Sent to Libertyville Iowa in 1910.

I almost put this in the steam car thread.

Herb Iffrig

What year was the big flood in the basin?

Herb Iffrig

I wish I could know more about the modified Torpedo Roadster.

Here is a different

Herb Iffrig

This one was found only recently. No explanation

was to be found with it.

The fairgrounds racers were going too fast for the shutter speed on the camera!

Herb Iffrig

Randal youtube says the video is no longer available.

Herb Iffrig

I don't recall that being in From Here To Obscurity. Look at the location of the rear door handle. It looks like it is up high. Would that make it a late 1909 or 10?

Herb Iffrig

This looks like an identifiable rear axle.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

There were cars built to do that for parades.

Herb Iffrig

I had this one posted on the This was Trucking thread on the OT forum.
Rich Eagle said it was a Republic. There are other photos of Republics on there too.

I am thinking that when Brice originally found the parts of the car, it was just the engine. It might have been in Sweden; I could be wrong. I think he might have bought the frame from someone like Lang's to start putting the car together, again I might be wrong.

Herb Iffrig

He often said playing music was a racket

Herb Iffrig

You guys are something else!

Herb Iffrig

What brand is this

one?

Thanks Mark. Neat stuff.

Speaking of libraries, I hope they were not burning books to keep warm. Was that log supposed to fit in the fireplace

?

Water doesn't run up hill, but it looks like that car is.

Herb Iffrig

A very rave photo of the boys not in the backroom at Ernie's.

It is hard to imagine these guys in their younger years.
Was this dogs name Jack?

Herb Iffrig

Is that a Hudson?

Did anyone around Chugwater have a cat for a pet? I think this one belonged to someone in town, but the records for pet licenses were lost in the big explosion discussed on October 09 of last year. It doesn't look like the cat in the later photograph later in that discussion. I wish they would have ...

This one should be easy.

Herb Iffrig

I thought I had the contact info, but I get no response.

Herb Iffrig

There was a torpedo roadster and an open runabout. The blue one is a roadster with a mother-in-law seat.

Herb Iffrig

Yes, it zig zaged like the red one.
Since you took it out can you move it over, or take out the post?

Just like bacon, huh Rich?

Herb Iffrig

Thank you both for that link. My son and his fiancé have given me a thing for Christmas called Storyworth. It is an assignment for me each week to tell about something I know from my experiences. This truck was my maternal grandfathers and the first week is to tell what my mother was like. This truc...

Herb Iffrig

I have been trying to find a thread from a few years ago that I wrote about my grandpa's 1932 International truck. I have tried every trick to come up with it to no avail.
I want to show it to my son's fiancé and so far, have failed.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Herb

Herb Iffrig

I thought it might have been that car.
Dan gave me a ride in that car at the centennial in Richmond. Fun times. The problem is, it's too long until the next one at 200.

Herb Iffrig

Thanks Dan, that one eluded me.

Do not forget the duel that happened at the Regatta. I think it was to see who got to play Santa during the Holiday., and of course need a pillow for the costume.

They really liked that wallpaper back then.
Is this the other side of the room?

Herb Iffrig

I was thinking about the wainscoting and how tall it was.

Herb Iffrig

There you are. This should answer some of your questions.

The roadster above has the Model T style rear springs.

Herb Iffrig

It looks like an 1909 Mother-in-law seat roadster.

One of the cars from the Tri-Burg Railway that floated in place after the big flood. What year was that?

I used to wonder if that was like the one Jack Benny always referred to.

Is this the one you are talking about?

Herb Iffrig

I will wait for Dick Lodge to comment.

Herb Iffrig

I think I know this one.

Herb Iffrig

I am guessing that the seventh photo from the bottom is an N Ford. Could I post that one on the EFR forum.

Thanks

Herb Iffrig

A photo would be helpful to identify what you have. It most probably is a Model TT Ford.

Herb Iffrig

Neat stuff Mack.

I found a picture of Ernie's house.
I always heard it was built upon the beer business.
