1913 Ford Runabout
Has anyone any information on the car that Otis Clinton of Federal Way, Washington used to own? I would like to get in touch with the new owner.

Re: 1913 Ford Runabout
Not sure if this is the car
Here is a story about one, http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/41 ... 1418435365

We purchased our 1913 Model T about 7 years ago. It was purchased from the daughter of Otis Clinton who restored it in the mid 1950

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Dan purchased the '13 Touring - not the Runabout, Frank.

Re: 1913 Ford Runabout
As a teenager my family and Otis and Blossom drove to Sacramento in 1959 to the HCCA national tour. I got a lot of seat time with Otis in that 1913 roadster, and learned a lot about model t's from him.
He suggested if I was interested I could work in his shop on Saturdays to learn even more. So for 8 months I took the bus from north Seattle to West Seattle to learn all I could. Otis was an incredible teacher and he had lots of patience with me.
That 1913 roadster came from a small town north of Bellingham, Custer Wa. My good friend bought the car and had it for a couple of years then sold it to Otis. It was an original unrestored real barn fresh complete car. My friend got it running and drove it a bit before he sold it to Otis.

Re: 1913 Ford Runabout
I heard of Otis from the guy I bought my '13 touring from in Irving, Texas. His name was Hoot Gibson. Otis made fonts for Jno. Brown lamps, and I bought two or three, but I never got to meet him. While I was stationed in Bremerton, Washington, I was able to finally meet Otis, and we became good friends. When he drove his motor home to Southern California, they would park it in my back yard and spend a week here. We had such good times.
