As every fashionista knows, no outfit is complete without
accessories. Which is why we are so excited to open our newest exhibit “Holding
the Purse Strings: Women’s Accessories from the Turn of the Century
(1890s-1930s).” As the title suggests, this new exhibit displays handbags,
shoes and fans from, you guessed it, the turn of the century!</div>

handbags from the turn of the century are glitzy, with glass beads, sterling
silver and metal mesh that sparkle in the light. When worn, these dazzling
handbags conveyed messages about the owner’s status in society. Such costly and
visually stunning bags demonstrated the owner’s wealth and power, as well as
their taste for modern fashion.<o:p></o:p><br />

Before purses, precious objects were carried in drawstring
bags tied around the waist. With the popularity of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">robe a la française </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">robe
a la anglaise, </i>pockets were tied around the waist and hidden under these
large skirts. But as the 19<sup>th</sup> century neared the end, the silhouettes
of women’s garments slimmed down… meaning no more room for pockets. With this
came the popularity of purses!<o:p></o:p></div>

The first modern purses were called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reticules </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chatelaines</i>.
Typically made of precious metals, they were pinned like broaches to the
waistband on chest of a ladies’ gown. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chatelaines</i>
had multiple chains dangling from them, each with individual tools considered
essential for a lady. Kind of like a Swiss Army Knife! One of our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chatelaines </i>on exhibit has five chains,

tote bags of our day, chatelaines and other early purses may seem rather small.
A proper lady only needed to carry her most essential items with her: some
coins, a mirror and lipstick (when it became a more mainstream cosmetic). Due
to her reliance on servants and her husband or father, an upper class lady did
not need to carry more than the basic essentials. These bags were for
minimalists! However, with the rise of women in the workforce in the twentieth
century, purses began to come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate the
working woman.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />Metal
mesh bags from the turn of the century are big enough to just hold these few
necessities. These bags are made of interlocking pieces of metal, precious or
otherwise, much like a medieval knight’s chainmail. They could be painted with
designs, often inspired by Persian carpets. Our “Whiting and Davis” mesh bag is
printed with a beautiful Middle Eastern inspired motif in blue, white, yellow
and orange. Its golden kiss lock clasp is engraved with a floral motif. It
would have been <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the </i>accessory in its
day! The Whiting and Davis Company was founded in 1876 and pioneered the
machinery to mass produce these gorgeous metal mesh bags. I suspect that these
bags were popular not just for their good looks, but because they showed off
the newest in emerging technologies!<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />While drawstring bags and mesh bags were quite popular,
other popular purse styles included beaded bags with sturdy metal frames and
delicate metal link handles, boxy luggage inspired leather bags, and clutches. The
purses we have on display were all handmade, making them luxury goods. Most
ladies would have made their bags using kits, which saved money… but not time. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so excited to showcase these bags for you! They are
truly spectacular and I hope you enjoy seeing them and all of the other
fabulous objects we have at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. <o:p></o:p></div>

we pulled the drive augers off outside and left them for the time being. we will later bring them in, sand blast them and get the bearings figured out for the ends of them, as well as the drive sprockets. <br />

I think this is one of the more interesting projects that Brad has had to work on for many years. Brad Dietrick joined us almost a year ago and has been enjoying his time here with various projects, and we are glad to have him on board.<br />

You've probably noticed that we haven't posted anything on the blog for awhile. We've been quite busy at the museum the past few months, with many visitors and lots of projects. The glorious summer weather has allowed us to get many of the museum cars out for some exercise, so Brad, Willy, and the pit crew have been very busy rotating cars through the shop and taking them for drives.<br />

Our latest acquisition is a circa 1928 Edwards Pioneer Road Grader. John Hoegberg discovered the pull-type grader frozen in the tundra while mushing his dog team near Central in 1998. He used his Belgian draft horses to pull the grader to smooth out his mile-long driveway each spring. Sadly, John died suddenly last winter and we purchased this rare grader from his estate in May. We plan to spruce it up a bit and display it outside the museum.<div>

Our historian, Nancy DeWitt, recently finished up another book for the museum. Titled <i><b>Extreme Motoring: Alaska's First Automobiles and Their Dauntless Drivers</b></i>, this books brings Alaska's colorful automotive history to life in a charming collection of stories and more than 75 rare photographs. We expect the books to arrive in mid-September. If you would like to be notified when they do, please let us know.<br />

Speaking of books, we've got another one in the works. This one is on our historic fashion collection and will feature a few hundred photographs of our most loved dresses and accessories. We have been working with <a href="http://gregmartinphotoalaska.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Greg Martin Photography</b></span></a> to capture high-quality images of the garments, and visitors have enjoyed watching the photo shoots. We will have the books designed and printed this winter. Again, if you would like to be notified when they arrive, let us know.<br />

She will be working on our fashion book and perhaps a few other projects from afar, so she isn't done with us yet. If you're lucky, you might catch her at the museum over the next few weeks, overseeing the clothing shoots or going for a few last rides in some museum cars.<br />

