Equipment
RHD. Single sidemount, monocle windshield, Solarclipse acetylene headlights, Gray & Davis kerosene sidelights, Hoffecker speedometer, Jones clock. Sound, usable, well used old restoration. Needs nothing except thorough mechanical service after years of museum display. First owner J. Herbert Carpenter (founder of the Auto Club of America) owned it for 30 years, then sold to Joe Tracy and from him to Thompson Products and the Western Reserve Historical Society and eventually Vijay Mallya. Regularly used over the years, restored and repaired as necessary. Electric starter installed and equipped with full weather equipment.
Market commentary
This is a particularly wonderful automobile, immensely powerful and lovingly preserved for years by a succession of owners who kept using and maintaining it. It needs absolutely nothing to be driven enthusiastically and displayed with pride in its continuous history. Its worth every penny of the price paid here and wouldnt have been unreasoble at the low estimate.
