I had a Sears automobile. Bigger than life, right on the side, “Allstate”. It was actually a Henry J that they remarked - but it had a title that said “Allstate” and Sears sold them through their catalog.

A friend of mind tried to make a hot rod out of it by putting in a Buick engine and transmission. He could never get it to run correctly and sold it to me out of frustration - and cheap.

I messed with it for another year and couldn't get it run right, so I sold the engine and trans and junked the rest.

Of course you can imagine what collectors pay for them now (another of my brilliant decisions).
