Vehicle description
Hello,If your serious please check this out on a computer, not just a phone. This is a 1901 Oldsmobile Curve replica. This is a complete replica that functions but needs some restoration after sitting. I am unsure of the year. I know the engine is a 1983 4 stroke. It has many correct replica kit parts but no name anywhere. I read that the Olds Curve was the first powered care of the Postal Service. Hence the signs. Car steers with a rudder stick.This replica cabin is made primarily out of 3/4 plywood. Suspension is made out of iron/steel parts. It has a running 5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine which is electric star by a key switch. Battery is newer. Engine runs good, I do have a brand new carb and fuel tank for it included. Transmission seems to be a two speed? I have moved it up and down the driveway but the chain needs adjustment. Under full acceleration the chain slips. Top in very good shape, it goes up and down, not fully down but partially back. Upholstery in great shape. Paint not too bad a shape shows well. Has lights mounted all around with wiring. I have not messed with them they currently don"t work. Horn does make noise but is not mounted.Includes era correct foot steps that need to be welded on, they are just sitting there in picture but very nice steps. Almost all metal coated with rustoleum rust convertor.Has drum brakes that need adjustment, they work but not well enough. They are foot activated or hand brake. Has 4 brand new solid no flat tires installed on it. Also includes extra rims and tires. Has two wooden spoke metal rim tires included with enough wooden spokes to make a set of 4. Drive axle attaches to back wheels. Plates were attached to old wheels and then bolted to drum. I used one old wheel on drivers side and new one on passenger side but just used brackets to attach. New owner can engineer how they want to permanently affix wheels.Car includes many extra parts as pictured. Got started on car but interests changed.Like most of these replicas they are for parades, kids and around the block drives. NO TITLE only bill of sale. No warranty expressed or implied. At least 40 years old and needs attention. Has worn parts, missing paint, will give you a splinter if your not careful and sometimes make you say bad things. BUT Will make someone very happy when finished!Pickup in Livonia Mi. Will assist shipper if you desire, all costs on buyer. May help deliver for mileage and fee after payment clears.
