This was found in my mom's estate, been dealing with heirlooms and furniture recently. I enjoy looking for the transportation pictures, not people I don't recognize posing all serious. Written on the back: "Taken August 28, 1910 in front of Fingel residence ... Canton, IL" and another print "Dolly + the Fingel & Moore families." These families were not related with our family, just that my grandmother remarried but they didn't have children. Thought this was so cool, a family still using the "fossil-free" "carbon neutral" transportation, when they also had a car. Written on the back: Margaret Fingel and her "Pa" in his ? Auto. Oct. 16th '09.

Hello everyone. I found this Entex kit at my local hobby store for $60. I'm a big fan of these old brass era autos. The kit features the 1910 Thomas Flyer Model M 6 - 40. Possibly the best Thomas ever built, it had the companies most powerful 6 cylinder engine (64Hp @ 1500RPM) and highest price tag. Surprised I haven't seen any of these cars built on this forum. I've seen many Mercers (which I eventually want to build) but not these Thomas's Anyways, I started getting the engine assembled. The cylinder heads were put together along with the brass priming cups. Before the heads were mounted to the block, i installed the valve springs. Finally the flywheel was installed. The car on the box art is green but I feel that RED what look good on the car. Along with natural rubber white colored tires
