Cool storey, So that was your familys car?

That makes the car worth even more to the owner having known history like that.

Is that wood frame member in the picture of engine?

edit; I see you list wood chassis, the whole frame is wood? any idea what type of wood?

And is is air cooled, looking at that shroud over the top of engine.

Dudley, the new owner sure did some detective work to find you. That's an awesome piece of automotive history and family history. I know you will want to follow every detail of the restoration. Do you know if Leno has one of those in his collection?
