He put a plate on the engine with the year built by Walter DuPont on the engine.That tag will stay on the engine as a legacy to the pride and craftsmanship of Walter DuPont. Hopefully next year I will visit with him during my annual trip to Maine.

If you are up next year and visiting, if ready will bring up my 26 Fordor an original car from PA you would appreciate it.
When I bought it a few years ago and told Walt he laughed and said "what do you want with one of those things, It's only got about 20 horsepower"
