Photo of the Day--1899 Crouch Steamer

According to the Standard Catalog, Crouch began in 1895, but was finished by 1900. It does not sound as though there was ever any volume, so perhaps this is the car that was claimed to have traveled "over frozen, hilly and muddy roads, 4 1/2 miles in 15 minutes". Quite a claim for that time and those conditions.....

Photo of the Day--1919ish Cunningham

Posted by HCCA Southern Ontario Region On Saturday, January 21, 2012 0 comments

This is a bit of a guess, but it appears to be a circa 1919 Cunningham. A similar, or perhaps the same car with different wheels, can be found with a google search, pictured at the National Auto Museum in Reno.

Last one from Bruce, via Steve--thanks again guys!
