 truck tires from my father's oil truck and they fit on the split rims. No getting stuc...

Amazing work Rich The detail is so life like.
Always enjoy your pictures
Gordon

Charlie
