As I have seen photos on line of Fairmonts with the center bar that comes down at a diagonal from each end, I tend to think the one in the photo I posted must be a factory assemebled model. It seems like an odd quirk in the design. Smitty thanks for the email, I may follow up on a lead in Nev. I recieved back channel. Sad that these slipped through SVRR's fingers unless the museum closed shortly before the organization was formed. I don't know when the museum closed for sure. I recall being there as a child probably around the time Ron took the photos. All I recall is my dad pointing out a horse drawn hearse that was inside that had belonged to a distant relative that was an early day undertaker in Baker. I may well have climbed and played on these motor cars. You know as kids we loved levers and nobs to pull and push.