Doctor Louis Alphonse Paré had joined the Northwest Mounted Police in 1887 and was assigned to treat members of the NWMP in the Yukon in 1898. He handled many cases of typhoid and scurvy, and amputated more than a few frozen limbs. Fitz Horrigan was a NWMP Inspector. The CDO they rode in had probably been shipped to Skagway, Alaska, and then transported over the White Pass & Yukon Railway to Whitehorse.</div>

being “the first” in Dawson City, located more than 300 miles north of
Whitehorse. The actual first ones appear to be two, 12-passenger surreys of unknown
make that arrived in 1901. Two references I found, however, state that an
Oldsmobile was Dawson’s first motorcar. According to the March 19, 1904 issue
of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Automobile</i>, “The first
automobile to reach Dawson City, Alaska, was a regular stock Oldsmobile without
special equipment. Ferdinand de Journal of San Francisco drove the little car
over the rough trail. He had great difficulty obtaining fuel, gasoline costing
about $10 a gallon, which, however, is not such an appalling figure when it is
considered that it costs about $15 a day to feed a horse on the same journey.”<o:p></o:p></div>

seriously</span> doubt that de Journal drove the automobile to Dawson. A
Locomobile driven by George Potter in 1912 is well documented as being the first
to finally conquer the trail between Whitehorse and Dawson. More than likely de
Journal shipped his CDO down the Yukon River to Dawson from Whitehorse, or up
the Yukon River from St. Michael on the west coast of Alaska.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
An article published in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New
York Times</i> on December 15, 1907, also referred to an Oldsmobile runabout—most
likely de Journal’s—as being the first in Dawson City two years prior. Sadly, it
did not fare well in the far north. “After a somewhat checkered career it met
its fate one day at a narrow turn of the road, when a big six-horse stage,
going in the opposite direction, appeared around the bend. There was only room
for one vehicle. The road was bounded by a steep cliff on one side and an
embankment of the other. The little auto ran out as far as it could toward the
bank, the two occupants climbed down the declivity, while one of the leaders on
the stage, frightened at the noise of the engine tried to turn around. The
veteran driver swung his long whip over the mettlesome horse, and as the team
straightened out in a lively gallop, one of the heavy wheels of the mountain
stage hit the little motor car square in the centre, crunching it as easily as
a stack of cards.”</div>

It is always rewarding to discover articles about the first
automobiles in the Far North (even if the story has an unhappy ending), and more
so to find photos to match. Most of the first autos shipped to Alaska and the
Yukon were big touring cars, so I was surprised to learn about these CDOs. It
sure must have been easier to push one through the mud than a big Pope-Toledo
or Thomas Flyer!<o:p></o:p><br />

While searching for information about the first motorcycles in Alaska, I came across an interesting ad in Juneau's <i>Alaska Daily Dispatch</i> newspaper. Dated June 20, 1912, the ad was for a "Minneapolis Tri-Car Delivery Van." Its dealer, William Merchant, was the agent for Pierce and Indian motorcycles. He was also the agent for Ford, Overland, and Garford automobiles.<br />
<br />

wheels. Joe Michaelson designed the Minneapolis motorcycle engine, and he and brothers Jack, Walter, and Anton developed its sister motorcycle, the Michaelson.<br />

Walter is credited with designing the Michaelson Tri-Car, as it was more commonly known. An excellent description of its engine, transmission, and starter can be found <a href="http://www.the-rocketman.com/michaelson_cycle.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">here</span></b></a>. It was advertised as being cheaper, lighter, and easier to maintain than an automobile or horse-and-wagon.<br />
<br />
It appears that Juneau resident Harry Raymond bought the “one-lunger” Tri-Car, which was well known for its
noisy cough. “When it started up the street the sourdoughs took to the hills
for the noise it emitted was like nothing ever heard before in Alaska,” according to one reporter. “Mothers
used to scare their children by even mentioning the ‘terrible monster’.”<br />
<br />
The
Tri-Car’s next owner used it to deliver ice, “and with age its explosive
qualities in the matter of sound only increased.” It must have been quite a spectacle in Juneau!<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Tri-Car will be featured in the museum's soon-to-be-published book, "Extreme Motoring: Alaska's First Automobiles and Their Dauntless Drivers."</span></i><br />

McKinley National Park. We have it in the carpentry shop at the Fountainhead Development corporate office in south Fairbanks, rather than at our shop in the museum. Below are some comparison photos taken on January 7 and March 29.<br />

Brad recently drilled out all the corroded screws from the multiple door pieces and window frames. Pete has been busy building a new floor and a framework to support the sides and top. He is a MASTER at woodworking, and it's been impressive to watch his progress.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Most of the sheet metal was in good enough shape to reuse, which is remarkable considering that the coach was parked outside unprotected for many decades. With the exception of the wood and a new top, most of the the bus will remain original. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We have finish trim parts on order and the top material is en route, so we are pretty much on schedule to have the coach to display at the McKinley Chalet Resort this summer. </div>

Many thanks to Pete for his great work!</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBJcnE4nEjWY_2siAhwEOoILqUuXr8zPkFaUYMfr7ECnkVF0P8GNnewgVtZa0jptBAXUIQdjkqj-zk3oFrXexKajsY3hbKg0E9Ei5HUy9SENec4BWw6m5vXdPjYJBMWUqZ3v2eGO2xOLM/s1600/WillyGrant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBJcnE4nEjWY_2siAhwEOoILqUuXr8zPkFaUYMfr7ECnkVF0P8GNnewgVtZa0jptBAXUIQdjkqj-zk3oFrXexKajsY3hbKg0E9Ei5HUy9SENec4BWw6m5vXdPjYJBMWUqZ3v2eGO2xOLM/s1600/WillyGrant.jpg" height="218" width="320" /></a>One of the things I noticed when I first climbed into the driver's seat of an antique car was that I didn't need to move the seat so I could reach the pedals. That was a good thing, since the seats in early cars weren't adjustable. It was not a good thing if you were tall, which in the early 1900s seemed to be anything over 5'8" or so. The steering columns and wheels were also fixed in place. Until collapsable steering columns became available in the late 1960s, drivers were at risk of being impaled on the column in a crash.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BFQyBKEhErNswU3-4XW_0fxj8jivDEf1AxaQIEXi6gXHA3uYspO3V4hbdYnTfEjWH9SLfr-db3YRHqyWMxMlbs5khrA-7gMfg_axaxE6Bxutz3XcYrSOQtdlUyvodPmhLNe7VbN34fw/s1600/FatManWheel1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6BFQyBKEhErNswU3-4XW_0fxj8jivDEf1AxaQIEXi6gXHA3uYspO3V4hbdYnTfEjWH9SLfr-db3YRHqyWMxMlbs5khrA-7gMfg_axaxE6Bxutz3XcYrSOQtdlUyvodPmhLNe7VbN34fw/s1600/FatManWheel1.jpg" height="272" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The rigid steering wheel also posed problems, not just for people "of goodly proportions," but really for anyone entering or exiting the driver's seat because of the wheel's large size. Steering wheels designed to solve the latter issue became a popular aftermarket option in the 1910s. Nicknamed "fat man wheels," they could be rotated out of the way by pressing on a lever. Depending on the manufacturer, the wheel either tilted up or to the right. To read about some examples, check out this <a href="http://www.hemmings.com/hmn/stories/2014/11/01/hmn_feature16.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">article</span></b></a> from Hemmings Motor News.<br />

