There seems to be almost no information about Northwestern Motorcars out there compared to Fairmonts or Woodings. I've posted on several NARCOA groups on yahoo but I still wasn't able to get a much information, so I thought I'd try RYPN.

I recently purchused a 1952 Northwestern motorcar model 532R its an ex-Army car will all the plagues and its original bell just in need of a restoration. I had no plans on purchasing a motorcar till I saw one on craigslist that was near my house and the rest is history... How rare are Northwestern's? Really I know nothing about them, so any information one could offer would be appreciated!

The Colfax RR Museum received a donation of display items from a Northwestern commercial business show type display and then received a LARGE grouping of drawings for parts. We are only about 20 miles from Eau Claire, WI where they had their factory. The building is still there but has been reused.

I restored a Northwestern 535 B&B 8 man gang car some years ago and sold it. You don't see many of them around at all. They are well built cars. The NYMT restored a 1927 Northwestern "Casey Jones" car seen here http://www.nymtmuseum.org/NYMTPict1.php?Reqst=CaseyJones.jpg;Casey_Jones_Track_Car

I don't know why but there was alot more information a few years back on internet about these cars, but most all of it has disappeared.
