Rather late hunting report...

If I could buy even a "well worn" '26 Whippet for $7,500 today, I'd have half a dozen in the driveway.
Life's more fun at a slow pace, and driving is more fun when you're an itegral part of the machine.

I believe the '27 plate is a no-go, due to the layout.
"ORE" over the year, on the right side, was used '20 through '26; but it went to "OREGON" at the bottom of the plate for '27 (also a standard size plate in '27, rather than the 'skinny' plate).


Regardless...
I forgot to say before that that's a great photo. Very cool.
 
I went back and looked at that page of plates and you're right, it has to be 1926. I'm not sure if I trust that inflation calculator. I don't know how they could have built and sold a car like that for an equivalent of $7500...

I was thinking about the 49 Ford coupe project car my brother had when I was a kid and how much I'd like to have that car now...

Imagine the crap one would take for bringing a deer home like that now a days... Not from the public as much as from the old lady....
