Hello ....

Some of you I may know - particularly if you own a Model T ...

I am on the road in the lower 48 states year round traveling the country - meeting folks - hauling mostly old iron

I just brought a nice 1920 Touring T cross country from California to Florida ...

It's either a 1928-29 Model A Ford roadster, or a modern replica called a Shay.

I just completed my longest single vehicle transport to the furthest Northwest point I have visited in the lower (48) states.

I drove 1000 miles from Florida to Pennsylvania to pick up from renowned steam car restorer- Alan Kelso.

This is his last steam car restoration & the third Stanley Steam Mountain Wagon he restored.

Then I drove 3400 miles to Portland, OR where new owner Grant met me at the Oregon DMV for a vehicle inspection so he could get a title.

Then I drove up to Anacortes, WA where I boarded a ferry to Orcas Island with my truck & trailer.

After getting off the ferry - I drove up to Orcas Airoprt where Grant has a hanger.

He got to sit in his new Stanley Mountain Wagon for the first time ....

To End Out 2018 ......

I got to lay my hands on the rarest vehicle I will ever transport ....

After (8) months of discussion - this historically significant Early Letter Ford started a remarkable journey ....

Hopefully - later this year - this 1904 Ford Model B will fire up it's engine and God Willing - drive again.

This - is Ford Model B Engine/Serial # 52 which is actually titled as Engine/Serial # 51.

It is documented as being the only unrestored largely original Ford Model B known to exist.