We recently received a donation of a Spencer fat man wheel, which Willy is demonstrating here. In the early 1920s, the Spencer Lock Tilting Steering Wheel was made to fit on Ford, Dodge, Overland, Maxwell, Star, Gray, and Chevrolet cars. The "spiders" (spokes) were "attractively designed die cast aluminum, highly polished."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nvvyJ_dcEjcQvVCQKkAngtjoiBRpR-w9B_cVGc25d-OuAnrIXiycT2MaZDadTQhPNMvf4Xt9ROmj_bFw0RaDbi5zlEXCcwLvoCV-MqsYwP6QQeinZSunWXnskmMOcHxhtCM3eawrCnk/s1600/FatManWheel4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nvvyJ_dcEjcQvVCQKkAngtjoiBRpR-w9B_cVGc25d-OuAnrIXiycT2MaZDadTQhPNMvf4Xt9ROmj_bFw0RaDbi5zlEXCcwLvoCV-MqsYwP6QQeinZSunWXnskmMOcHxhtCM3eawrCnk/s1600/FatManWheel4.jpg" height="302" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
The Spencer steering wheel also featured a lock and key. When locked, the steering wheel spun but would not turn the car's wheels. It could be locked when the wheel was in either the down or tilted positions. The Spencer Manufacturing Company boasted that this theft-prevention feature would pay for the steering wheel by reducing an owner's insurance rate. Printed in the wheel's center is the slogan "It Locks. It Tilts." We hope to put this wheel on display this summer.<br />

I recently took a quick trip to the Las Vegas area to scope out a few vehicles. After grabbing a rental car at the Vegas airport I headed for Sun City, Arizona, to check out this 1931 Buick Series 90 roadster.<br />
<br />
You can see that it's a very nice car. I looked it over thoroughly and took it for a drive around the area. The detail throughout looks correct and very nicely done, and the car would be a nice addition to anyone's collection. We decided it wasn't a perfect fit for our museum, so watch for it to show up in a future auction.<br />
<br />
While in Sun City, I had the opportunity to meet a few other collectors and see their toys. I had a good time, but my trip was too rushed. This area has a lot of other automotive treasures that I would like to see when I have more time in the future. Maybe then my camera battery will not fail me, like the darn thing did on this trip.<br />
<br />

I had never heard of <a href="http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/kats-report/2014/jun/15/jim-rogers-passion-classic-cars-never-idled/?utm_source=mostpopular&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=mostRead" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Jim Rogers</b></span></a> and his collection of more than 230 cars. His museum in Las Vegas was not open to the general public, but he did allow events to be held there.<br />
<br />
The collection's 1926 REO Speedwagon bus was of interest to us, as we would love to transport visitors around <a href="http://www.fountainheadhotels.com/wedgewood-resort/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Wedgewood Resort</b></span></a> in a neat old bus or coach during the summer. The REO was a nice, older restoration that had deteriorated over the last 25 years or so. Much of the exterior had suffered from the dry climate, which caused the wood to crack and delaminate. The bus would require major wood work and a new paint job to make it presentable for a few more years.<br />

It doesn't appear the bus windows were made of safety glass, so that's something else we would have had to replace to make it a passenger vehicle.<br />

The engine compartment looked very tired, as if nothing had run for a least 25 years. The water pump was about half made up of JB Weld to seal the corrosion of the housing and tubing. I had no way to know if anything worked, or when the engine had last run. None of the cars at the auction were started, only parked with photos displayed on a screen. The REO sold for more than twice what I thought it was worth for its condition, and hopefully its new owner will give it the TLC it needs. Someday we will find the right bus for our use.<br />

