Glenn Puro's 1917 Model B Touring
From the information I have, it appears the car was originally purchased for use in Bowen Montana then made its way to Butte, Montana. In 1973, it was purchased and the new Owner brought it to Tigard, Oregon and then West Linn, Oregon where I purchased it about 5 years ago. I came upon it at an Estate Sale Auction in my neighborhood and had to have it to make sure it went to a good home.
The motor appears to be original and only has 21k original miles. The body paint has brush marks but the fenders have been sprayed. The leather upholstery appears to be original. The top was off of the car when I bought it but was saved in a container for use as a template. The wiring looks to be original as well.
I've also attached a copy of the original congratulations letter from the Oakland Motor Company to the original buyer. You'll see that the letter is dated December 3, 1917. The oiling chart that was part of the letter is also included.
