Northwest Vintage Speedsters -- Walt & Mary Berdan Speedster -- 33

Number 33

Walt & Mary Berdan



See New Body Under Construction Its an '18 T frame. The '26 T motor is stock except for a distributor, improved valves, a RAJO 4 valve head, and Model A exhaust. There is a Chicago under/direct/over auxiliary transmission to make hills and cruising a bit easier. The body began on a blank sheet of paper, it is wood and has a trunk that adds versatility for touring. Chassis mods include some lowering and a split early A wishbone for front end stability. After driving the car a few years some safety updates seemed in order - steering is assisted by a VW bus gearbox and 4 wheel hydraulic brakes began life on a Nash Metro.
