If you’ve been looking for a nice enameled Bantam emblem for a while, your wait may have been worth it. This emblem just popped up on ebay last night and is amazing. Although the chrome has some scratches, I would almost believe this is either NOS or completely restored as the chrome often yields to the brass beneath. Costs to restore these badges range from $175 to over $300.
If you need a badge, buy this one. It doesn’t look like you’ll be sorry if you’re the winner:

The big East Coast shows are going on in these two weeks. Then, just after Hershey, the ABS will be having it’s national meet highlighting the 75th anniversary of the BRC. I hope you’ll have a chance to at least enjoy one of these events.
Before I head off to Pennsylvania for the shows, I wanted to give you an update of the Ebay landscape

I needed to share this with you. Check your email to see if you received a coupon code which gives certain people $20 off of $100 purchases on ebay motors. I didn’t notice it on my email, but instead on a listing. This code will not work for everyone, but a sure way to tell if it will work is to click on the Austin style headlight below. You may see a small thing that says “see how you can save $20” or something like that. I would have taken a screen shot for you, but I stupidly used it before taking a photo.

For your consideration is a unique opportunity to own a 1939 Bantam Woody Station Wagon. Usually, these cars pass silently between Bantam club members. Occasionally, these cars are seen at the auctions, but not frequently enough for other collectors to get their hands on them.
These cars were designed by Bantam to be the gem of any garage. Described by the company as being the embodiment of nonchalant luxury, and by being priced as their halo car; the Bantam station wagon was anything but a little economy car. It was a useful, utilitarian, piece of art. Although they were fairly popular in proportion to other models built, their survival rate has been identified as very small.
1938 Bantam Station Wagon Prototype
There are less than twenty of these Station Wagons known to exist at this time, although there may be a few more stashed out there. Most often, these cars are sold for increasingly more and more with projects becoming less and less extant. Finished, you can have something like this:
Here is the offering for your consideration, the bones of a spartan, understated, elegant gem. Click on the thumbnail below to learn more about this project. Perhaps this could find its way into your garage.

Three American Bantam Hubcaps:
Here are some great photos of American Bantam Hubcaps. As was covered a few months ago, there are a few different style hubcaps available during the Bantam production run. The photos of the inside show that these hubcaps have the separately embossed skin applied to the standard baby moon hubcap, as done at the factory. Unlike a lot of the hubcaps out there, these could be used as is or refreshed with a minimum of work. Although the price seems high to me, they are probably priced fairly. The caps which were selling previously were going for about $33 – $75 each and were suffering from curb rash (see: February 2015 Post)

BRC with minor upgrades:
Isn’t this how most people modify their Bantams? On a more serious note, if this is something you want, remember to bid early and often as there is nearly guaranteed to be a sniper waiting at the end of the auction for this one.

It used to be more frequent that you would find the later style T-5 emblems on Ebay. However, as of late, they seem to have become more of a rarity. Often times, you can find NOS foils, which I have bought in the past. Rather than have to buy a GT emblem, dissect it, and rebuild it with a new foil; this auction presents an opportunity to give you car what she deserves.
