1910 Velie Model D built in Moline, IL

This 1910 Velie was part of the same collection that Hemi Joel bought his 1933 Auburn Speedster. The car was called a 1909 but is actually a 1910. Bought by the Kelsey's family and it was part of the museum since the 1950s. Super, super original. Four cylinder, 333 CID. 40 HP, 115" wheelbase. Yes, it is now owned by good custodian! Who doesn't want a larger, early brass touring car?

 

The manifolds do have style!

 

Nice distributor drive.

 

Thanks! The timer (distributor) uses four separate coils and uses four spark plugs. The magneto is a dual magneto which can use as a distributor with battery or the magneto without the battery. It uses the other four sparkplugs. Basically, it has three different ignition systems.
