Since there are only 7 known photos and one sketch of #1 It's as historically acurate as it can be. Personally looking at the photos and at the reproduction it is very close. It has a 29 (or was 26) Buick body that came from Montana. It is the correct body, that #1 had also a Buick motor, and as I stated in the other post the over heating was caused by the spark being retarded. Once that was corrected It ran very well. Today there was no over heating.......keith
