This was used at a dude ranch in Gaylord Michigan and spend almost all of its life there. It has motor that turns over and was told it did fire up but backfired alot. Everything appears to be original to car. Thanks to the great Michigan ecconomy I have to sell a few of my projects. Please call 231 267 9202 or 231 883 3599.

Cut down Tudor Sedan. I found it interesting that the front fenders are early to mid 1928 style.

This car has an interesting history. I first saw it in 1963 in a parade. Doc Stevens had it to entertain guests at Gay-El-Rancho on the east shore of Dixon Lake. One of the last events there was my daughter's wedding.

I went to school with Doc's son Steve. The car had not ran in many years. The last time Steve did a wheelstand he ended up with a lap full of gas. I looked the car over in the late 90's and passed on it. It has been outside since the mid 90's except for a couple of years south of the ranch after it was given to an employee. I was told by Steve that the drive shaft was taken out and the rearend was welded to the output from the transmission.

From what I remember it had a few early features and the number stamp on the engine was not readable. Steve did not know where the title was and I don't believe it has been licensed for 50 years.
