Hello, I have a 1923 cardway and am told there is only one left, I have been looking for information on cardway vehicles but have come up empty

Can any one help out with some info

Jon B

It's listed by Wikipedia as having been built in 1923–1924.

Dyson

Thanks I have found that info but nothing else, it also says there were 6 built and one with a right hand drive that went to Australia and that is one I have as it said also there that was last known to be in Canada , I was hoping some one had some more info than what I have found.

Regards

Jon B

A photo would be nice. I doubt that with a Cardway you will be able to find a club to join. You might consider the HET... we love orphan cars...

Hi Dyson.
I may have some information for you regarding your 1923 Cardway.
I have started looking into some family tree stuff and have discovered that my great grand father owned a 1923 Cardway for 40 years, and was the original and first owner. Located in Ballarat, Victoria (Australia), the vehicle was sold to a Canadian man who was transfered by his company to Ohio, USA and had the car sent to USA. I have a newspaper article referring to my great grandfather along with a 1 page newspaper spread about the car including original production details and history of the maker and a letter and photo from the Canadian sent in 1970 thanking my great grandfather for taking such good care of it etc... I would love to share these magnificent pieces of history with you. Please respond as I would love to get your email address so I can send you copies of the info I have in my posession. Thanks

'Standard catalog of AMERICAN CARS 1805-1942", by Bevery Rae Kimes and Henry Austin Clark Jr., parts of pages 241-242. I'll try to scan the pages where it is listed - hopefully sometime tomorrow.

I googled "Cardway Touring Car" and found a 1922 touring car on Flicker, Flicker does not permit download or posting of their photos so you will need to Google it for yourselves. Great looking car.

Hi Brownie - I love a challenge. Thru some unique steps, I was able to copy the photo - Came out pretty well too. Sorry, but it is on my home PC.

However, please see the attached information, scanned out of my referenced book - 'Standard catalog of AMERICAN CARS 1805-1942", by Bevery Rae Kimes and Henry Austin Clark Jr., parts of pages 241-242.

IMO, the information is more interesting than the car - from the description, it is a collection of contracted/purchased parts. The most unique feature appears to be the right-hand drive.

Hi all I have some info that was sent and I will post and a picture of mine as well after the post I received regarding the the great grandfather owned the one letter that was sent I did some investigation and the people who bought the car from the grandfather moved to Ohio with the car and then I found that they live 15 min from me here in Canada and this lady has more info and is sending to me

I thank everyone for all your help
I will post some info on Monday
