Harrison, I thank you for your letter of the 3rd.inst. I am afraid the Weymann Saloon car you mention is too old to be any good for what I want. The 1928 chassis GYL-63 is more promising. I do not know exactly what chance there is of the gentleman I am thinking of, buying a small bore 20 Hp. car now that the large bore is well in production, but I will communicate with him on the subject. If he should be sufficiently interested want to see the car and it has not been sold before Christmas, I might run the car over to him then as I shall be in the district for two or three days. Frankly, I am afraid that he will want to be up to date and have a car like our present new one. Yours very truly, | ||
