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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.