<br />
A few weeks ago I wrote about my recent visit to the <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2015/02/on-road-lemay-family-collection.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>LeMay Family Collection</b></span></a> in Tacoma, Washington. From there I traveled to its sister museum next to the Tacoma Dome: the <a href="http://www.lemaymuseum.org/page.php?id=64" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">LeMay- America's Car Museum</span></b></a> (ACM). The two museums are very different but have one major thing in common. That is, a LOT of vehicles to see.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBrtencAjCUPyKMrkEPm31PoecYhL96DxVyW51YuK_23WAFDi5GiFlaMJTzzRJ3C2WoZYSxUgi9EREuxWfZYOktlaHxgD7hXYsv5jFqwq22sbsTi3vZ2YqiHOujKzo7ZubSHAAeSZcgbU/s1600/FordTrucks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBrtencAjCUPyKMrkEPm31PoecYhL96DxVyW51YuK_23WAFDi5GiFlaMJTzzRJ3C2WoZYSxUgi9EREuxWfZYOktlaHxgD7hXYsv5jFqwq22sbsTi3vZ2YqiHOujKzo7ZubSHAAeSZcgbU/s1600/FordTrucks.jpg" height="179" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a>Many of the cars at the ACM are from Harold LeMay's estate. Others are from private collections. The building itself is huge (165,000 square feet) and there are four floors to cover. The upstairs gallery is very spacious, presently featuring a display of Ford F-Series trucks and some beautiful antiques and classics from Harold LeMay's collection. From there I followed a ramp lined with an interesting exhibit on Custom Coachwork down to the first lower level. Each of the lower floors features autos parked in rows (in no discernible order), exhibits, and interactive rooms such as a children's play area, slot car track, and racing simulators.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaENPlikXvS64S0IfePrau_qS6D_w4ZgnomTEQEJ_vMfmk6NwrYnVJjvhcTdLLBaonY6egMxVEFVhwMiKCZEYBu6afOsUnO4ZEIw4IjnQUliKTr-M07BBHLsFHQAHUP1cZHKoRn_elsGg/s1600/CarGarage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaENPlikXvS64S0IfePrau_qS6D_w4ZgnomTEQEJ_vMfmk6NwrYnVJjvhcTdLLBaonY6egMxVEFVhwMiKCZEYBu6afOsUnO4ZEIw4IjnQUliKTr-M07BBHLsFHQAHUP1cZHKoRn_elsGg/s1600/CarGarage.jpg" height="179" width="320" /></a>The cars in the centers of the lower floors had some real jewels hidden in the rows. Because they were parked nose out in between pillars, I couldn't get good photos of them. Some lacked signs or just had a laminated identification label that was hard to read if the light was reflecting off it. A few had more informative signs. As someone who writes the signs for our museum, I can't imagine the work involved to do so for 350 vehicles, but do hope they can eventually display more information about the vehicles. Fortunately, the ACM has a lot of helpful docents on hand to answer questions, just as did the LeMay Family Collection.<br />

<br />
Each of the two ramps between the floors was lined with informative exhibits, including British Invasion, Route 66, and Alternate Propulsion. The latter included steam and electric cars (like the 1912 Standard Open Tourer "Electrique" at right), plus a solar-powered racer. I'm just surprised the Flintstones car wasn't parked in this section!<br />

One could easily spend all day at the ACM reading the exhibits, studying the vehicles, and taking a break to play, or eat in the cafe. It was a bit of overload for me to try to take in both it at the LeMay Family Collection in one day. Regardless, I recommend that you do see both museums if you visit the Seattle-Tacoma area, not just the ACM. Each offers a completely different visitor experience. I loved the history of the Marymount facility that houses the LeMay Family Collection, and wandering through the buildings there was like I was on a fun, barn-find expedition through Harold LeMay's estate. The vast upper level of the ACM building made me feel as if I was in a very fancy, oversized showroom. As Eric LeMay said to me, it's like comparing a Nordstrom store to Sears. Both would make good anchor stores in a mall. One is all shiny and upscale, while the other is less formal but just as fun.<br />
<br />
Be prepared to pay $5 to park at the ACM and a fee to try out a racing simulator or the slot cars. They offer admission discounts for AAA members and State Farm policy holders.<br />

As U.S. cities became linked by railroads in the early 1900s, trains became the primary conveyance for overland, long-distance transportation. Hotels and resorts that sprung up along the routes to serve rail travelers used horse-drawn wagons to carry customers and their luggage to and from the railroad depots. These were known as hackneys, or depot hacks.<br />

Automobiles soon replaced wagons at the hotels, starting with surrey-type rigs like the Rapid shown above. Later, hotel owners purchased a chassis from a manufacturer such as Buick or Ford, and had a custom hack body made by a coachbuilder.<br />
<br />
The term “station wagon” developed after depots started being referred to as railroad stations around 1910. The Ford Model T was perfect for converting into a station wagon (among other things). It was called a hack if the rear seats were forward-facing, and a jitney if the benches faced each other.<br />
<br />
The museum's depot hack was built by Dick Figge of Ohio, who took a standard, 1911 Model T chassis and a Model A crankshaft and built a C-cab body from birch and cherry wood. The C-cab term derives from the unique shape of the cab and roof.<br />

It draws a lot of attention when we take it to parades, shows, and events like the Golden Days kick-off. Willy was once pulled over while driving the depot hack through downtown Fairbanks. Apparently the policeman just wanted to know what Willy was driving, and if he could take his photo with it. We certainly weren't speeding!<br />
<br />
The body on our 1917 Ford Model T Snow Flyer is also a hack, this one made from ash. This Sunday, March 8, we will be giving rides in the Snow Flyer to kids starting at 12:30 p.m. Please drop by!<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently traveled to Seattle, Washington, for a vacation and decided to spend
a day visiting the two LeMay museums in Tacoma. I started off at the
</span><a href="http://www.lemaymarymount.org/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>LeMay Family Collection</b></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> at Marymount, which is less well known than the newer and
flashier LeMay – America’s Car Museum next to the Tacoma Dome.</span><br />

It doesn't appear that there was a particular theme to his collecting--if it was an old vehicle, he wanted it! That is reflected at Marymount. The numerous cars seem to be arranged rather randomly, and many lack signs or much information about them. Still, it is incredible collection to see, and this history of the Marymount facility is as interesting as the cars. I really enjoyed my visit.</div>

The original buildings were all part of the Marymount Military Academy run by the Sisters of St. Dominica from 1923-1975. Eric LeMay, one of Harold’s grandsons, gave me a behind-the-scenes tour of the former housing complex, chapel, visiting priest’s quarters, and miscellaneous collections that aren't open to the public (though the chapel and some rooms are rented out for events). The cars are displayed and stored in the old gymnasium, auditorium, swimming pool, indoor rifle range, shower room, and several newer storage buildings. Expect a surprise each time you round a corner into another room.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had been told I would see warehouses filled </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">with cars, many fork lifted onto shelves, and parked so tightly that it was hard to fully appreciate them. The cars were indeed packed into the warehouses, but it was still fun to cruise the rows of trucks and automobiles looking for favorites. It's amazing how many marques and styles you will find. There is more elbow room in the main Red Building, and the gymnasium is quite spacious. I had to chuckle at the cars parked up in the bleachers!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You won't learn a lot about automobile history at this museum by reading signs, but they have excellent docents to fill in the blanks. And you will be blown away with the sheer number and variety of cars and how their styles changed over time. There are some </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">very </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">nice and rare vintage vehicles in the collection--Harold LeMay had a good eye and his vehicles here are very well preserved. I especially loved seeing trucks that I had never heard of before, and how could I not love the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">stiletto art car? Sweet Tucker, too. There's something for everyone here, including some interesting memorabilia and even a few vintage fashions.</span><br />

