[Justbad Joe]

It looks like 8 cars to a transport? This is the transport my dads deuce was on. I know of 4. 2sf yellow,1 blue and a gobi car. Looks like a silver and a forest green car were there too. Any info these 2 other or the whereabouts the rest is appreciated?

Are you referring to the picture in the Cedar Rapids advertisement? If so, then IIRC:

1 - Sunflower Yellow to Rapids Chev
1 - Gobi Beige to Rapids Chev
1 - Sunflower Yellow to H&H in Nebraska
1 - Fathom Blue to Kidder in Sioux City
1 - Forest Green to Kidder in Sioux City
1 - Cortez Silver to Kidder in Sioux City
1 - ??, likely a 3rd to Rapids
1 - ??, likely a 2nd car to H&H

Years ago we looked at the # of cars delivered to each dealer and the shipping dates, and concluded that the initial order qty was typically 3 cars and subsequent orders could be less than 3. This is not set in stone though, the goal was to fill up the truck. So, it Rapids and Kidder each ordered 3 cars, and it took 2 more to fill a truck - then H&H could order 2....

I believe the s.f. yellow one from H&H is in Lincoln NE. I believe it was with the original owner when I saw it and was unrestored. It did have side pipes added. I have a bunch of pictures of it from a show quite a few years ago.

Yes, he still owns it, original owner and original paint - very cool car!

Talked with dad and he wondered if the blue Erickson deuce was on there?

Possibly, but the Erickson car could have been on a number of deliveries to the Northern IL area as well. To hard to know exactly....
