Condition
Tired older repaint Front seat upholstery disintegrating, but the center facing rear seats are well preserved Tired engine bay Looks like it hasnt run in a long while Cracked windshield Complete, interesting car Close coupled 4 seat bodywork from Boston based coachbuilder Chauncey Thomas & Co was fitted by its original owner after removing it from another car Eventually wound up in the Rick Carroll collection until 1977, then made its way to the John Middleton collection Tall, impressively equipped, fascinating car that would benefit from light restoration to get it back on the road
Market commentary
This is a fascinating piece, literally a motor carriage, built by a respected but now obscure Boston coachbuilder. A gorgeous, erect, nickel era brougham that is even more prestigious today than it was at the end of the Great War. The front seats will have to be re covered but beyond that it should respond gratefully to mechanical attention and be a standout wherever it appears. At the price it is a great bargain, far more car than money.
