Andrew Small was gifted this 1927 Moon Motor Car. Never heard of the Moon Motor Car? Well, here is a quick history.
The company was founded by carriage maker Joseph W. Moon. From 1905 to 1930, Moon Motor Car Company was located in St. Louis, Missouri.
Among the buying public, they had a reputation for fully assembled, easily affordable mid-level cars using high-quality parts.
Unfortunately, this meant the process required more human interaction, less machine interaction, which often led to operating losses.

Any stories regarding this project?
This car was purchased new in 1928 by a department store manager in Sydney, Australia.
It was original a 4 door sedan.
He sold it in 1930 to my great grandfather.
My grandfather chopped the rear end, and turned it into a work-Ute for use on his orchard after his return to Australia from WW2.
It was deflected for some time, until my uncle took ownership, and restored it to a 2 door coupe in the late 70’s, early 80’s.
My uncle gifted the car to me in 2018, and I have been conducting minor restoration ever since.
