What's the deal with this one?  Looks like a couple of cylinders short!!! :o

Well, the ad says it's parade ready. As long as the parade is on level ground, it should do fine! That car must be a ball of fire on the hills!

A closer look tells me that the seller inserted a pic from what looks like a Model A engine bay. At least I hope so!

If you zoom in on the engine photo you can see one additional spark plug beside the distributor.  Since it can't be a five cylinder the sixth spark plug must be hidden behind the distributor.  It definately is not a Model A Ford engine.

Looks like the seller fixed the error...they did have a Model A engine pictured...but now show the Kaiser motor. I like my Traveler better!
