Details

This rumble-seat roadster was the sportiest model of the time and an incredible car. It is powered by its correct matching-numbers 424ci Twin Six engine, which is regarded as the first production V12 and was initially offered from 1916 through 1922. A 3-speed manual transmission backs up the V12 engine. Examples of the fantastic craftsmanship from the era are abundant throughout the car. Features include a very unusual ornate radiator mascot/motor meter, wooden spoke artillery wheels and a very unusual rear-mounted dual spare tire carrier. The original owner of the car was Joe Daniels from Daniels Packaging Company in Rhinelander, WI. Mr. Daniels was in the habit of buying a new car every couple of years and the old ones were never traded in, just put in the basement of the packaging company and kept for posterity. Since its release from the basement it has known ownership history all the way up to its present-day owner.
