BREWSTER DRIVE - Street Sign. Heavy gauge metal with raised painted letters. Not the usual light gauge metal with vinyl letters. I had these signs made special just like the ones used by local governments for marking the streets in towns. It measures approximately 36 inches long X 6 inches wide. The durable baked enamel finish will give years of service in use outdoors or just hang it in the "museum" area in your house. For more information contact DON at dewx2pa@comcast.net

Car # 9018 has had an interesting history in that it was sold new to Mrs. Violet W. Crane on September 13, 1934. At the time of the original sale it was mounted on Ford V8 Chassis #18-573320. In November 1936 Brewster bought the car from Jacod (this name appears in many of the original records so he was evidently a dealer that was well known by the Brewster organization). Brewster then sold this body to Mrs. A. F. Bemis. Mrs Bemis had it mounted on a 1925, Twenty HP Rolls-Royce chassis #GSK-41. RR records show that this chassis was built in England. It was fitted with a Cabriolet body by Kelner and sent to Paris to be sold to M. F. Mastbaum. Brewster records show that the chassis was purchased from E. W. Mastbaum in December of 1936 and in turn was sold to Mrs. Bemis with Brewster body # 9018 mounted. It is easy to see that the Ford style Brewster body is completely in tact from the cowl back. This type of re-chassis work was done on a regular basis by Brewster under the management of John S. Inskip.

This car is presently for sale. It is located in the Pittsburgh, PA area. The owner can be contacted direct at phantasom7@aol.com

This car has the original mechanical, vacuum power braking system. It also has a 21 stud LB Ford flathead with aluminum heads. The starter, carb, distributor, water pumps, coil, have been re-built. The exhaust is new, along with porcelain manifolds with new exhaust, and all new engine hardware and hoses. It was sold new to Ms. Harriet H. Hansell of Philadelphia, PA on April 25, 1935 from Norristown Ford, a Philadelphia suburb, although it has a 1936 NJ title. Ms. Hansell's initials are still on the rear doors, and I have a copy of "Who's Who in Philadelphia 1935" where she is listed.

The cane work is perfect and all original, along with an original picnic basket, accessory rear compartment lambs wool throw rug, one jump seat, most of the original tools with pouch, a sterling whisk broom. The odometer does not work, 55,000 miles. I run/start it regularly, needs very little to be in the winner's circle. I also have an original piece of factory-new literature.
