1940 American Bantam Model 64 Super Roadster Chassis no. 64259 Engine no. 64190747cc L-Head Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle Updraft Carburetor15bhp (rated)3-Speed TransmissionSolid Axles with Front Transverse Semi-Elliptic Spring and Twin Quarter Elliptic Springs Rear4-Wheel Mechanical Drum Brakes*Styled by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky*Fun pre-war sporting car modeled on British Austin Seven*Every collection should have one!THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDWhen the imported English Austin was restyled by Alex de Saknoffsky in 1935 to celebrate the launch of the new Bantam Corporation, it was cutting-edge American design. More than 20,000 of the American Austins were built under license to Austin of England, but even though the boxy style had been restyled in 1929 by de Saknoffsky, to look like a small Chevrolet, by 1935 it was looking dated.The market for very small cars was tough in the US anyway, because of the size of the country and only 6,200 of the stylish new roadsters, pickups and woody wagons found buyers between 1937 and 1941. But they were improved in significant ways.Nobody made much money on the redesign – de Saknoffsky was paid only $300, for example, but racing legend Harry Miller converted the 747cc, splash-lubrication engine to full-pressure lubrication and converted it to Babbitt-bearings. The result was much better durability and the price for the whole retooling was a bargain $7,000.By 1940 the Bantam was part of the American landscape, at least as a surburban commuter and local delivery truck. The appetite was waning though, with only 800 Bantams of all bodystyles sold in 1940, however those who did buy them received an improved model boasting 3-main bearing engines, bigger brakes, Monroe shocks and headlights in the fenders. The '40 Bantam here is an example of their Model 64 Super Roadster which is presented in a rarely chosen paint scheme of silver grey with red side panels, and offset by red wheels with whitewall tires. Acquired for the collection from California many years ago, the car is understood to have been run on occasions but not recently, and on inspection it was noted that the steering column mounting at the dash needs attention.An undeniably pretty, fun piece of Americana.

1911 Ford Model T Torpedo Roadster Engine no. 44637177ci Flathead Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 22hp at 1,600 rpm2-Speed Planetary Manual Transmission Transverse Leaf Springs and Solid Axles Front and Rear Rear-Wheel Drum Brakes*One of the longest owned cars in the collection *Sensitive and high quality older restoration *Former AACA National First Prize Winner*A benchmark example of the sporting Model TTHE FORD MODEL TWithout a doubt, the most famous antique car is the Ford Model T. Its significance cannot be argued, and neither can its charisma. One of the key components of Henry Ford's enormous success must be chocked up to style. Ford employed teams of stylists to ensure that his products looked as good and appealing as possible; nowhere is this more apparent than in these early 'brass' Ts.Ford was able to balance the line between handsome and cute with these cars. A T, although not a big car, has great dignity and presence. Anyone would be proud to own one. While the competition's low-priced cars looked cheap and small, the Ford did not.Ford also realized he was selling cars to a market of new drivers transitioning to the motorcar, which meant the car needed to be simple and intuitive. To operate the car, one only needed to use their feet, while their hands could stay on the steering wheel where they belonged. The simple planetary transmission was easy to operate and is still great fun to drive today.For those who haven't experienced a great 'Brass T,' they are about as much fun as you can have on four wheels. Ford really got it right with the early Ford Ts, and when properly set up, they perform remarkably well. In fact, most brass car tourers have a story about a pesky Model T driver keeping up with the likes of a Silver Ghost or Pierce-Arrow.The Torpedo could be seen as Ford's first performance car. It was a standard T stripped down with a little racer-type body. The hood was lengthened two inches, and the steering column was lowered. The result was a nimble and quick T with a look like no other. Any brass T is great fun for touring but the Torpedo is the ultimate.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDOne of the longest cars to have resided in the collection, this very handsome Torpedo roadster has most probably lived its entire life in the NorthEast. On file are photos of the car being discovered in the 1950s in tired, but clearly complete order which must have made for a straightforward restoration project back in the day. That rebuild was undertaken between the years of 1952 to 1953 as attested to by a plaque on the dash of the Ford, the work being completed by both the selling elder generation and its predecessor themselves. Confirming the authenticity and quality of the rebuild, it proudly displays the well-earned AACA National First Prize Award on its firewall. The Ford presents extremely well despite the age of its restoration, all being testament to the diligence and knowledge of its owners. Its rich Royal Blue coachwork is perfectly pinstriped in white and contrasted with black fenders. The upholstery remains in extremely tidy order, while now being bedded in and slightly patinated. The car is fully equipped with all the necessary and correct brass accoutrements, such as Ford 666 headlamps made by E&J, Ford tail lamps and side lamps, and the dash is nicely furnished with Stewart Speedometer and clock, as well as a KW Ignition coil switch. Museum displayed rather than used in recent years a good check over its recommended and it is felt that the dashboard mounted coils may need to be replaced – a simple fix as any 'T' collector would confirm. Offered from nearly 70 years of continuous family ownership, this early Model T is a real jewel.