Uncle Jimmy's 1924 Essex Coach Automobile Southwest Harbor Public Library	Reference	Transportation, Automobile				In Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Permitted	Uncle Jimmy's 1924 Essex Coach Automobile Southwest Harbor Public Library Identifier: swhpl-14106 Type: Reference Subject: Transportation, Automobile Description: "Uncle Jimmy bought a 1924 Essex automobile, in about 1926, for $800 from Lyle Newman at Clark's Point and drove it round the Harbor. Reached Manset and his home on Mansell Lane, drove into the driveway, but when he got into the barn he didn't know how to stop it. My father, Chester Stanley, and Aunt Nan, Uncle Jimmy's wife, heard a crash and there was the Essex with the front end out through the end of the barn. The wheels were still spinning and Uncle Jimmy was standing there scratching his head. Jimmy said, "Ches, if you can get her out, she's yourn." My father drove the car until 1936. He sold it for junk during World War II. It drove like a baby carriage - had good springs and a Fisher body." - Ralph Stanley 01/28/08 [show more]
