Gerd,
I hesitated about this but you knowing my obsession with the Owner Registry should well understand. On behalf of your friend can you include the 5-26 in the Owner Registry, etc, etc, etc? ![]()

I forgot to mention..the clock as shown..I cant tell from the pictures, but it also looks incorrect..the correct type would be a Jaeger or Waltham clock..also used on the 6th thru the 8th series.
Note on the Boyce Moto meter..the six's were thinner from a side profile whereas the eights were a bit thicker. Also the Godess of speed was an option to the Boyce Moto meter.

on engine compartment...
Some will replace the hex head nuts with chrome acorn nuts as used on the 443 8cyc models..however, the six's had just the plain hex heads..That is not to say they werent available from the dealer as perhaps an acorss the counter item. But all the sixes i can recall have the plain hex head nuts on the cyc heads.

Morning
re:303 designation 303 indicates it was a 5 passenger sedan 303 designation was used on the 4th and 5th series (1927 and 1928) 333 although the same body..it is 6th series 1929 It appears you are missing the escutheon cover plate on the choke and throttle knobs. the chock and throttle knobs moved to the insturment panel starting with eng number # 142172 Correction on Steering wheel..all the same in the 5th thru 7 th series..hard rubber black. 1928-1930 Need a back shot of headlamps to identify...however in the meantime..you early body indicates it more than likely had the Parabeam headlamp as opposed to the later Depress beam. all too oftern in restoratin esp. bright work they end up buffing out the mfg stamp CM Hall on the top of headlamps(idiots)..dont even take me there.

Gutcha
I went to their website..and it appears they still had the car as of 2006 on display. I have contacted the curator to see if he would be so kind as to email several shots of the car.. Hopefully his response will be positive...will keep you in the loop Sandy

Gerd,
How thick is the rolled steel plate used in the construction of the bellhousing adaptor? Reason I ask is, if it's 1/4"(about 6.3mm) it would have qualified here in Oz, well 40 years ago anyway, to run in heavily modified and dragster classes at the local drag strip!
