This 1915 Cole Model 850-J Roadster is one of approximately 79 surviving examples of the Cole marque, and one of only two extant V-8-powered chassis from the 1915 model year. It was given a high-quality restoration (likely completed prior to 1990), and its body is finished in maroon with black-clad fenders, a black top, and black leather upholstery. The current owner acquired the Cole in 2017 out of long-term storage.
The current owner added four new wooden artillery-spoke wheels, a complete exhaust system, an engine rebuild, and new leather upholstery. There are Johnson triple-action tubular shocks, a pair of dual, rear-mounted tire tubes, correct Delco electricals, and a Boyce MotoMeter.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2024
