My Coupelet headed for a new home.

Post by KimDobbins » Fri Jun 13, 2025 11:05 am

Time to let my original 1916 go to a new owner. It’s a great original with history back to the original owner. The top can’t be lowered and visibility it really challenging in a coupelet, where I live is just to busy. The decal in the window is well over 100 years old. Hate to see it go, but it’s going to a good home.

Here is a picture of the car, circa 1917. Look carefully and you’ll see the American flag in the windshield of the car, alongside the original owners.

What a beautiful car. Thanks to Kim Dobbins for being an excellent caretaker of this gem. If Kim Dobbins says it is going to a good home, it is going to a good home!

A beautiful car. My desire is to one day own a Coupelet. Was the original top to fragile to lower? a great feature of the Coupelet is lower the top for a Roadster feel on a nice day. Top up all other days. Best of both worlds for my wife and I!
