      Pretty cool. When I look at something like that I think that that was once someone's pride and joy. Any clue on the engine? Looks to be (or have been) overhead valve so it's not early Ford.

      Reread the ad. I didn't know Chevy was overhead valve in 1918 - amazing!

        it looks legit too. right parts and right age range seems to me.

        too bad its SO rough. reminds me of the cars in Stark Wrecking's yard..... almost looks like it was stored in a salt water pond for 50 yrs....!

          "highly modifid" by Mother Nature.

          No price? sigh. I'd LOVE to have that if for no other reason than yard art. My BMW drivin latte drinking neighbors would choke up a bran muffin on that one.

          Ranger 2.3 Duratec and Five speed, drive it to work? /edit - not enough room for trans, nevermind.

          Dan, there were overhead cams by 1919 I think? why would OHV surprise you?

            Truly an amazing piece of history! Too bad it is so rough. Would love to see what it looked like in its 'glory days'
