New Member With Interesting Car

Unknown

I got a note from a fellow with a very interesting Super Six. He has

subscribed to our list and contributed posts over the past week or so. He has

a 1926 Roadster with a Pioneer body. The Pioneer Body Co. is related to the

Anderson Body Co. (the Co. that built my Coupe), but the relationship is

unclear. Tom has promised to send us some pics, and I for one can hardly wait

to see them. With his permission, I have reprinted below a portion of an

email that he sent me a couple of weeks ago. Tom is a State Senator in KY.



From Tom's earlier post to me:



"WHAT GREAT NEWS TO FINALLY FIND SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE PIONEER BODY.

THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICS. IT HAS THE 6 CYL. AND RUNS FAST. TOO

FAST FOR THE BRAKES , AS DO MOST 1926 MODLES.

I HAVE BEEN RESTORING IT TO WHERE I AM FINISHED FOR A WHILE. HAD IT PAINTED

2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE NOT HAD IT OUT OF THE GARAGE. HAD THE WOOD SPOKE WHEELS

REFINISHED TO PERFECT. NEW WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES PUT ON AND DISCOVERED THAT

ONE RIM IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT CAUSES A FAIRLY GOOD WIGGLE IN

THE REAR 21" WHEEL. DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE. THERE ARE 20 " TIRES ON

THE FRONT AND 21" TIRES ON THE REAR THE FLOORS, WHICH ARE WALNUT HAVE BEEN

REFINISHED. I NEED TO WORK ON THE FINISH OF THE DASH, BUT IT IS ACCEPTABLE.

THE SEAT COVERS ARE NICE, BUT I MAY REPLACE SOON. IT IS A RIGHT HAND

DRIVE-WHAT ABOUT YOURS? R OR L... I HAVE PAINTED THE CAR A PEARL OFF WHITE

WITH A SLIGHTLY SHADE DARKER FENDERS. IT LOOKS PRETTY CLASSY. SOME ONE HAD

REBUILT THE MOTOR BEFORE I GOT IT. IT RUNS STRONG- LIKE NEW. (BETTER). I

HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A SISTER LIVING IN SYDNEY, OH. SHE WANTS TO COME TO

KY. AND SEE THE CAR. SHE IS TO GET ANY INFO. ON THE COMPANY THAT CAN BE

FOUND. I HAVE A MANUAL FOR THE 26 HUDSON AND IT APPEARS TO BE ALL I NEED TO

KEEP IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION, BUT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE SOME 1926

PICTURES FROM OHIO, I WANT TO GET EVERTHING ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR

WAS IN THE POSESSION OF PRESIDENT MANUEL NORIAGA IN PANAMA. I GOT IT FROM

AN AUCTION OF HIS ASSESTS AND HAD IT DELIVERED INTO MIAMI. IT WAS DELIVERED

TO HERE BY TRUCK.



DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA AS TO VALUE OF YOUR CAR.? I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO VALUE.

I HAVE IT INSURED FOR $20,000.00



YES, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ME TO THE LIST. THIS IS GREAT.!!"



Snip!



"I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME PICTURES. I'LL TRY TO GET MY DAUGHTER TO STOP BY

AND SCAN MY PICTURES TO YOU.



DO YOU HAVE ANY 21 " RIMS FOR SALE-- I NEED ONE.??
