  • Cameron Richards, Vice President of the Nethercutt Collection stops by to show Jay this 1923 McFarlan Model 154 Knickerbocker Cabriolet. Originally owned by silent film era movie star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, this beautiful piece of automotive royalty is a sight to behold. It looks right, and sounds right, but how does it drive?

    • @brandywell44
      @brandywell44 10 месяцев назад +10

      Atlas was the senior son of Poseidon and Cleito and would likely have been very large and posibly what they sometimes call Annakin as a result of God and human hybrid. Genesis called them mighty men and heroes of old. According to Otto Muck Atlantis was centred on the current day Azores and according to old Egyptian legend sank beneath the sea in a terrible day and terrible night. Think of the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains named after Atlas. It is legend.

      @WitchKing-Of-Angmar 10 месяцев назад +5

      Respectful yes, but knowledgeable in a vehicle that he has little to no information on is not very knowledgeable. The McFarlane was an automobile and coach building company that had every model as a unique choice. Now a lot of people get the impression...well a lot of people have never studied anything in their life other than the Model T, but people don't understand that the luxury ideal of the time was never a tudor top Limousin or sedan. The big luxury thing was the enclosed limousine, sport sedan, or enclosed stationary top coupe/cabriolet. If you look at a rubay (HIGHLY expensive automobile company beyond cadillac lincoln pierce arrow you name it) you'll see a beautiful long sedan body, cut short roof, beautifully angled front windshield, large fenders and white walls in the 1910s. Very art deco design around 1916-1918 and a 150 wheelbase. Then you look at a Winton, with gorgeous curvature, long open window from front to back with little slits for the door openings, came in a variety from cherry red, cream vanilla, to an early metallic storm blue. Pierce arrow had this fanciful carriage esk window design, large large tires that were about 2.7/4 the size of a 6 foot man, classical colors of the early automobile days, and amazing embellishments.
      These are vehicles that everyone should have known about, but were covered up by the Model T, in all its absolutely charmless clash.

The first book is out of print but the second can be obtained by contacting the Fayette County Historical Museum in Connersville.

    I think it's the one that once was in the Harrah's auto collection in Las Vegas. It's two tone gray and black. The museum also has a Cord 810, a Lexington, an Auburn sedan, and a McIntire. All built in Connersville. Also, the Indiana History Center in Indianapolis just completed a " Indiana Cars of the 20s" exhibition that included a McFarlan roadster.

    Great show, Jay! Glad to see you're well. Back in the 19th century, 'Knickerbocker' was a popular reference to someone from New York, specifically Manhattan. I think the name of this car, although built in Indiana, was meant to evoke the modern wealth and power of New York -- kind of like naming a car Zurich. The look on Cameron's face when Jay told the mechanic: "Let's take it out completely" is priceless 🤣. He looked like he was gonna have kittens. He sure was sweatin' it.
