Every car collection has a favorite because of its looks, performance, or the memories associated with it. This Jeffery touring car filled that role for the Grew family. Purchased from Max Goldstein, of Quincy, Massachusetts, George Grew’s daughter remembers the vehicle lovingly:
“I remember a new paint job and some minor engine and drivetrain work. We have toured everywhere in this car, all over New England.
I have fond memories of all our trips in the Jeffery. Just recently, a friend of mine spoke about her memories of going with us on a tour in the Jeffery.
“The Jeffery was used in my wedding, and later, we gave our second son the middle name Jeffery, as it was such a big part of our lives back then. After many years of being driven, my dad started sprucing up the Jeffery, and circa 1999–2000, he had about $34,000 worth of mechanical restoration work done on it.
Receipts available show that a new top, frame, and bows were installed in March 2000, and that
G & G Restoration in Proctorsville, Vermont, performed considerable engine and chassis work during the early part of that year. This included disassembly, cleaning, and reconditioning of the engine, including new rings, new transmission bearings and seals, new seals and gaskets in the rear axle, reconditioning of the radiator and magneto, new wiring, and brake work. It has recently been detailed and recommissioned and it is ready to drive.
The battery is 12-volt, 100 Ampere-hour. It has a Bosch Dual Ignition Four dry cells supply battery ignition current. They are located on the dash.
Since the Jeffery was transported from Hershey to Happy Valley, Pennsylvania in 2012, it has been maintained in a climate-controlled environment.
