MotoeXotica Classic Cars rarely states "one of a kind", perhaps we
should say #1 of only fifty Squire SS-100 ever produced! This low
mileage, first example has been lovingly cared for by the same
family for 20 years! The Squire SS100 is an almost exact, full size
replica of the 1939-1939 Jaguar SS-100. The car was commissioned by
Auto Sport Importers, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and made
by Automobili Intermeccanica in Trofarello, Italy between 1970 and
1975, reportedly by Fiat technicians who were moonlighting evenings
and weekends. The driving force behind the creation of the Squire
SS100 was 1950's Philadelphia radio personality Ed Felbin. The car
needed an identity, a prefix before `SS100' to set it apart and
give it an aristocratic sound. Ed was playing golf at a `Squire's
Country Club', which proved suitable inspiration. He simply removed
the `s' and somewhere before the eighteenth green, the name `Squire
SS100' was born. Felbin thought a new car of classic design with
elegant foreign coachwork and modern American power was a good and
saleable idea. In this, before the days of `kit cars', Felbin was
ahead of his time. Finished in Bright Red, this 6-ply hand-laid
fiberglass bodied Squire shows extremely well. The black canvass
manual convertible top and matching side curtains are in very good
condition. Both running boards are equally in great shape. The
headlights are protected by stone guards and set in hand-laid metal
shells mounted in front of the grill shell that was also hand-made
in the old coach-built manner, panels beaten over a wooden buck.
The driving lamps are a flat lens H4 and the with dual bracket
mounted Fiamm horns go well with the style. The tail lights are
well positioned and in excellent condition. All the trim is present
and complete and presents a brilliant finish. Inside, the interior
is black leatherette vinyl, the bucket seats have an excellent
support and are very comfortable. The black door panels, black
vinyl covered dashboard and matching carpet are a continuation of
the interior of the car and look fantastic. All the Jaeger gauges
are in place and have correct �period appearance and function as
designed. The heater/defroster with a highly desirable Nardi three
spoke wooden steering wheel completes the interior. This beautiful
Squire comes equipped with a Ford 250 cubic inch straight six OHV
engine, fed by a Autolie 2-barrel carburetor. Power is transferred
to the wheels with a 3-speed C-4 Cruise-O-Matic automatic
transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear differential. Driver assist
features include four-wheel American Bendix hydraulic drum brakes.
The roadster's suspension consists of leaf springs in the rear and
a torsion-bar design in front. This Squire SS100 comes with 15-inch
72 spoke wire wheels made by Dunlop with Rudge knock-off hubs. The
Squire SS100s have quietly slipped into collector car status in the
past thirty years and have appreciated considerably in value. With
