Welcome

Welcome to Classic Car Weekly. This blog is dedicated to showcasing the most interesting (and unusual) cars that are coming up for auction (or are just for sale somewhere). We may also, from time to time, showcase other unusual (and interesting) cars that aren’t necessarily for sale. It may looks relatively bare right now, but don’t fret because we’re going to try and unleash as much content as possible. We’re enthusiasts, fans of the collector car hobby who, in place of buying these wonderful machines, learn everything we can about them. Enjoy.

Thanks for visiting! And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @ClassicCarWeek where we’ll be bringing you auction results and classic car news.

Enger Runabout

Frank J. Enger set up shop in Cincinnati in 1909 to build high-wheelers. More traditional touring cars followed in 1910, but the company folded in 1917 after Frank’s suicide in his office. This high-wheeler is from the first year of production.

The Enger high-wheeler was actually a normal car but with big wheels. It’s pretty much the original donk. Three models were offered that year, and the Model B was the least expensive at $1,600. It’s powered by a 14 horsepower flat-twin. This one should bring between $15,000-$25,000. Click here for more info and here for more from this sale. Also, I really want this car.

Update: Sold $45,100.
