There's a running 1915 7-passenger touring car available near Pateros WA (east of the Cascade range, near the center of the state where it's dry).

That would be a fun car to have.....I think. I wonder of the interior is complete and original? I guess these cars just don't command much money. -
Does anybody know what the things are that are next to the spark plugs? I am 65 and and embarrassed to admit I have never seen these. Compression release, oilers, priming cups nothing I have thought of seems to fit. It is probably something obvious but it is driving me nuts with curiosity. Anyone know? Thanks.Last edited by Mikado282; 08-14-2016, 04:15 PM.Comment

About twenty years ago, a very active member of the chapter I was a part of in Texas drove his 1917 touring car to our February meeting - about 30 miles one way. Texas in February is usually not that cold (think it was 50 that day). Even with the side curtains down and winter clothing from head to toe, he and his wife were pretty "chilled" by the time they reached the meeting place...the dawn of the automobile age was not always an all weather endeavor...

Flashback is right - primer cups. Put a little gas in each one, valve that into the cylinder then start a cold engine. I don't know if these are used in place of or along with carburetor choke. Jay Leno explains and demonstrates primer cups on some of his older cars.

I used to dream of having a car like that. It would be fun to make short trips around town.
