Very interesting thread with some amazing detective work and impressive knowledge about the early cars. I would say that we would all be in agreement that the car was no doubt owned and used by Edison, I do support the effort to authenticate and validate artifacts to ensure accurate representation.
If the engine was disproved as being authentically A1 and perhaps a restamped replacement, I don't believe it hurts the historical importance of the car.
