Restoration of 100-year-old car celebrates automotive history in Mass.

Ken Lemoine from Framingham restored the only known surviving 1924 Bay State sedan over seven years, celebrating automotive history.
His restoration honors Massachusetts' rich vehicle manufacturing legacy, where over seven million vehicles were built by 162 companies between 1893 and WWII.
The Bay State sedan, manufactured by R.H. Long Motor Company at the Fountain Street facility, is equipped with a six-cylinder Continental 7L engine, a transmission developed by Warner, a rear axle from Columbia, and electrical components supplied by Delco.
Lemoine described the process as a "10,000-piece jigsaw puzzle without an owner's manual," calling the car a unique piece of art embodying local automotive heritage.
The finished sedan will be featured alongside as many as 50 vehicles made in Massachusetts at the free Baystate Motor Festival, taking place Sunday at Framingham’s Cushing Memorial Park.
