Oh, yeah, Bob!

The famous Continental "Red Seal" engine. They have powered just about everything on wheels (stationary too, for that matter) for many years. I knew all the Kaisers and Frazers had them, and not very long ago somebody had an old Checker Cab for sale, powered by ..... Continental. When I was a skinny, big-footed teenager I used to go to West Texas every summer to work harvesting wheat and oats. The man I worked for used McCormick Deering combines, powered by (you guessed it) the mighty Continental Red Seal. They were everywhere, in all kinds of different applications.

I wish I had one. I don't need one at all, but I wish I had one anyway.

Thanks for the picture,


Jim
