Thomas-Detroit: large history, just few left

Tom, if I call you I am afraid I will buy it!

It is not the sole surviving Thomas-Detroit. There are at least two other runabouts, (one using the motor I found), and at least one touring that was, or probably now restored. May there are others?
By the way, I live in the Seattle area, which is the basis for the guy telling me it was a spare motor for the 1907 Thomas Flyer,(around the world racer), as it did make a stop in the Seattle area.
Tom's T-D runabout looks like a great car.

I should have said "remove the windscreen and mudguards"!!

I would love to remove the fenders and windshield and go down the road with this car.

Interesting car! Is this the sole survivor of the Thomas-Detroit 1907 to 1910 adventure? And what about the mysterious text above the Harold Brinker photo? He was the despised codriver of the Thomas Flyer, who was replaced in San Francisco. On the photo he is indeed driving a Thomas-Detroit, but I'm not aware of any Locomobile connection.

In 1968 I was looking for a motor for a Lozier project. I found a 4 cyl. motor buried in a wood pile. The owner knew it wasn't a Lozier motor, but offered this motor as a replacement. I agreed on the price and proceeded to uncover it. When exposed we saw it had "Thomas" embossed on the cyl. jugs. He then said it was a spare motor for the famous around-the-world Thomas Flyer. I knew he was wrong because that was a T-head. I bought the motor and took it home. I began looking for ads in Hemmings and found a wanted ad for this exact motor. I contacted the "searcher" and found he had the rest of the chassis. I sold him the motor and the Thomas-Detroit was eventually restored as a runabout. Glad I was able to help get the car together and running again. Wish it had been a Lozier motor! Anyone have any Lozier parts?
