Rare to find a 35 Ford 5 window Coupe in this condition. The previous owner, now 88 years old, never drove or rode in the car the entire 55 years it was in her shed. She made one request to the current owner, she wanted to go for a ride in the car once it was drivable. Sept of 2019 her wish was granted! The current owner drove the car over to her home and took her for a long Sunday drive around town. She was so excited and happy to have finally got her ride. She said it made her day! Now it is time for this car to bring that same excitement and happiness to a new owner.

A proven, highly toured and shown car

From its beginnings in 1903, the Cadillac Motor Car Company has maintained its reputation as a builder of the highest-quality American cars. In the early days, Cadillac competed in many contests in an effort to prove its reliability and durability. Under the leadership of chief engineer Henry Leland, the company pioneered in the standardization of parts. Cadillac was the first manufacturer to standardize electric starting and lighting in 1912, revolutionizing the industry.

In 1912 Cadillac produced the five-passenger touring car, starting at $1,800, before options. This particular Cadillac includes the important first-year Dayton Electric Company (DELCO) electric starting system designed by Charles Kettering. This car features the system fully intact as originally designed and in exact working order. This is a correct, original, 4 owner car from new. It has never taken apart and more importantly, never restored. Sold new in Rochester New York on 12/6/1911 it remained in 1st family ownership until just after World War II. The 2nd owner, a well-known Minneapolis collector, Mr. Bill Lund owned the car until the mid 70s. He in turn, sold the car to another great Minneapolis collector Mr. David Harris. The current owner purchased the car from Mr. Harris in 2013.

The top was replaced in 1940 and the car might have had some paintwork done prior to the War, but most areas on the car still wear the original paint. The car has never been taken apart and all parts are correct and intact. Always properly maintained, it is a proven driver with over 25,000 touring miles on the odometer since the War. The original carpet remains in service in the rear, while the original upholstery remains on the backs of both front and rear seats. All parts and accessories are original and it has many spares. Some original features of note are a factory windshield, an exhaust whistle dated 1912, Klaxon horn and bullhorn. The factory lights work as well as all instruments. The factory build sheets showing all numbers and pertaining delivery facts goes with the sale

It is extremely rare to find a 107 year old car of this type anywhere. Anytime this car Is out on a drive or being shown, it is a crowd pleaser. Everyone regardless of age, loves this car!

112.0 cubic inch 4 cylinder engine
2 speed selective Sliding Transmission
20 horsepower factory rating
95% completed in restoration

Hupmobile started production in 1909 with the Model 20. It had a factory rated 20 horsepower, 4 cylinder, water-cooled engine with a 2 speed sliding gear transmission. It was light, nimble, sporty, fast for the day, and is a strong contender for being be considered among the very first sports cars. Built on an 86 inch wheelbase, it was available only with a roadster/runabout body. Production reached 5,340 in 1910. At a price of $750, it came in $150 less than the comparable Model T Ford. The last year for the Model 20 was 1913. Hupmobile produced a wide variety of models until 1941 when production finally ceased.

This particular car was undergoing a complete restoration, but due to health reasons, work stalled. All mechanicals are complete and there are extra components included, as well as manuals and technical information. Upholstery and paint is showing in very nice. There is a magneto currently fitted on the car, but another completely rebuilt, charged and correct magneto is included with the sale. Final fit, detailing and run in, will be needed to finish the car. That said, it will not take long for this machine to be road ready. This is a very sporting striking little car, a true head turner!

This is an example of a very original 6 cylinder Buick, with an older restoration. The past couple of years the engine was treated to a refresh which included pulling all valve cages, re-doing valves and guides. The gas tank and fuel system were fully cleaned. Car is running, but the radiator will need some attention. The top and upholstery are in serviceable condition. Paint is serviceable but aging. With a little tinkering, this car will be a great driver and has the power to be a contender on most tours.

Advertised as "The Car Ahead" with an automatic friction drive system

Built in Pontiac Michigan from 1907 to 1915, 1913 was the second year electric start was offered as an option. Most notably, Cartercar's are known for their unique friction-drive transmission allowing the driver to select any ratio rather than having fixed gear positions. Advertised as with such taglines as "The Car of a Thousand Speeds" and "It's Hard to Improve a Cartercar" helped put this little auto manufacturer to carve out a small but memorable spot in the evolution of the automobile.

It is believed under 50 Cartercar's exist, most remaining examples are known to be in poor condition. This example was fully restored a number of years ago, yet presents itself very well still today. The paint and bright work are in very good condition. The upholstery, top and appointments are all showing in very good condition. In the past few years the car was treated to a very detailed re-commissioning of its electrical, starting circuits and an in depth refreshing of the drive system. The car runs and drives amazingly well!