So, I've spent the winter writing a book with the same title, which we hope to have printed by July of 2015. Local author, journalist, and historian Dermot Cole has agreed to edit it.<br />
<br />

Yet our pioneering motorists certainly deserve recognition for the important role they played in Alaska's transportation history and improving life in the Last Frontier.<br />
<br />

I am also including sections about Alaska's early motorcycles, buses, trucks, snow machines, "boat cars," and automobile racing. The vehicles are interesting, but the pioneering motorists behind the wheels are the heart of the stories. Their adventures, innovations, and trials were quite remarkable, and in some cases, very entertaining.<br />

I was surprised at how much contradictory information I found among newspaper articles and interviews. For example, multiple cars were credited as being the first to arrive in several towns, including Fairbanks, Juneau, Skagway, and Dawson. Some newspapers contradicted what they had written just months earlier. Sorting through these mysteries was both maddening and a fun challenge.<br />
<br />
I have been able to find photographs of most of Alaska's first automobiles, and will include these and many other wonderful photos in the book. I am very grateful to the various archives and people who have made their photo collections available to me. I am also grateful to museum owner Tim Cerny for investing in this publication. We look forward to sharing it with you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323236309407113751.post-3671164058257749262015-02-11T05:30:00.000-09:002015-03-30T15:14:49.785-08:00In the Shop: 1934 Offenhauser Engine - Update<i>by Derik Price</i><br />

Hard to believe it's been over a year since our last <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2014/01/in-shop-1934-offenhouser-midget-racer.html" target="_blank">In the Shop update</a> on this project. Last summer we were focused on our <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2014/04/in-shop-building-replica-race-car.html" target="_blank">Model T Race Car project</a> and so the little midget racer didn't get much attention. But we're back on it now and starting to reassemble the engine. The first thing you'll notice (inside) this engine is that it has had a full, exuberant racing life. :-)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNWOWu7_0J9g67sozHjqpQ7BPYiQuoXDA4w4Z-Q-WnnX60eYgZp_Ji-j5v8_VBl3wd8GKkelz0z_GJcYVI2_G9RmdB2FslT6yfveGosVe25AlodXExAH-ZA9VoHhRTdtoUOE-kgUSjvY/s1600/FullSizeRender+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNWOWu7_0J9g67sozHjqpQ7BPYiQuoXDA4w4Z-Q-WnnX60eYgZp_Ji-j5v8_VBl3wd8GKkelz0z_GJcYVI2_G9RmdB2FslT6yfveGosVe25AlodXExAH-ZA9VoHhRTdtoUOE-kgUSjvY/s1600/FullSizeRender+15.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a>We have found a few problems which probably retired this engine from racing. Namely a nasty crack near the spark plug hole in one cylinder, and another crack closer to the water jacket. The front bearing and seal are slightly loose as well. So far, these issues don't appear bad enough to do any damage while running the engine for short periods of time--which shouldn't hinder our immediate goal of getting it operational. But, we'll have to decide whether or not we want to tackle a restoration/rebuild to get much more than that out of it.<br />
<br />

With our <i>110 OFFY Overhaul Manual</i> written by Harry Stryker Sr. in hand, we'll be giving them a call, and hoping they have good news for us. In the event the prognosis isn't promising, we'll keep on with the goal of just getting this wonderful piece of history back to running condition.<br />
<br />

But since I don't get to the museum as often as I'd like, it has given me the chance to see the inner workings of this amazing piece of technology. It's a real treat to experience the craftsmanship and design of these engines. But to also get the chance to see the inner workings and how it was built is simply a privilege. Hopefully, this summer, we'll even get to hear it roar to life once more. And that part is always worth the wait....<br />
<br />
The Miller/Offenhauser/Goossen story is a wonderful chapter in American race car history. There are dozens of books written about the trio, their engines, designs and the racing legend they created.<br />

Cyclecars were narrow, lightweight automobiles powered by engines no bigger than 71 cubic inches. They essentially were little more than a motorcycle with four wheels and seating for two. Cyclecars had fewer features than typical autos of the day, but served as very inexpensive and efficient alternatives. The Woods Mobilette sold for $380; optional equipment included speedometer ($11), windshield ($15), top ($15) and, according to at least one source, brakes ($10). The 12-hp, four-cylinder engine could power the little car to a top speed of 35 mph. Its reported fuel economy of 35-40 mpg would be the envy of many of today’s drivers, although its low clearance and narrow tread restricted it to city driving. <br />

In early 1914, several magazines and newspapers reported that the Milwaukee agents for the Imp Cyclecar Manufacturing Company had received an order for ten cyclecars from someone in Nome. Made in Auburn, Indiana, the belt-driven Imp was powered by a 15-hp air-cooled motor and weighed only 600 lbs.<br />

