Topic: A#139 Solved: Comet Roadster

[Arunas]

I have it as a Comet Roadster, advertised from 1951-1955.

Well done! The point is Yours. You can post the ad because I think I have the same.

Not this time range.

So it's not a PUP... later than 1950?
1952-1955.
EDIT: sorry I changed too many times.

Looks like a joke? It really isn't joke and I would give give one additional point if You posted a photo of this car, but I am sure I'm not allowed to do that. Good luck!

So... why would you not be allowed to post a photo of it (at least to begin with)? Is there something you haven't told us?

[Paul Jaray]

This car was shown severeal times just in ads form. I think He is going to give another point to whoever post here a picture of the real car (if it exists).
My question is, since I knew where to find it and the only way was to narrow down the years, why for 2 times I did not have a reply?
My answer is: hey, that's a game, everything is fine.

Comet Motors Inc. was incorporated on April 5, 1954, by Howard Saxon to build midget one-passenger racers. Saxon advertised catalogs for the Comet in the back of do-it-yourself magazines, and some of his little racers were used in state fair rides. Saxon also offered a roadworthy car capable of seating two adults, of which only one is known to have been sold. Saxon advertised the Comet for about eight years, during which time appoximately 30 midget racers were sold. Saxon did sell a lot of catalogs, however.
