All original car show photos

[cycledog]

Wife wanted to enter her 48 in an "All original car show" put on by a local club. It turned out to be pretty cool. Put photos here because they are not hotrods or ratrods.

I had never see a Muntz in person before. This is a 52, kinda cool.

I'm interested - beautiful pics BTW. Your wife's '48 is nice too, although it does sit kinda high and it has way too much windshield.

What's the holdup on the rest of the pix? Very nice photography

 

[42chevy]

Very nice. I would like to see more. I like the '48 also.

Muntz manufactured televisions and hi-fi's. He must have liked cars too

Thanks for all your kind words guys.

The owner of this Durant says he's had this car for 47 years. 17,000 original miles on the speedo he tells me.

How about a Baker Electric?

This appears to be the speedo gear for the Baker Electric.

Thanks for the photos c-dog. It's interesting to look at the original cars. I often think of what a nightmare it must be to hunt down the correct parts in good enough shape to restore a vintage car to original condition. I'm glad people do it because it's a pleasure to see the history preserved. I'm pretty sure the Muntz Jet's used a lot of parts from other production cars as far as driveline and suspension, but I would imagine the trim parts are made of unobtanium.

Little bit of trivia,Henry Ford's wife drove an electric

Muntz Jet, actually began life with Frank Kurtis. Pretty interesting read about it here.

Fabulous stuff Cycledog. I'm always fascinated by the unusual stockers, especially the engines, like that Stutz, (or wait, is that a Deusy engine?) can't help thinking how they would perform with some modern carburation and a better intake. Of course that would ruffle some feathers I guess.......

Guess that would make sense Hank Ford and Tom Edison were good friends.

Yep that is a Stutz engine.
