Buick-Doble Conversion
I found two photos that I believe are of the same car. The cutaway car is noted as being a Buick-Doble conversion and the assembled sedan photo is noted as being F32. The notes on them are as follows:
"1931 Buick-Doble conversion. Converted at Doble factory, Emeryville, California. Shipped to customers order by R.G. McCord, Oakland, Calif."
"Steam Car Associates, staff photo. Robert G. McCord, Secretary. 529 66th Street, Oakland, California. This Doble Model F 32 was one of the very last jobs turned out at the Doble factory under the collaboration of Abner Doble and William and George Bealer. Sold in 1937 to Steam Car Associates. Sold in 1941 to Dr. S.R. Ruthven of Detroit. Engine, rear axle, steam generator, lubricator, turbine fan and some other parts re-purchased by Steam Car Associates in 1942. These parts sold and delivered to Fred Buess in 1946. This photo presented to our Chicago associate Mr. D. Cameron Peck."
