Starting and a drive in our 1914 Grant - plus, Intern's first crank start! For more antics from Wedgewood Resort - visit our CZcams Channel / fountainheadmuseum
Nice car. Good to see it being preserved, by using it. Thank you. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿. I have visited the Southward Museum but never when they are driving their exhibits.
Simply amazing to see antique cars like this that actually run and are operable, very impressive. This is definitely on my bucket list of things I would like to do.
Wonderful to see cars driven with warm oil and water coursing through their veins instead of laying all flat and 2 dimensional like an old cast out refridgerator.
The Grant was built in Findlay and Cleveland, OH between 1913 and 1922. The 4-cylinder roadster was thought of as a cyclecar by the general public when it was first introduced, but it was more substantial than that. To counter this perception, the 6-cylinder Model S was introduced, and production of the 4-cylinder model was discontinued.
My first car was a '38 Ford 8. Like this car, open the bonnet you can see and fix everything. Just a few spanners and a screwdriver, fix anything. Open a modern car bonnet, you can’t see a damn thing thats mechanical, just a huge plastic cover/whatever.. those were the days!
Very cool so people can see the things in the museum, I thought the cycle car was way to clean to have been used that's all I see of that car it has either been redone or never driven.

It is so wonderful to see these old gems actually being driven/run and not trailer-queened.

Oh cute! It's like a 4/5 scale Bullnose Morris!

Great example, I have a 1913/14 Grant Roadster as well. It is available, saved it from the scrapper, no original engine, great project
