Absolutely fascinating stuff! Congratulations and thank you for preserving not only your family's history, but for preserving history. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,
I'm looking for information on Rutenber engines from the 1909-1911 era. Our 1910 Auburn has one and I'm looking to compare. Even photos would be helpful. What other car manufacturers used Rutenber engines?

Absolutely! We were just waiting until all new directors were notified, as well as those that were not elected this time. The new directors are: George Dorris, Missouri Russell Holden, Australia Mike Reid, Canada Andy Wallace, New Jersey Rob Williams, Idaho Thank you to everyone who voted. We'll hav...

Yup, that's how it happened. Thanks, Gil, for the great report.
And that's our car in front of the chapel.

We have started as new HCCA group in the Midwest, called the Great Plains Brass Touring Register. It is an informal, family friendly, touring club for any pre-1916 vehicle. We will have just one meeting and several tours each year. We hope the tours will stretch from Texas to North Dakota and from C...

Alan- It was great to see the car in person in Texas, but for those that have not yet seen it, this is so well done. If only every early car owner knew their cars history and could explain the mechanical aspect of their car so clearly. What a wonderful car and a fantastic video! Thanks for posting i...

What a great looking car! I believe it is a 1912 Buick Model 43 and started life as a Touring car.
Thanks for sharing the photo.
Hopefully someone will post with what it looks like today.

Great photo. Maxwell truck, too. Does anyone know more about early Maxwell trucks like that?

The plan is to have a live auction Thursday evening, October 9. It will be held just a few miles from the flea market fields. We should have everything finalized next week and will publish the details then. The parts shown in the photos are not necessarily shown in the lots as they will be sold. Mos...

Nice car. Everyone is correct that if it is a 1904 (or earlier) it typically will command a premium above the 1905 and later cars. Are you sure this is a 1904? We are restoring a 1908 (built in late 1907) and it is very similar to this one. I believe ours is in the 2400 number range. I will double c...

Only a few more days...who's going to be there Sunday? Who's going to be touring all week?
See you there!

Like Gil said-having a great time. Here are a few photos of cars parked at Fairbank; including his ride for yesterday.

I had my '14 T out a couple days ago. It was a balmy 15 degrees.

If you are interested, here's a link to a race I participated in last October. It was cronicled by Car and Driver magazine.

I think it's a fun read. Enjoy!

I will be there. My father is bringing a car; I am not. I should have a ride for the first day at least. Probably day by day after that!
I can't wait!

Hi all, I am running for a position on the board of directors. The latest issue of the Gazette should be arriving shortly and I hope you take a minute to learn about all of the candidates and vote. I would be glad to tell you more about myself, my background, interests, early cars, etc. Feel free to...

I believe it is a 1909 Pope-Hartford, maybe 1910.
Great photo.

It looks like a 1915 Overland to me. Quite sure about it, actually.

I believe it is a 1904 Columbia Model XLII.
What a super early auto!
I hope this helps,
Chris
