Every so often Howard Demick and I exchange emails. In the early part of winter, 2008, he wrote to say that during the summer he had moved his 1919 Liberty out of the barn, loaded it on a truck, and took it to be completely restored. With his email he included the photos above and below this posting. Apparently the car had been in the shop for a while and one of the mechanics called Howard and asked, "Can you guess what that is?" At which point all Howard could hear over the phone was a loud indiscernible noise in the background. Well, what Howard was hearing was the sound of the engine from his 1919 Liberty running for the first time in decades. Apparently, with relatively minor effort, they got the engine running just as it was. Howard says the car should be completed by summer of 2009. I can't wait for the next round of pictures.
