- At the 2013 Geneva Concours I spoke with the owner, Mr. Morris Dillow about this jewel of a car, the 1907 Jewel. Because of the Centennial Celebration of the Lincoln Highway there were many Brass Era cars at this show.

A runabout. I'LL STEAL IT! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
I literally searched "runabout car" just now to see if anyone made that comment on a video with a real runabout.
You did not disappoint.
Lmao I DID!
Holy sh@#$, ¿is that a Dover Boys reference?
@@craigthebrute8932You bet your dear, rich Dora Standpipe it is!
UNHAND HER DAN BACKSLIDE! @@Chigger
I love that someone this day and age has that much knowlege ( or however it's spelled) of back then. And that is an incredible restoration for only 117 days.
That was AWESOME! I'm always learning new things, so I especially enjoyed that bit about the white tires.
A few years ago, I used to work as a tour guide at Morven Park, in Leesburg, Virginia. Often, I would conduct tours of the Winmill Carriage Collection there. And, there were two Stanhope Phaetons in our inventory there. Of course, these were of the horse-drawn persuasion!
Frequently while giving a tour, I would find myself attempting to illustrate the continuum between carriages, and the first, very literal "horseless carriages" that would eventually herald the new era of automotive transportation. But, all I could feebly do was point to a couple of pictured illustrations, which hung on a wall. What a boon something like this would have been! LOL
Incidentally, some of the carriages there had rubber-coated wheels on them: Hard rubber-coated wheels, to be exact. As vulcanization was a process yet to be invented when these were made, the wheels gave better traction than iron ones, but, soft rubber was-n't yet an option. Of course, being originally from Akron, Ohio, one might expect me to have known that! LOL Suffice to say, I had a ball giving tours there.
Once again, many thanks for a superlative presentation, Chuck!
Hello Paul, I've been holding off on my reply until I could come up with a reply that is good enough to respond to your comment. I can't seem to come up with anything good so here I sit. lol Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you for sharing video. Great restoration! Would love to see more of the vehicle.
Very different, and an amazing restoration in such a short period of time.
These brass era cars were always a favorite. Thanks for the great video!
Great clip! more brass era cars please!
This is a great interview! I had to watch it twice. Spoiler alert! With lines such as "riding a park bench at ten miles per hour" and "just like a weed whacker" I laughed so hard that I watched it a second time so I could hear all of it.
Fantastic Video! Thank you for the great content chuck!
I love this stuff. Thanks Chuck.
Very rare economy car of the 1900s.
Hey chuck I have watched all your videos.Great job.Love the Vodoo Larry ones.
Thank you.
fantastic
great video! thanks. I love seeing white tires on cars that had them originally.
Thanks.
I like your channel.
Thanks
Loved this video, thanks for posting Chuck. What a beautiful Jewel! Mr. Dillow, you did a fantastic job restoring it. How does the electric start work? Maybe friction-drive on the flywheel? Makes starting these easier than hand-cranking it over I'll bet. Wondering: when I was a kid, I visited the Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo, SD. They had (and still have) a 1902 Jewel. Their car is more carriage-like than this one: it has large carriage wheels and tiller steering, but it is motorized and has a 2 cylinder engine. Not much information about this company out there.
He found the car at Chickasha Oklahoma Swap Meet ?
I go there every year & i didnt see it there this year ?
But then again i wasnt looking for 1 either .. HaHa !
Beautiful car for only owning it 110 days ?
Amazing Restoration !
Informative and fun. Rides w/Chuck #1!
A pleasing vid. Cheers.
Massillon Museum has one almost identical to this. Very interesting to see one run.
If I make it to Germany I certainly will stop at the Mercedes Museum!
Great Video. If you sometimes come to Germany comme to the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart
Now that's a real car thanks chuck
Great vid as usual, chuck; appreciate the reference to "white tyres". I didn't know that tyres were originally white even though latex is white. Guess if you live long enough, you learn lots of "new" things.
This automobile is very interesting if only for the reason that it appears antiquated for its time given that only one year later the Model T was introduced. With the exception of the fact that it used a steering wheel, this model looks more representative of automobiles being produced ten years earlier.
Hello: Thanks for another cool video. I wonder if green could have been an original color. My grandmother born in 1907 told me the only color see saw on cars at first was black and later navy or dark blue. I think the only cars she ever talked about was a Ford. Most people were lucky to have a used Ford in those days. Have a Good Day
I can't get it to play, Chuck. Maybe I need to insert a quarter?
most interesting auto vids on youtube
Amazing! Funny technological juxtaposition as well as it drove down the road with a Volt coming the other way.
You noticed that!
I was surprised nobody else had said so yet
I caught that too and made me chuckle. Pretty funny!
Hi Rich!
