At this year's Tulare, California Antique Farm Show I had a chance to compare the Model F and Model 100. The 100 was brought to the show by a Canadian collector. Cletrac was the honored marquee this year. This was a 1927 Model 100 with a 6 cylinder gas engine, 6 inch bore and 7 inch stroke, for 100hp at the drawbar and 120hp at the pulley. Weighing in at 28,000 lbs.  

The Model F was brought to the show by the man pictured, Leo. He is a retired Stanford hand surgeon who as restored everything from Fresno scrapers, Ducati bicycle engines to the second Ferrari ever built. Quite an interesting gentleman.

Not sure if pictures are going to post.
