Morgans.. they would be a fantastic vehicle for a good slow cruise across country


well maybe it wouldn't, with rain and stuff likely to happen, but I'd like to give it a whirl for a while

  2. The vehicle in photo 1 is a 1928 Darmont. See:

    The vehicle in photo 2 appears to be a 1922 Darmont Sport Mag, according to the tag. See:

    2. I looked at each of the links you sent, to see what a Darmont was, and what the red Morgan I posted had in common. Your first link was informative, but didn't seem to be relevant to the red car I posted. So I looked at the 2nd link, and it doesn't have a Darmont in it, but did have two more images of the 2nd Morgan I posted, the one with wood sides and the light green paint. Nice to find a couple more photos of that Morgan. So then I looked at the 3rd link you sent, and it is for the 1st international cycle car race in Detroit, and no Darmont is mentioned there. So.... I don't know what you're sending me links for, as none of them really clicked. They were all cool, or informative, and all had a lot of Morgan to learn or see, but your statement that I posted a Darmont? Has me wondering which one of us missed the mark
