This
body is identical in every detail to one exhibited by Brewster (on a
Brewster chassis) in the Astor Hotel show in NY in 1918. Open
beam ceiling, leather top, roof ventilator,
quartered oak interior, leather paneling, spindled-back front seat,
woven cane door panels. Advertised as belonging to wealthy
eccentric Hettie Green; she passed away in 1916. Plate shows no
model designation - clearly sold as chassis and had this body
installed. Transitions to Stanley hood and chassis are of a
character that makes it unlikely that this body installation was
actually done by Brewster. Beckner owned since at least the 1950s.
Engine # appeared in Sprague as 22164 - believed to be a different car.
