I'm from Michigan just about 60 miles north of Detroit. It's really cool to see antique cars so far away that were manufactured right here where I grew up. Thank you,
Ahh!! That's pretty awesome!! Some Detroit goodness spread around the world hey 😁
Old cars will always be amazing to see. Thank you for sharing!
I totally agree!! Some old cars just look way better than "plain old" modern cars 😉
Nice ride!
Thanks!! I wouldn't mind having one of my own 😉
Thank you very much for sharing this informations. I did not know that this car exist. Nice pictures!
Thanks! There are so many old cars that I actually have never seen before 😆
Welcome. So you show us more of them in the future?!
Yip...
Great! Thx!
Wow! An incredible 32 mph. Very stylish. Probably was a lot of fun to drive. 🐓🐓
Must have been super fancy driving an "automobile" when your friends still have horse-drawn carriages 😆
this one is so cute.. hehe
Hehe - lots of "cute" cars on the old days hey 😉
These are really grand, I did not realize the were motorized @cheeto.blue
Certainly does not look motorized when just looking at it hey 😁
Amazing that you can call that a car!, but it is it has an engine and can transport people!!
Hehe - true that! I'm sure it was super amazing back then though 😆
Great car and photo!! Amazing low power for a 1500 cc!!
Especially by today's standards!! I just compare cars from 20 years ago and you can so much more power from a 1 400 now than say a 1 600/1 800 then 😳
