Vehicle Description
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.
