6,000 Original Mile \'36 Club Cabriolet

[JM 35 Sedan]

My 41k original miles Fordor flatback sedan looked many times better than that '36 when I got it in 2007. After seven years and 22k more miles it still looks better, IMHO. Not bragging...just saying. That '36 has had a tough time somewhere in those 6k miles.

My 36 woodie has 1,092 miles on the odometer.

Never been to the museum but I remember when we pushed it out of Winfield's Garage. I sat in it and looked at the radio and I expected that if I turned it on it would have WWII war news coming from it.

We jumped it and it started right up. Kong and Ed tweaked it a bit and Ed offered it to Kong for a sweet deal. Kong used to sweep floors for Winfield when he as a little kid. Winfield liked Kong a lot and that is why the price was so low. Why do you think Kong was so smart?

That 40 ran like a top.

Here is from left to right Kong, Winfield and myself checking out my B engine with Cook four port. Two Winfield carbs on the left side

It was neat getting advice from Winfield. I wonder what ever happened to that Kong prototype ignition. Notice the four cylinder GM cap

Here you go


Doug Boyd was on that trip and he had one of those really big giant cameras. Winfield got out his photo album and he took some pics of the pics. Here is one of Ed Winfield with his Model T powered race car.



Notice to cool intake manifold for the updraft Winfield Carb. He did it that way cus he wanted a specific length from carb to intake valve. Ed did not like having two intake ports on the T with 1-2-4-3 timing. He fixed that by building a crank that was two up then two down. Now his timing was 1-3-2-4 so that the intake was 180 deg apart. I am sure he had a few other speed secrets.

Low miles and poorly fitting sheet metal means probably been wrecked and sat many years until someone found it and got it back togather.