The Imp had no axles; instead, the wheels were mounted on the ends of transverse springs. The ten Imps ordered for Nome were to be outfitted with runners in front and spiked rear wheels for winter use. “The car is so light it is expected to negotiate the crust of the snow very successfully,” reported the <i>Santa Cruz Evening News</i>. Another article claimed the Imps would run “…in the dog sledge tracks and the trails which predominate, and Alaska welcomes the small cars for that country.”<br />
<br />
It is not known if the Imps were used successfully, or if they even made the journey to Nome. I have found no mention of them in any Nome newspapers or other sources. If the Imps were shipped to Alaska, the fragile, high-maintenance machines probably fell apart after a few runs on Nome's rough roads, just as the Imp Cyclecar Company did by the end of 1914.<br />
<br />
Only a handful of Imps survive today. Perhaps there is a graveyard outside of Nome containing the remains of some, but I have my doubts.<br />

My wife, Wilma, and I arrived on Saturday afternoon after traveling all night. Facing a two-hour time adjustment, we went to bed early so we wouldn't be too groggy the next day.<br />
<br />

They have a great setting for a show--a little small, but very friendly and pleasant. We met several people there, including Dennis Wise, the founder of Fountainhead Development. Dennis was showing his 1937 Packard, which ended up winning third in class in the American Open Classic group. This was the first time Dennis had entered a car in a Concours d'Elegance, and he was delighted with his award.<br />
<br />
We got to meet novelist Clive Cussler, who was at the Concours with his 1918 Pierce-Arrow. We really enjoyed visiting with him and his wife.<br />

While there I got a chance to drive our air-cooled, single-cylinder 1902 Knox runabout. It will be a great little car to tour in around Fairbanks when it gets here. The Knox is ready to ship, but we'll have to wait for warmer weather before we can put it on a truck to Alaska. I spent Tuesday in Allen's shop working on our American Underslung projects, but will leave that for another blog post.<br />
<br />
We headed back to Arizona on Wednesday morning so we could take in the Scottsdale auctions. First up was Bonham's. The only car that interested us was a nice 1934 Lincoln KB Victoria. It went for $410,000, which I thought was a little high for that particular car. There weren't any early brass cars in the auctions, so we didn't buy anything new for the museum. But, we got a chance to visit with a lot of folks and see some really great cars. I still have trouble, though, knowing that someone bid $155,000 for a 1960 Fiat Jolly!<br />

Unless you are an antique car aficionado, when visiting Alaska an
automobile museum is probably not high on your to-do list. If so, you are
missing out on seeing some treasures at the
Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. Without fail, visitors are astonished when they see our collection of beautiful automobiles and antique fashions here in Fairbanks, a region not known for its automotive history or vintage haute
couture.</div>

When we started planning the museum we knew that a
warehouse full of old cars would have limited appeal. So, we filled our custom-built facility with an eye-popping assortment of Victorian and Edwardian finery,
flapper dresses, Art Deco gowns, and some of the most visually stunning
automobiles ever to grace America’s roads in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century.
Woven among the vehicles and 100+ fashions are entertaining photographs,
videos, and exhibits showcasing Alaska’s wild automotive history.<br />

Museum owner Tim Cerny and his wife, Barbara, acquired the museum’s extensive assortment of cars and fashions from private
collections and auction houses throughout North America. In December they attended the "Passion for <span style="font-family: inherit;">Fashion" event with <b><a href="http://kerrytaylorauctions.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Kerry Taylor Auctions</span></a> </b>and purchased four interesting pieces for the museum. These include a circa 1929 tiered bugle-beaded evening gown attributed to French designer Jeanne Lanvin, and a circa 1925-28 Bradley's brocaded opera coat. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The rare and early Jeanne Lanvin orientalist evening coat now in our care was reportedly exhibited in the French Pavilion of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. The other piece we acquired at the auction is a stunning, 1920s gold lam<o:p></o:p>é evening jacket attributed to Parisian designer Margaine Lacroix. It is covered with beaded and sequined oriental figures, and like the Lanvin evening coat, is an interesting example of Western fashion inspired by Asian and Middle-Eastern cultures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It will be several weeks before these fashions are cataloged and placed on exhibit.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We finally started working on the ca. 1924 Fageol safety coach that belonged to the Mt. McKinley Tourist and Transportation Company. This once-upscale coach carried tourists on sight-seeing excursions in what is now Denali National Park. After the Park ended MMTTC's concession, the Fageol was brought to Fairbanks and parked outside where it set deteriorating for over seven decades. You can read more about it </span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-fageol-safety-coach-is-rescued.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">here</span></a></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last fall, we rescued what's left of the Fageol and moved it into the carpentry shop at Fountainhead Development. Last week Brad, Pete, and I began the task of pulling off all the remains of the body to evaluate what was left. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">We found very few surprises. Most of the wood was pretty well rotted away, but the aluminum sheeting was still in decent condition. The roof is long gone.</span><br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We don't plan to restore the coach to its former glory. Instead, we are going to turn it into a historical exhibit that will be displayed outside the <a href="http://www.westmarkhotels.com/destinations/denali-hotel/" target="_blank">McKinley Chalet Resort.</a> The Chalet is situated near the entrance to Denali National Park, and it will be nice to return this artifact to its original "territory."</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
The Fageol's interior and mechanical components will be left as is for now, but we will restore/rebuild the side panels and top. Stay tuned for progress reports.</div>

We decided to bring our 1914 Henderson out of deep storage with a goal of getting it running, and then assess it for restoration or refurbishment. Here's a picture of it when it arrived in Fairbanks in 2008. You may remember the background on the Henderson from our post last summer - <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-dose-of-hendersons.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-dose-of-hendersons.html</span></a><br />

I visited the shop last week to get an overview of how it looks and what will be be required to bring it back to life. We started by soaking each cylinder in mystery oil and hand cranking the engine to make sure it rotates freely. It turned over fine, so the crew started taking turns hand cranking the engine to test the compression on each cylinder. Each one tested about 50# - woo-hoo!<br />
<br />

We also figured out how to turn off the engine once we eventually get it started. This nice little (metal) rod with what looks like a bolt through a thread spindle on the end is what you pull to disconnect generator. We'll draw straws to see who has to grab that thing to shut it off once we get it running. :-) <br />

