Auto Restoration 101

Here are some more pictures of the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan when the car was picked up for the restoration.

Also here’s some interesting history about this car as copied from an information card.
Specifications: Length 248″ Height 69″ Width 90″ Weight 5740 lbs Tread 74″

Designed and built by Bruce Baldwin Mohs- Mohs Seaplane Corporation, Madison Wisconsin.
This is the one and only prototype which contains 30 unique features including patented safety features not found on other cars of the late 60’s. It was driven to the engineering departments of the big 3 in Detroit to demonstrate and market the features. Some were many years ahead of their time and are now “standard equipment” on cars today. The car was built on a special order chassis by International Corp. and has a 304 cu. in. V8. The tires are 7.50 x 20 Denman custom built wide whitewalls filled with pure nitrogen. (The car was stored for 19 years and the tires still had 20 psi. 12 psi was added as a testament to this technology)

Bruce Mohs turned the car over to Fred Beyer founder of “Hot Rod High” who coordinated the preparation of the car for the 2009 Iola car show. The car was removed from storage and transported
with assistance from Bob Abitz, a retired auto body instructor from Freedom Wisconsin. The mechanical work, brakes and electrical was done with help form students at Shawano High School’s Automotive program. The body work and painting was done by Jay Abitz and students from Freedom High School Auto Club. The final assembly and detailing was by Mike Carnahan and Fred Beyer.
