The chevrolet four cylinder engines are interesting things made famous in the States on the dirt tracks by John Gerber and on the salt flats by Bob Rufi. They both used the earlier block and three port head though. ...

The Maddox look very intresting - presumably none of these have survived? The term 'doctor's coupe' seems to be very wide. I would say the Maddox is closer to than the Rolls. A two seater with a high fixed roofline and rounded trunk seem to define the classic shape. Can't find a single period pictur...

I agree, the 'Doctors Coupe, looks like a cut down saloon. Are there any known original minor 'Doctors Coupe'? and why did Doctor's choose this body shape if in fact they ever did? Does anyone know the origins of this term. Perhaps it is a term left over from the Edwardian period when small closed c...

Wow - from the photo on the home page it looks remarkably well preserved. Perhaps all the mud has kept the oxygen out. Looking forward to seeing some more photos when its completely out.
