1903 Winton Two-Cylinder Detachable Tonneau

This 1903 Winton 24HP 5-Passenger Toy Tonneau Tourer was given a restoration and finished in blue with black accents and red pinstripe decorations. There are Gray & Davis Winton badged headlamps and Gray & Davis Winton badged side lamps. There is a lattice roof, a folding windscreen, a black leather interior, and seating for five individuals. The wicker storage compartments, on either side of the tonneau, and the wicker umbrella holster provide ample storage.

Willis Boyd of Santa Ana, California, acquired this Winton sometime around 1980 and it is believed that he performed the restoration for use on driving tours and veteran car runs. Updates to were made to make operation much easier and safer for modern-day motoring. The original carburetors were replaced with a pair of more standard period units, and a hydraulic emergency brake was made to ensure confidence when traveling a road with a steep decline. This emergency brake is engaged via an additional foot pedal. The addition of an electric starter motor allows for quick and easy starting from the driver's seat. The rear lamps operate as running lamps, brake lamps, and turn indicators, and have been converted to 12 Volt electric. Seat belts have been installed in the front seats.

Conrad Fletcher of Golden, Colorado acquired the Winton in 2002.
