1912 Torpedo - looking for original cars to compare

Post by robert daniello » Sat Apr 09, 2022 6:34 pm

Recently, I had the opportunity to purchase a '12 Torpedo formerly owned by a family friend. It is a nice genuine torpedo, partially restored in the '50s. It was driven quite a bit as an antique up through the 70s or so. At points during its history it had various rear bodies installed, including a truck bed. The original fuel tank and toolbox are back on it now (and I still have the pickup bed), but at one time the car had another fuel tank under the seat to accommodate the changes. In the process of making room for the tank, the under seat wood structure was altered. I would like to determine how, and also to put it back to its original configuration. Are there any good "example" cars out there? I believe it may be a Beaudette body as it has a body number with a B prefix under the seat. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
