Reply To: Request a list of the “beautiful” WWII era motors

You should really buy the ones that interest you the most. I wouldn’t buy any with the idea of investment potential, they just aren’t going to go up that much. All the motors in the above list are good motors, depending on mechanical condition most of them could probably be made to run if desired. Don’t be to fooled by the shiny restos as better than new, they looked Pretty good when new too.
As far as display and conversation piece, if affordable the Clarke troller would be good. Many members do run these, they shouldn’t be labeled unsafe.
