With the exception of a couple evening gunfight shows, the museum I work at has been closed for the summer. But this summer the owners asked me if id like to work on some of the antique vehicles.
I started with the 1 1/2 ton Autocar from 1918. After a few days going through the fuel tank and carb I gave her a crank. On the third try she actually started and I took her for a spin. Since then I've pulled her water pump, radiator, carb and steering box. My goal is to drive this in the Gold Rush Days parade next February and also to make her a reliable driver for tours.