A lot of work goes into checking everything out before we'll actually try to start the engine. But hopefully, if there are no big surprises, over the next few weeks we'll get to fire it up! I am taking video of our progress and toward summer will put together a YouTube video on the project. So stay tuned!<br />

This was another exciting and rewarding year for the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. We received some prestigious awards, celebrated our 5th anniversary, and retained our rating as the #1 Fairbanks visitor attraction on <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60826-d1465372-Reviews-Fountainhead_Antique_Auto_Museum-Fairbanks_Alaska.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">TripAdvisor</span></a>. In February we were awarded the AACA Plaque for Outstanding Achievement in the Preservation of Automotive History by the Antique Automobile Association of America. We are honored that the AACA recognized not just our commitment to preserve and exhibit antique vehicles, but also the effort we have dedicated to researching, archiving, and sharing automotive history--including through this blog.<br />
<br />
Other notable highlights from 2014 include:<br />
<ul>
<li>We updated our display of large-format photographs featuring scenes from Alaska's early motoring days and produced a printed guide to the museum's photo exhibit.</li>
</ul>
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6clqPzyNd5tdW2xckVIDz2sGQfpyOh5uSm79dyErKDSK6V_7h3v-qIXE8Qsxheky4HMShwNsinzS-5g_aTK5brqD61ZwU88qmoj7jcGqd-nYaRKeU-aPpVi-zdkJcXKn_NM3B0h66SDM/s1600/FirstCars.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6clqPzyNd5tdW2xckVIDz2sGQfpyOh5uSm79dyErKDSK6V_7h3v-qIXE8Qsxheky4HMShwNsinzS-5g_aTK5brqD61ZwU88qmoj7jcGqd-nYaRKeU-aPpVi-zdkJcXKn_NM3B0h66SDM/s1600/FirstCars.jpeg" width="200" /></span></a>
<li>We opened a new exhibit titled <i><b>Extreme Motoring: Alaska's First Automobiles and Their Daring Drivers</b></i>. This display about the first autos in the Territory and the hardships faced by their drivers was featured in Alaska Air Magazine, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Museums Alaska newsletter, ClassicCars.com, PrincessLodges.com, and several television and radio channels.</li>
</ul>

<li>Due to high interest and positive feedback, we continued our "Beauty and the Bird" feathered hat exhibit. We also added several new fashion displays to the galleries.</li>
</ul>
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxbocaG_gqNagmkLRp44UtCnKD31KDgnSf4DQ3wZPu8CVRrdLNpPTdt6Zy1O7LNOV1ShMrYWGRN9Glp9bIHGvddpoWblMW9m4SU3gkmpTc9MMD0p8NYCIkK5Y-KHdHl3sM7Gfgv52-ac/s1600/FranklinOut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxbocaG_gqNagmkLRp44UtCnKD31KDgnSf4DQ3wZPu8CVRrdLNpPTdt6Zy1O7LNOV1ShMrYWGRN9Glp9bIHGvddpoWblMW9m4SU3gkmpTc9MMD0p8NYCIkK5Y-KHdHl3sM7Gfgv52-ac/s1600/FranklinOut.jpg" width="200" /></span></a>
<li>In June we hosted the 3rd biennial Alaska Midnight Sun Cruise-In at Wedgewood Resort. Despite rainy weather, we had excellent participation from car owners from around the state, a dry cruise to the Salmon Bake, and a good audience turnout for the car show before the skies opened that afternoon.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Several new acquisitions were added to our collection, including a 1905 Franklin and 1910 Kelsey. We stabilized our 1915 Mack truck and put it on display outside the museum. Our docents constructed a replica of the first car to win an organized race in Alaska, a Ford Model T racer.</li>
</ul>

<li>Record rainfall in Fairbanks prevented us from exercising many of the museum cars, but we did manage to get several out on the road, even during December. We showed our 1911 Ford Model T depot hack and 1932 Chrysler at the annual Vernon L. Nash Antique Car Club of Alaska show and drove our 1919 Pierce-Arrow in the annual Golden Days Parade.</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">©<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.fountainheadmuseum.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum</span></a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This photo was taken in Chitina, Alaska, on September 11, 1914. Robert Sheldon is standing on the far right. Next to him is Charles E. Bunnell, who had recently been appointed U.S. District Judge of the 4th Division by President Woodrow Wilson.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Bunnell had hired Sheldon to drive him north from Valdez to Fairbanks so he could campaign for Alaska's Territorial delegate seat in Congress.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Notice that the car 's body has been removed, and that two wooden chairs have taken the place of the regular seat. Sheldon was concerned that they wouldn’t be able to make it to Fairbanks because of deep mud, so to lighten the load he removed the car’s body and seats, and then strapped two barroom
chairs to the chassis. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
“I’ve never sat in a barroom chair
before,” growled the judge, “but I suppose there’s always a first time.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />By the time they reached Paxson, Sheldon and Bunnell had endured two days and nights of steady rain. Five inches of snow greeted them in Isabel Pass. In places the mud was so deep that they had to be pulled through by a team of horses. They didn't arrive in Fairbanks until the evening of September 17. Bunnell lost the election to Judge James Wickersham, but later served as the first president of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines (now the University of Alaska). While there he played a pivotal role in bringing Sheldon's <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2010/03/alaskas-most-treasured-car.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">homemade runabout</span></a> to the University's museum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Imagine riding on a wooden chair in an open car--for seven days in crummy weather! The <i>Fairbanks Daily News-Miner</i> wrote this about Sheldon's and Bunnell's drive:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Big Trail Has No Terrors for The Auto Driver and His Little Ford. It's Stripped for Action.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weather may storm and threaten, rain and snow, all of which it did this trip. Mud may get axle deep, bridges may break down, creeks may overflow their banks, all of which was true this time. But Sheldon seems to beat the game any way it is played. He dismantled his machine before leaving Chitina, saving several hundred pounds of weight, and all roads have to give way to him.</span></div>

