Gary and Bobbie-May's 1928 Sports Coupe

I acquired my ’28 Sport Coupe from fellow club members George and Bonnie in 1997, who nicknamed it Henry. They had owned it for 25 years. This car has the date of August 31, 1928 stamped on the firewall. It is a Canadian built car, with all the usual Canadian made features such as Robertson screws and smooth bumper clamps. I believe that the engine is still the original one installed at the factory. It has a five-bearing camshaft. The rumble seat was also original from the factory. The car is a fairly low mileage one that appears to have been well kept and maintained all of its life. George thinks that it belonged to an old spinster lady at one time. It has never been given a complete restoration, but it was repainted and the original top replaced many years ago. In the time that I have owned it, I have completely rebuilt the engine and transmission and installed a new top and headliner. I had the wheels powder coated. I rebuilt and installed an original horn, along with numerous other small repairs. My goal with this car is to make it a reliable and enjoyable driver.
