Velie, Take Me Out In A Velie Car, 1911, RARE

Lyrics:

First
Start for a ride in a Velie car, she sitting by your side,
Leaving the throng you are spinning along, for an auto ride;
They all stop to look at the gray machine passing other ones by,
Not a jolt in the roll, easy control, like in an airship high.

Take me out in a Velie car, Velie car, Velie car.
There is nothing to beat them, classy machines they are,
Let me ride in it near and far, not a jar, it's the star,
The V-E-L-I-E; Take me out in a Velie car.

Second
I am in love with the Velie car, Known as the gray machine,
Beaten by none, its so easy to run, It would please a queen
In quality nothing surpasses it, equal to every test,
And it leads in the race, setting the pace
That's why it's call'd the best.

Take me out in a Velie car, Velie car, Velie car.
There is nothing to beat them, classy machines they are,
Let me ride in it near and far, not a jar, it's the star,
The V-E-L-I-E; Take me out in a Velie car.

Willard Lamb Velie, John Deere's grandson, became a success in his own right manufacturing three vehicles that represented the changing times and technology of the early 20th century.Mr. Velie founded the Velie Carriage Company in Moline in 1901. True to the family agricultural tradition, the company manufactured farm wagons and buggies.Technology was changing, however, so in 1908 the company entered the horseless carriage business, introducing "Old Maude." Though several local companies made automobiles, Velie's was far and away the most successful local effort. More than 75,000 Velie automobiles were made between 1908 and 1928. http://www.qconline.com/progress99/1velie.shtml

Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping.  I usually ship on Mondays, Wednesdays and on Fridays except on holidays. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient.
