The very last surviving Dixie Flyer? (UPDATE III:number four located in Iceland !)

• 

Bernie Jacobson from Australia recently acquired a Dixie Flyer, probably one of the later production cars. Dixie Flyers were built by the Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company in Louisville Kentucky USA from 1917 until 1922. Now he is desperately searching for at least one other surviving car as he cannot grasp the idea that he may own the very last survivor... So far his efforts to locate a second Dixie Flyer (owner) have been in vain. A posting on the AACA's forum has failed to bring forth any response. Likewise advertisements in a number of local Australian Old Car Club magazines has proved fruitless. E-mails to both Michael Ware and Michael Worthington Williams have sparked their interest and while MWW can confirm that Dixie Flyers were imported new into England no surviving examples have been discovered. There is a rumour of another example believed to be in either Denmark or Norway but to date this is unconfirmed either way. Is anybody of our readers aware of other Dixie Flyer somewhere on this globe? Either in sad or shiny condition? In a short websearch we found at least one, that is to say one other Dixie Flyer badge.... photographed by Inga Rannveig (DPCprints.com). But where is that car, or should we say: Where is Inga?

UPDATE by Inga Rannveig from Iceland who has seen the car there and wrote us this is a 1919 car. More to follow later after we have heard from the Iceland ... 'Akureyri' Car Club
