AUTO RED BUG
This
vehicle was actually legal for the road, when new. This particular example was
discovered at the Hershey AACA Fall National meet a few years ago. It came out
of Connecticut.
The person that sold it to me said that his father had put up in the loft of their
barn 40-50 years earlier. It is Auto Red Bug # 04607. The motor that was
originally with this vehicle got separated from it before the former owner's
father owned it. With it came three motors. Two are Smith Motor Wheels and the
third is not. Everything related to the Auto Red Bug seen in the photos comes
with it. Two of the motors turn over. The one that looks rusty does not. There
are no lights with it. There is no title. It will be sold on a Bill of Sale
only. The underside appears to have its original varnish. The red paint on the
wheels and the metal pieces was brushed on probably 40 or so years ago. One of
the old tires on it may even be original to it (the Goodyear shown in the
photos). The other side has a BF Goodrich on it. Again, I make no representations
as I know little or nothing about these vehicles. My name is Smith and that's
why I bought it. It appears to have never been left outside. It appears to have
never been significantly damaged. This is a very cool thing and appears to be
something that can easily be restored or possibly just preserved.
