Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
Lee told us that he wanted to donate the collection and not split up a thing. It was all or nothing and I have a few buddies tell me the same. He was a cool guy and could talk your ear off with stories. Sorry I could not get to see him before he pass god speed Lee.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
It all depends on how many "smalls" will be in Box Lot sales. They can't sell one spark plug at a time. The auction price vs flip resale price should be interesting to watch.

Wonder if the red and blue headlights flash back and forth???Would be neat back then! Just to add something ,,,Wonder if he collected keys????

I go off the belief that they are so named because Police Dept's back then were predominately Irish. Maybe it be best if we just refer to them like Ford did in late '31, Police Patrols. -Tim |

It should be noted that the wagon in the Hartung collection is not an actual Ford Police Patrol. It is a bus body that was made into a wagon by someone (CPD?). -Tim Last edited by WTSHNN; 09-11-2011 at 10:15 PM. |

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
Thanks for the update and illustrations WTSHUN. That says something about Chicago, even then they needed a bus over a standard Patrol. Tim, thank you for the math lesson, most guys don't add the cost of food & motel and loss of pay to the price of items bought at Hershey. I'd guess that is 15%+ on every item bought.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
So then the Paddy Wagon isn't either of the above two body styles? Does anyone have a picture of the type of 'bus body' it is??

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
I'm wondering how they are going to sell the vehicles, are they going to move them out so they can be inspected or are they going to be sold as is where everything is so close not sure of how good a look you are going to get. The motorcycles I'm sure they will move, but don't know about the cars.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
(pictures from flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/67284583@N08/) Here are two other pictures showing a little bit more detail (or at least what can be seen). Few things that point out this isn't a Police Patrol... The flat firewall. No cowl lights. The back edge of the door curves towards the front of the car, the Police Patrols had a vertical line. Also, the "M" license plate on the vehicle is incorrect. "M" plates started being used to signify "Municipal" plates in IL back in 1939/1940. From 1929 until 1939 "M" plates were used to signify the smallest weight class of trucks. Still pretty cool looking though! -Tim |

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
Boy, until that last picture, I wasn't all that concerned about the flooding up above the running boards thing, but that doesn't look too good to me. Anything can be fixed or replaced, but it is a shame that a neat collection like this had to sit in water. I wonder for how long? Anyone know? Those two running boards are pretty rusty. I saw it on one of the motercycles also about 1/2 way up the tire/wheel. Interesting, thanks for the post.

Re: The Lee Roy Hartung Collection Auction = Chicago
Just looking again....does anybody else think that maybe the 'Chicago' plate above the windshield might be homemade also?? I think the lettering would have been better than that if it was actually police-done. Just an observation.