The replica we've been building of Bobby Sheldon's first race car is almost finished, and the crew that has been working on it took it out yesterday for a spin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the parts that we used to build this replica were ones I gathered from around the state, so all the parts are of Alaska origin. A good portion came from the Nome area. Nome had a Ford dealer in the early days, and had lots of unsold new parts as well as a large assortment of used items. </span></div>

George always kept a good inventory of what and where the items originated. He would love to talk about them but would never sell any! Prior to his passing, though, he held an auction and a good amount of his Ford parts were sold to Bruce Campbell in Anchorage. Bruce passed all his collection of Model T parts on to me, and this is where most of the pieces came from for this project. We are grateful that George Clayton collected and saved these parts, and also thank Bruce for allowing me to be able to keep them in circulation to help others with their projects. If you need any T parts, let me know.<br />

We still need a hood from a Model T to complete the replica, so if you have an old “rough” one, please get in touch with me.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to the gang of docents that have been involved in the building of the replica from old and sometimes rusty pieces that I hauled in to the museum. Watch for this fun car driving around Wedgewood Resort this summer.<br />

On December 9 from 5-7 pm we'll be hosting a book-signing with Sandy Jamieson and Nancy DeWitt, illustrator and author of our new <i>Alaska's Automobile Pioneer: Ride Along With Bobby Sheldon Coloring Book</i>. We're very excited about its release, which features 18 whimsical illustrations and text highlighting Bobby's inventions and adventures in the Last Frontier. Even adults will want to color some pages! The book is a bargain at $5.95. If you can't make it into the museum on a Sunday, the books are available 24/7 at the Wedgewood Resort front desk.<br />

I just returned from a quick trip to Skagway, where Bobby Sheldon built Alaska's first automobile and Martin Itjen operated his historic <a href="http://fountainheadauto.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-skagway-street-cars.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">street car tour business</span></a>. <br />
<br />
Skagway is a quaint little town that sits on the water at the head of Taiya Inlet. Getting there from Fairbanks isn't easy. One either drives 1.5 days, passing through Canada en route, or flies to Juneau and then hops onto a ferry or small plane for a ride north up Lynn Canal. I opted for the latter.<br />
<br />
I have to say that upon arriving in Skagway via Seaplanes Alaska, I have not been that cold in a good many years. It was 27 F with a 35 mph wind blowing from the northeast, right down the streets like a wind tunnel. It felt like I was in Prudhoe Bay!<br />

To warm up, I went and examined the Martin Itjen "Street Car #1" for the National Park Service. The bus has a lot of history and character about it, and is in need of some work to preserve it for the long-term.<br />
<br />
The street car is an interesting blend of parts. It sits on a 1908 Packard chassis, and the rear part of the body is from a horse-drawn omnibus. The current engine is a 1919 Dodge 4-cylinder with a 3-speed transmission coupled to the Packard differential. A lot of additions were made to this unique vehicle, which I will write about in a future post.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
It would be nice to know the history of the Packard that Itjen used in this street car. We would also love to know the history of the Veerac truck (at right) that he used in an earlier rendition of Street Car #1, which also carried the omnibus body.<br />
<br />
Skagway is a neat place to visit if you have not been there, but I would recommend that you go during the summer and avoid that nasty wind.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The 1906 Great Arrow shown above was the first known Pierce-Arrow in Alaska and the fifth automobile in Fairbanks, arriving on the steamer </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Tanana</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">
on September 6, 1909. Dave Coutemanche, owner of the Comet Barber Shop, used it
for a passenger stage between Fairbanks and Ester until one fateful day in
November of 1910.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Courtemanche Auto Wrecked By A Fire” proclaimed the headline in
the <i>Fairbanks Daily News-Miner</i>.
“Because of a leaking gasoline tube, one of the few autos in the camp, the
Pierce Arrow car of Dave Courtemanche is now a burned and twisted wreck, the
auto having caught fire…and burned so fiercely that it was almost impossible to
extinguish the flames." The leaking gasoline spread the fire onto the roadway for several meters around the burning car. "An attempt was made to pull the auto out of the burning pool but that proved useless as a new pool of fire was quickly formed.”</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fortunately, the Great Arrow was not a complete loss, and someone performed some major repairs on it after the fire. </span>By the time <span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles W. Joynt purchased it in March of 1914, it only needed some minor work to make it operational. Joynt, who was manager of the Tanana Valley
Railroad, intended to use the automobile to transport passengers between
Gilmore (located several miles north of Fox on what is now the Steese Highway)
and Summit Roadhouse. Passengers could ride the train or
electric rail car between Fairbanks and Gilmore, but from Gilmore the railroad
turned west and north to Olnes, passing through the site of today’s Hilltop
Café on the Elliot Highway.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The Great Arrow provided quick access to and from the Summit Roadhouse, which was located to the east on Cleary Summit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Joynt's venture must not have done well, for he sold the Great Arrow to Hosea Ross (likely the driver pictured above) the following year. While carrying passengers between
Fairbanks and Big Delta, the car became hopelessly stranded near Shaw Creek during the big
October blizzard of 1915. Then on August 14, 1916, with five passengers and
driver R.T. Blakely aboard, it plunged through the bridge spanning Chena Slough and into the water. “Six Men Narrowly Escape Death When Bridge Collapses” noted the <i>Fairbanks Daily Times</i>. The big car was
almost completely submerged, upside down, and one passenger nearly drowned.
Apparently the nine- year-old bridge had been considered unsafe for some time. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The car was salvaged and was still in Fairbanks in 1922, but its fate after
that is unknown.</span></div>