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1907 REO 16/20HP Twin Cylinder Touring Car Chassis no. 8745213 ci, Side Valve 2-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 16hp2-Speed Planetary GearboxFront, Semi-Elliptic Leaf Spring, Rear, Full Elliptic Leaf Spring Rear SuspensionExternal-Contracting Rear Wheel Drum Brakes*High-quality older restoration*Long term ownership within the collection*Eligible for the Audrain Veteran Car Tour and HCCA eventsREO CARSBy 1907, only Buick and Ford were selling more cars than REO, largely thanks to the popularity of the make's two-cylinder models. In size, power and price, the REO was a direct competitor to the contemporary two-cylinder Buick. The 1907 REO Model A Touring, with detachable rear tonneau seating, listed for $1,250. A Roadster model cost $250 less.If you were in two minds about purchasing one then (or indeed today!), you might want to consider Olds' bold advertising claims – 'This big, handsome, powerful 5-passenger car does more for its price and operating-cost than any other motor-car ever built', they stated 'The REO beat 32 higher-priced cars on Dead-Horse Hill, Worcester, Mass; 12 on Pasadena-Altadena Hill, California; 13 on Perry and Philips Hills, Algonquin, Ill; 20 on Paddock Hill, Cincinnati; 22 on Gates Mills Hill, Cleveland, Ohio.' 'no roads or weather can stop the REO;' 'it does the same work every day for its owners as it does in public contests; that it has plenty of 'go' and plenty of come-back again; and that you needn't mortgage your home to keep the REO going.' It clearly was a campaign that worked too. These two-cylinder REO models were manufactured between 1905 and 1910. The cars were highly respected for their performance and relative reliability when new. Today, collectors prize restored examples as excellent brass-era machines for club tours.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe newer of the two REOs in this collection, the car was for some time owned by respected early automobile enthusiast and dealer Donald G. Meyer of Lebanon, New Jersey. Mr. Meyer was for a long time an active member of the Horseless Carriage Club and Silver Ghost Association and he was very familiar with the best cars to use for touring, it is not surprising that he elected to own one of these reliable REOs. Finished in a rich burgundy hue to both bodywork and chassis this is accented with lighter red wheels, black wooden fenders and a black top. The car has a plethora of brass accoutrements enhancing its overall appeal, including beautiful round Atwood headlamps with beveled edge glass, brass sidelamps and taillamp. The cowled dash is filled with coil box, speedometer, a New Haven Clock Co. clock, Selden Plate among other fixtures. To assist with touring, the car has been fitted with a ring gear and starter motor and subtle signaling lamps are affixed to the rear fenders, all useful features. Viewed carefully the REO is a nicely bedded in example of what was clearly a high quality restoration at some point. There is some light cracking to the wood fenders, but the paintwork presents well and the exquisite button back upholstery has a luster and shine of use but limited damage or wear. An undeniably good looking car, by definition it would make a perfect entry for events such as those of the Horseless Carriage Club or indeed the newly founded Audrain Veteran Car Tour taking place this weekend and each spring.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1912 Ford Model T Torpedo Roadster Project Engine no. 99889177ci Flathead Inline 4-Cylinder EngineSingle CarburetorApprox. 22hp at 1,600 rpm2-Speed Planetary Manual Transmission Transverse Leaf Springs and Solid Axles Front and Rear Rear-Wheel Drum Brakes*A starter Model T *Much work already completed*Desirable sporting bodystyleTHE MOTORCAR OFFEREDFor those who haven't experienced a great 'Brass T', they are about as much fun as you can have on four wheels. Ford really got it right with the early Ford Ts and, when properly set up, they perform remarkably well. In fact, most brass car tourers have a story about a pesky Model T driver keeping up with the likes of a Silver Ghost or Pierce-Arrow.The Torpedo could be seen as Ford's first performance car, the standard T stripped down and with a little racer-type body. The hood was lengthened two inches, and the steering column was lowered. The result was a nimble and quick T with a look like no other. Any brass T is great fun for touring but the Torpedo is the ultimate.The 'T' here provides that opportunity for any prospective collector or indeed an existing collector wanting to swerve into the world of the Model T Ford. Should you need inspiration of how this car could be completed, you need look no further than lots 504 or 535 in today's auction, which display two potential directions for this project, stock factory or performance special. Sold as viewed, inspection of the car suggests that a lot of work has already been completed, much of the paintwork, the engine bay appears detailed and at first glance suggests that it may have been restored, certainly on the cosmetic side it presents very nicely. The radiator and most of the brass fittings are highly polished also. Winter is coming... well sort of, this is the North East afterall! With the wide availability of parts and support for these cars this is a great entrée to Model T ownership.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