Very original car with 35,000 actual miles
346 cubic inch V8 engine
Factory rated 150bhp
Hydramatic Automatic Transmission
Runs and drives as smooth as it looks

Cadillac made great strides in styling for 1941. For the first time, headlights were fully integrated into the front fenders and a horizontal-theme grille stretched from side to side. The hood was made front opening for the first time, and the gas tank filler was hidden in the left rear taillight, a feature that became a Cadillac hallmark. This model year the Hydra-Matic, General Motors new fully automatic transmission, became available for the first time.

A very original car with just over 35,800 actual miles, this car is heavily optioned; featuring wide whitewalls, wheel trim rings, accessory bumper guards, fender skirts, a dashboard radio, and a fresh-air hot-water heater. It has the popular and desired Hydra-Matic transmission. Paint is believed original with perhaps a repaint to the top many years ago. The chrome and trim is also original and in extremely nice condition. The interior is believed original and is very nice. The only spot of note is a wear spot in the front driver side carpet. The dashboard wood grain is showing in very good condition, as are the other interior appointments.

Many things on the car were addressed in the past few years including: complete brake system overhaul, new front suspension and hydraulic shocks, new front springs, rebuilt radio, carburetor adjusted and addressed with all lights checked. The car includes much literature, manuals and extras.

The car drives out just great, in traffic its the best. Runs smooth, shifts right, brakes right and is simply a very nice car.

Series 62 Cadillac?s from 1940?1942 are very popular cars for vintage touring, particularly in Classic Car Club of America CARavans tours, where they are recognized as Full Classics. They are eligible for all club meets and CCCA judging. This car?s capacious luggage compartment and strong V8 engine make it ideal for long-distance tours.

A very special and perhaps a one-off design featuring some special options not shared by others, this 1922 Pierce Arrow carries a well known history. Custom designs by Leon Rubay of the Rubay Company include full disc wheels, Westinghouse air shock absorber system, dual rear mounted spares and make this a very unique and rare Pierce Arrow.

This car has been restored over the past years and it shows. Handling and braking as it should, this car is an outstanding performer on the open road. The interior and upholstery present well while the rear seating area has special built in cabinetry. Another unique interior feature is a crank up armrest dividing the rear seat. This interior configuration is sometimes referred to as 4+5 seating, since two people sit in front and two or three fit comfortably in the rear.

With a quality detailing this car will be ready for any CCCA tour or show.
Please take some time to read through article below from the Pierce Arrow Society written by the previous owner of the car:

1922 Series 33 Touring Car

An Owner and Driver's Report

by Tony Doughty

Reprinted from The Arrow Driver

Published by the Midwest Region of the Pierce-Arrow Society

This Series 33 4-Passenger Touring is pictured in Automobile Quarterly Vol.

VI, Number 3

Style:
"Ten years ago I bought my first Pierce, a 1930 Model C sedan, in the car corral at Hershey. Eager to learn all I could about the history of the company, I ordered all back issues of Automobile Quarterly with articles on Pierce-Arrows. On page 251 of the Winter Issue of 1968 (vol. VI, number 3), I saw a photo of what I thought was just about the best looking, most nicely proportioned car I'd ever seen. Styling was by the custom house of Rubay, and the lines were clean and uncluttered. In its sport touring form, with custom disk wheels, Westinghouse shocks, and double rear spares, it personified the racy look and energy of the Roaring 20's. I made a mental note that it was owned by Robert Lyons of Michigan. Later, when Bob Lyons sold it to John Gambs of Indiana, I filed that bit of info away as well. Last fall a 1924 7-passenger Series 33 was coming up in a Kruse auction in Indiana. I called Kruse to get further information, and they referred me to the car's previous owner, John Gambs. I was delighted to have an excuse to call, and when I reached him we wound up making a deal on the 4- passenger car instead.

Mechanics:
John was very open with me about the condition of the car when I purchased it. Due to long storage and inactivity, it had carburetor, gas, starter, and ignition issues that required a through going over before it would be road-worthy. Accordingly, I had a great opportunity to dig into the mechanics and get to know the operation of the vehicle. I removed both the head and the pan, and replaced all the ignition wiring. The dual-valve, dual ignition aspects of the engine are remarkable. Seven main bearings and twin cams smooth the operation of the 6-cylinder engine. John had installed new Ross aluminum racing pistons, which had not even been run in. The 4 valves per cylinder are a feature now highly touted by some modern manufacturers on their 2006 models! Pierce-Arrow's Chief Engineer, David Fergusson, had worked closely with Orville Wright on the design of aircraft engines in WWI. The dual ignition features of the Pierce-Arrows of the post war period are a direct result of that partnership. Just like an aircraft, the car has built in redundancy. You can run on the right bank, the left bank, or both banks of plugs and coils. In addition, the carburetor can be adjusted from the driver's position to run either rich or lean, depending on conditions. From a marketing standpoint, these expensive features caused PierceArrow significant pricing problems, with cars retailing from $5800 to $8500, huge sums for that time.

Driving Impressions:
The first time I ever got the car running I had only fixed the carburetor and the starter. It was still unmuffled, had old cracked wiring,
