Yeah, I really enjoy looking at the innovation that went into the early 1900s stuff. The Starter/Generator on this one is particularly interesting to me.

The guys who's working on it I would guess is probably in his mid 40s and has never been around anything this old. I went over the spark advance and throttle advance levers on the steering column the gasoline primer cups in the head (2 of which were broken off and and one missing a piece)and how to hold and pull the manual start crank handle so as not to break is hand/arm in case of backfire when starting with the crank.

According to what he had been told it is 1 of 3......but that is not unrealistic for what ever model year it turns out to be. From the looks of it it was ordered as a truck cab and chassis, then sent to somebody who built the coach. A small 1or 2 man shop could realistically take 3 or 4 months to do the build out (mostly metal clad wood).
