132AE, 1920 RR Silver Ghost Tourer

Body by Littin and Son

Owned by a New Jersey enthusiast, this Silver Ghost was barely running when it came into our shop. It had been fitted with a crude speedster-style seat and fuel tank.

Vintage and Auto Rebuilds performed a full restoration on the drivetrain and chassis and crafted a new touring body for it to the owner's specifications.

 

In 2002, the owner took the car to the RROC meet in Hot Springs, VA. Here it is pictured with its homemade racer-style body prior to restoration. The driver's seat is an old passenger seat from a Philadelphia transit motor coach!

A little humor during the day never hurts! Here is the racer body after being put out to pasture. a "RIP" headstone marks the spot. The proud owner and his partner enjoying their first time in the completed and upholstered body. Body will be fitted to the chassis shortly thereafter.
Dismantling continues on the now stripped chassis. All mechanical components are being removed leaving a bare chassis. The completed car. Ready for and extensively toured after its restoration.
