Pete J. Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Two seat open roadster. Room for two sets of golf clubs. Fast for its time. Flashy even today. What more could you ask for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This was definitely a "Hollywood" car in the ere. It is also know as the Gold Bug. Owners of the time: Amelia Earhart, Fatty Arbuckle, Douglas Fairbanks, etc. Very nice classic. http://www.forneymuseum.org/FE_AmeliaEarhartGoldBug.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) When I first saw it, I thought it was Amelia Earhart's, but when I found a picture of hers the wheels were the wrong color and after doing some "sleuthing" (imagine that, me actually doing work!) I also discovered that this one's a different year. :-) Edited October 24, 2014 by horsepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 It can't be a model... it has a rear-view mirror! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also discovered that this one's a different year. :-)Yes, same here. Amelia's also had those strange slide out side seats in front of the rear bumpers. There a number of iterations of this particular car. I suppose the people who owned them could afford from custom coach work. I also noticed that a lot of them have porthole windows on the side of the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I wish there was a model of this car available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'll second that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work on the car can be seen here... http://www.concoursstudios.com/freelance-writing/kissel-kar Edited October 27, 2014 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
