Just curious apparently there was a Model D V8 that belonged to a collection from the late Don Ryan out of Bellingham. I never saw the car just wondering if any of you guys that follow these cars knew anything of its whereabouts?

You might contact Bruce Deford who tries to keep up with the known early V-8s.

Thanks Chopper, does Bruce go by "Grease Monkey"? If so I'm not able to contact him probably because I am not a member yet of VCCA. Thanks

Hi Scotty, Yes I do know where Don Ryan's car is currently, the owner happened to call me about something else and by accident I found out he had the car. It happens to be the same guy that bought his 32 coupe. I'm not sure where Whatcom County is. You’re more than welcome to give me a call and discuss more. I'm trying to collect photos of all the V8's so we can keep better track of them.

Thanks Bruce, I'm glad the car has been accounted for. I had heard years ago about the car. They are sure nice cars, I currently have a very nice 37 Chev MD Coupe (all original) and putting a reblt V12 engine back in a Lincoln.
Whatcom County is the Bellingham area (about 90 miles N of Seattle. Don Ryan was only about 8 miles from where I live and owned Skagit Crane. I never knew of his cars till after he passed.
