Comments[271]: Thank you for this great website, it is fast and easy to navigate. Very informative with the links to Alvaro Krotz etc.
A week ago I had the pleasure of driving a 1908 Sears which was the highlight of a trip I took.
Thank you again.

Comments[270]: I would guess that many Sears owners may
not be aware that the 1951 movie,
"Excuse My Dust", featured Sears Motor
Buggies...
Background.. MGM bought 3 Sears, maybe
4, and one was lost during the shooting
in the river.
Our Sears Registry notes those surviving
cars and current owners.
A few years ago, the movie became
available on CD.. cheap and a great
story.
Just Google "Excuse My Dust".

Comments[269]: Sears wheel bearings are no longer
available... from Timken or anywhere so
far as I have found.
Does anyone have a solution to machining
the spindles for modern bearings?
Specs...bearing source... part numbers?

Comments[268]: Most impressive site - thank you.
Motor historian David Burgess-Wise
suggests the high-wheeler in 'I Married a
Witch' (1942) is a Sears (Motor Buggy)
Runabaout.
I thought it might be a Studio-built
Special.
Do you happen to know the vehicle(?) of
which there's a still image on imcdb.org
Best wishes
Peter

Comments[265]: Thank you for posting info about these
vehicles. I was looking for info on

article on Sears' later foray into the
automotive business, the 1952-54
Allstate.

Comments[264]: Thank you for posting this page on
Alvaro Krotz. I see a couple of my
relatives have written to you as well
as he was also my Great Great Uncle,
the younger brother of my Great
Grandfather Alonzo Krotz from Defiance
Ohio. Is there any kind of archive or
family collection about his life in
photos or documents? I know almost
nothing about the Krotz family as my
Grandmother Mildred Rosalie Krotz
rarely talked about it.

Comments[262]: I have contacted you previously but was unable to comply to yourquestions as we were moving from FL to Wisconsin in spring of 2014. I have a Sears Automobile, believe it was built in 1908, my Father bought it directly from Mr.Krotz in his workshop in Rockton. I was a child and with my Father; it was in the 40's. I have a photo of him with the car but have not found it yet. We will be moving again(in Dec) locally to a home with large garage so we can take photos. One appraiser believes it is a hand built vehicle, before mass production. We are interested in selling the vehicle and will contact you for information regarding this in case you know of someone that may be interested. The vehicle isso rare that we don't want to sell it in usual manner. thank you. Carol Gukich

A Sears Motor Buggy serial no. 3193, was some years ago purchased from an auction at Aalholm Automobile Museum in Denmark by a Finnish buyer and brought to Finland.
