    quote PM T2:

    If you read carefully, you will find (or not find, in this case) that the Service Speedster doesn’t actually show up in the model-year guide for 1931.

    All service Speedsters are recognized as 7 HP motors, so where the 8 HP rating comes from, I have no clue. Could be that there were plans in t he works for such an animal, but it never actually happened.

    It was listed in the catalog as part of the Speedster family, but doesn’t show up in the model-year list. Where did it go, eh?

    The 8 HP motor that did show up in 1932 was the Service “A”, which should not be confoozed with the Service Speedster.

    Best,

    I never seen a date in that article, but I was also thinking that it was
    a possibility that they were touting something that never came to
    fruition.
    I was wondering about that "Service A" in 1932, but haven’t looked
    for a photo of one yet.
    All interesting!
