Here's a pic of the "Oldest New Car" at the Chicago Auto Show this last week. It's owned /restored by my Father,,,1909 Buick Model 10. 2 miles since restoration. It's at the Volo Auto Museum now , up for sale,,Volo wanted to take it up to Chicago for the Auto Show, one of three cars from the Museum.not sure if it sold up there, but it is on Volo's website www.voloautomuseum.com
click on "showroom" ,then Buick,,,,,
just wanted to share,,,,

Thanks Shirley! 2 miles since restoration,,,no expense spared, top to bottom ,every bolt etc. restored,notice the "mother-in-law" seat in the rear,the rear of the main body had to be re-made due to someone b4 altering it,,(the main body is WOOD) since restoration, the car has only been on it's own enclosed trailer to shows,(the exposed pushrods on the engine tend to throw oil) it has a oil can mounted on the firewall, to oil the exposed workings during (they say) 25 miles or so,,,, so it does not get driven ,pretty much at all. it's gotten Best in Show at every show it's been too,,,,pictures do not do it justice,,,it's already known to be one of the Top "Brass Era" autos in the country.
just wanted to show off my Dad's expertise and HARD WORK

Not sure Shirley,,it might have been sold during or due to it being at the auto show,,,play your cards right , and if the time frame is there, we can take you all up "north"(about a 1/2 or so)to where he works(retired from his "normal" job,,45+yrs.)now , for a funeral director that has a EXTENSIVE Antique auto, fire truck,horse carriage,antique steam tractor,and a zillion more things, at his private museum! it'll blow you away! 
that is if we get you all out of our house /zoo with enuf time ! LOL
