Gary Karr's December 1927 chassis at 2015 OCMAFCA pancake breakfast

[Neil Mylar LakewoodCA]

One of the most viewed entrys at the 2015 OCMAFC pancake breakfast was Gary Karr's December 1927 chassis.

Gary said he spent 13 years collecting parts and restoring this chassis.

It was a treat for me to view up close some unique 1927 features and some that continued into early 1928.

I took many pictures, but am only showing 24 of them. Maybe someone else has more or better pictures.

Some things I noticed:

thick boss on head at distributor hold down bolt
2 Ford scripts on distributor cap
early Zenith carb (Ford script on upper half at back side, not seen in pic)
short, thick powerhouse arm
unique timing pin
offset starter rod
brake pedal return spring
smooth brake and clutch pedals
u-joint housing with zerk on side (eventually moved to make lubrication easier)
shocks with large numbers on top
early shock arms
early shroud
woven radiator shell
tall boss for motor number
on-off-dim light rod
red stripe and highlighted logo on tires
heavy duty rear bumper cross member

Gary,
Thank you for sharing your chassis and for your great patience in answering everyone's questions.
Regards, Neil Mylar
