Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Amazingly origil and complete unit that should be left alone. Type 31 4 4 cylinder engine is disassembled but complete. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania unit. Works by manually raising a full tank of water to give it a gravity head. Amazing. Ted Jameson collection.

Market commentary

A surprisingly strong winning bid powered by the gravity of its origility, completeness and the ingenuity of its design and operation.
