1917 Madison Frontenac speedster?

Does anyone know what this is and value? I kinda dig it and my buddy is selling the car.

Not a bad looking speedster. Frontenac OHV head - they had an alphabet letter to designate model - T, S or R (rare). New KC Warford - constant mesh auxiliary transmission - underslung chassis - cool find ! Value depends on what he wants & what you might want to pay ! Fronty head is in the 3K + range - Warford another 2K range.

On a side note: not sure why they have the demountable rim bolts on reverse on the front wheels - nuts should face out to change a flat ???????

Here's my Racer.

Looks like it might also have a Ruckstell rear end in it also. Maybe it was in there before the KC Warfford.
Cute little speedster. I like the detail on the body. Is it a running driving car? Or is it a project?

To get the correct spacing instead of using spacers, they mounted the Chevrolet wheels backwards. Have seen that done but not optimal. I made spacers for mine so the mounted with nuts/rims facing the correct direction.

Those wheels look very similar to the ones on my Racer - the rim bolts on the rears on the yellow car are mounted correctly - just the fronts are reversed - was why I was wondering. Those are 23" wheels on mine & the yellow car - they are not 21" Chev., Mark.
