Attica shop repairs make over sixty horse power Austin
Lon Lindsey of Kingman had his big sixty horse power Austin repaired and transformed at the Lief Buggy company plant in Attica. The car received front doors fitted to match the rear, a wooden hood, relocated gas tank and tool chest, and a new frame for the car number. Painted white with brown trim, Lon drove it home proud as ever, praising Attica’s work and noting local advertising value. The piece predicts Attica could lead western Indiana in automotive repair innovation.
