Title: Custer Car invalid carriage?
Post by: mharrell on July 08, 2011, 01:06:27 am

Custer Car of Dayton, Ohio, made a number of small vehicles that look like amusement rides, but this one seems to be an invalid carriage:

I just sent a message to Ian Hellings....

Thanks for the e-mail Mike.  Usually called Custer-Chair, though made by The Custer Car Company.  These were made as electric or gasoline.  I think the years were 1923 to 1934. The electric ones had solid wheels whereas the gas (petrol to you pommies) had wire spoke wheels.  I think his price is over-zealous, but I still bid.    Ian.
