My avatar pic is of CPD taking deliver of 1929 Phaetons. The vehicles were void of any excessive decoration. They typically had CPD or Police on the hood, a number on the doors and a number on the roof. Here is a picture of a '36 Ford Paddy Wagon that shows how devoid of any major bling it had. http://copcardotcom.fotki.com/photog...940struck.html Here is a 20's era CPD wagon as well. This one has the bell in front of the radiator, the first and only time I've seen a picture like that. Most other ones had a bell on the passenger running board. http://copcardotcom.fotki.com/photog...ized-patr.html The website refers to it as a '24 Ford but that radiator doesn't look 20's Model T to me. I can't wait until I (hopefully) get to see this thing pulled out of the barn or at least with all the crap off of it (notice all the tennis rackets stacked up on the front seat). -Tim |
Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago That's an easy answer that is a WHITE not a Ford. Thanks for all your posts on this collection, I really want to get out there to at least see it. http://copcardotcom.fotki.com/photog...ized-patr.html The website refers to it as a '24 Ford but that radiator doesn't look 20's Model T to me.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago During these first days of the great removal at Hartungs Museum ~ I am happy to iPhone short video footage of this historic sell-off of Lee's lifes work is drag-outside. I was told to "Keep Out" so I video outside the new Chain-link fence with both Iphone and my new Nikon D5000 digital video to archive this historic event.
The fat security guard yelled No Photo's which I yelled back I.m on public land and snapped her fat ass also email me at [email protected] happy to share video's of the yard with all the pieces before they are stashed away |
Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago according to my source

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago Paddy Wagon, story I heard Lee Roy dressed it up with all his stuff to look like a Paddy Wagon, its outside now and really is huge.
Check out the last video's ever taken inside the Museums final hours intacted; YouTube search Video by user ; Bitdrive or search: Hartung3 this guy was the last to roll footage with Margie or Bonnie talking in the backround He has 3 full length video's now up on YouTube The Museum is gone, period but we have this to remember the good old days of Hartungs Auto Museum Glenview,IL |
Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago Well, two videos popped up on Youtube the other day showing the dismantling of the collection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rtgYGwllE You can see in the first video a shot of Wayne Carini looking over one of the cars. So, you know it has to have some impressive stuff. Here, someone goes around talking to various workers at the site interviewing them about working there...not all that terribly interesting but if you watch the background you can see a lot of the stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJTA0..._order&list=UL The first video also offers this shot...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ls/hartung.jpg As you can see, it is a AA Bus that has bars added to the side windows. It is NOT an original 285-A or 290-A Police Patrol as manufactured by Ford in '31. Still pretty cool to see though. -Tim |

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago Looks like RM has got 642 lots listed on there website. It's amazing to see the conglumeration of a collection actually broken down and be able to see everything that was there. Does anyone know if they plan to put out a printed catalog. I would be interested in buying one although I have no intentions of going to the auction.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago Although it's not a Model A, does anybody here know anything about this 1932 Essex type car? Were they any good back in the day and are parts impossible to find?

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago Quote:
Essex was basically a Hudson on a more economical scale. Hudson engineers were very good at what they did and the Essex shares from this same gene-pool. Based on the pictures, I not sure exactly what parts you feel like it will need but consider the fact that 1932 was about the last year for the Essex, ....and there is no Berts, Snyders, Brattons, etc. for reproduction Essex parts. When you own an orphan car, you generally are forced to "restore" what is there instead of 'replace' parts. . . |
