Auction At Titusville, Florida
On Friday, April 10th my wife, son and I attended a preview of cars to be sold at auction the following day in Titusville, Florida. We did not attend the auction the next day but I bet there were some happy campers. Although some were pretty rough, they were salvageable. There were several complete engines including flatheads up for auction. I saw more Chevy Nomads than I had ever seen at any show including Hershey.
A couple of 3 window coupes waiting to be restored. A unique `35 Cabriolet with a roll out windshield? Give me your thoughts on this. Lots of desirable Nomads and convertibles.

Re: Auction At Titusville, Florida
Thanks for sharing! I would think the 35 Cabriolet with the roll out is a conversion from a coupe. Did you notice or get a picture of the door? Short door or long? Thanks again for sharing the great pictures !

Re: Auction At Titusville, Florida
Didn't the handle for the window on coupes come through the dash ?

It does indeed come through the dash. I believe this was an attempt to to install a roll out windshield. The dash has been replaced to accept the mechanism as the original had no provision for the crank. I have to wonder why the cabriolets, roadsters and station wagons did not have this roll out windshield option.

SHADETREE .......................................
Thanks for taking and posting photos of the cars to be auctioned in Titusville, Fl ! How about those prices on the 3 Window Coupes ? WOW ! Sorry that I was not able to meet you there, but LIFE got in the way. Did you get photos of the roadsters that were there ? I never heard of a '35 Cabriolet having a roll out windshield and I have owned one for nearly fifty years. My bet is that someone tried to install one, themselves. Thanks again, SHADETREE !

Re: Auction At Titusville, Florida
Thanks for sharing these pictures Tony. It is incredible to see what one man has collected over the years. Hope to see some of these cars back on the road after all these years sitting untouched. Last edited by mercman from oz; 04-16-2015 at 07:55 PM. |
