Dear G2 Owner/Enthusiast,
Finally, another Newsletter – but your G2 Club has been busy since the last one. We are listed as a “Marque” in the latest Hemmings Collector Car Almanac and that has brought in some correspondence. Admit extreme laziness in not getting our Website going, but Hemmings promises help on that.
Have kept our address and Email list as current as possible but have the detail statistics on only eight G2’s in answer to the first Newsletter Data Sheet. This is not good. Those who haven’t sent their Data Sheet in should do so, for this is vital to our Club being viable as an information source and resource for members. Pictures too! In this regard, if any member does not want their name, address or car data listed on the Website, let me know. Not too sure what will be on the site, maybe just name, location and car data. Give me your thoughts on this.
As you know, Dale Dutton’s beautiful Glasspar resides at the Smithsonian in the Transportation Section – at least it did until this spring when they redid the whole exhibit to make it one of the modern “instructive” walk-thru’s. Only two of the cars of the many displayed survived the cut, and our Glasspar was not one of them. If you visit DC, arrange a tour of the Smithsonian’s Suitland Facility where they store all the autos and airplanes not on exhibit to the public. Dale’s G2 will be there; in fact it’s better than the Museum, more cars.
Have been a little busy answering queries from the field and have set up a couple of G2 sales. Quite a few questions like “What is it” with a picture. For the info of all, remember there is a big difference between a Glasspar G2 and a Woodill Wildfire. You will note on the early Wildfire below, the distinctive raised and curved dash cowl and squared off rear fenders. All Woodills had this, even No. 1. Later Woodills had higher doors and a different grille. Practically all Wildfires were sold as kits as were the G2’s. Incidentally, the Vaughn Singer was one car, a G2 body on a Singer frame and engine shown at a NYC Auto Show, and that was it.
