The Photographs that everyone has been hanging out for. The Dixie Flyer right back at its birthplace. The Kentucky Wagon Mfg Company's (1876) works at 3rd Street Louisville.KY.

These historic 1850s industrial buildings are now owned by the University in Louisville and are scheduled to be bulldozed in the near future.

Hi 

Now that we have been back in Australia for just over a week I have started to tidy up in preparation for the next project. I have some items left that are too good (valuable?0 to send to scrap, 

First two Herschel-Spillman 4 cylinder engines one dismantled the other as found, These were used in a number of early 1920s American cars Dort probably being the most common. 

also

Two Dyneto 6 volt generators Both are dismantled but could be a good source of parts approx 8 inches long and 4 1/2 inches in diameter. 

Free to a good home but recipient pays freight.

To close the final chapter on the Dixie Flyer story The Automobile magazine from the UK has just published a condensed (3 page) version of the whole Dixie Flyer saga in their October 2010 issue.

To turn the last page of the final chapter.....

I am reliably informed that the Dixie Flyer was delivered to-day to the AACA Museum at Hershey where it is to go on display for a limited period giving all those people who did not make it to Louisville a chance to see it.

Sorry I forgot to include the last photograph.
