1913 Pope-Hartford Model 29 2-Passenger Roadster | May 6, 2008
The Pope Company made automobiles between 1905 and 1914. Unlike other car companies of the time, the Pope was built entirely in the Manufacturer’s factory. Most car makers in that period relied on many major components coming from outside suppliers.

This Pope-Hartford Roadster had a six-cylinder engine, with the cylinders cast in pairs and bolted to a two piece aluminum crankcase. The alloy steel crankcase runs in four main bearings. Valves are chrome-nickel steel, operated in pushrods and rocker arms from a chrome-nickel camshaft.

During its day, Popes were among the best and most expensive cars available in the United States. The Pope-Hartford was a fast car for its time – and this model appeared even sportier due to its rakish-looking 2-seater configuration. The Pope Company, in fact, was very successful when competing against other manufacturers in racing and hillclimbing events.

New, this pictured car was priced at $4250. It has a 6-cylinder OHV, 471 cubic-inch, 60 hp engine. It was once part of both the Harrah Collection and then the Otis Chandler Collection.
