View the exact-car photographsWhy this car matters
A veteran survivor whose museum stewardship and reconstructed rear-entry body make restoration history part of its importance.
- Rear-entrance tonneau; Veteran Car Club dating recorded by Bonhams.
One car, a documented identity
Bonhams identifies chassis 3114; its cited factory record dates construction to October 25, 1901.
The catalog corrects an earlier 1898 attribution to 1901.
Schlumpf ownership and the reported museum exchange are qualified accounts, not independently verified facts.
Restored bodywork and a modern starter preclude an untouched-original description.
