Re: March '05 Feature Car
Bob,
It's a '47 Hiawatha "Doodle Bug". Built by Beam Manufacturing in Webster City, IA. They made them in standard and super models with Briggs or Clinton 1.5 hp engines. This one is a standard with a Briggs. I brought it home in a box full of rusty junk, it was OK though 'cause I told Barb it was her Valentines present. I guess that means its hers. The coolest thing is on the standard, the throttle and brake are on one lever. Squeeze for brake and let it go for full throttle. OSHA and lawyers love it. They bring $3 to 5 grand restored.
