Let's Talk Cyclecars

Going from memory it was a home made engine using a Riley Crank case and adaptor blocks to take the Liberty cylinders and heads. It had a very long stroke apparently, but I don't recall any torque or horsepower figures mentioned.

Cozette blower being rebuilt by Marc... maybe i have posted this before?

 

Bob,
Thank you on excellent photos! From thoery I knew for such type of compressors, but didin't saw one in parts as you show it! I was more familair with ROOTS typs with couple of eight-shaped "pistons" revolving inside a case...
Zoran

 

Yes,that is correct. I did ask when he was in the process of rebuilding this if he was going to use carbon fiber vanes as a replacement.No,was the answer....he returned metal to service.

 

More Cozette supercharger...

 

M organ...maybe a repeat.

 

This looks like the start of an interesting project - American to boot.

^^^^^ NOT a Kelsey Motorette. Bob

 

I would so much rather be a mechanicien than a mechanic. sounds like you might need a medical degree.

 

We showed Anthony's Wing as he was disassembling it and cleaning it up.They have the motor back in it now. This car was formerly owned by Gary Howard.

Bob-- any shots of the engine?

Herb

 

Herb,I have pictures of the engine before and during disassembly.No shots of the completed reassembled Indian 4 yet.

 

here you go Herb! all of the pictures I have harvested of the former Gary Howard Wing(now owned by Anthony R.).Images used with permission from A.R. ...You're getting them in the order that they appear in my computer.Also ,most of these have been posted in the past. ,not the order they were taken.

 

Anthony's Wing...

 

Anthony's Wing. The idea wasn't to strip and completely restore the car.
They did take about 40 hours to strip the several layers of paint down to the original black using razor blades.

 

Bob, isn't that a Henderson 4 cyl.?
And for some reason I have all those pix labeled as Von Dutch. Did he once own it?

 

Gary Howard = Von Dutch

 

1 908 Compiegne.

 

I hate to correct you Bob, but I think you meant Kenneth Howard = Von Dutch. Was it owned by Gary Howard, the custom builder? Whoever owned it it's neat as hell.

 

thanks Olson!No apologies required.I don't need to pass around the wrong information.

 

From what I remember it was Kenneth Howard- Von Dutch that owned it. See the pin striping? I would of had a hard time removing that paint.

 

The car was owned by Kenny Howard = Von Dutch. In another correction it is a 1920 Henderson Model K engine like Fred said.

 

Thanks Bob,
Was going to say Henderson K, but Olsen beat me to it. Notice from the skirt of the cylinders that it had had a hard life. The farm windmill type fan is great also--wonder how much that added to the top speed?
