PARAMOUNT CABINAIRE 165 NC17M

This airplane landed once at Colorado Springs, on Monday, September 22, 1930. It was flown, apparently solo, by Walter J. Carr. Carr and NC17M were competitors in the sixth annual National Air Tour, which passed through 31 U.S. and Canadian cities in 1930, starting and finishing in Dearborn, MI. Colorado Springs was the 23rd stop on the Tour. Fourteen aircraft manufacturers were represented in the Tour by 18 airplanes. Below, a photograph of NC17M

NC17M was designed and built by Carr in 1929. It left the factory with a Wright Model 540, 5 cylinder 165 hp engine. Nine Cabinaires were built before the Great Depression caused Carr's business to fail.

This REFERENCE, Chapter VI, pages 132-133, tabulates the 1930 Tour competitors, their airplanes and their places in the Tour. Carr and his Cabinaire placed 15th overall in the Tour. They received $200 for their efforts.

The good news is that NC17M, serial number 7, still exists and is registered with the FAA. The owner is based in Wyoming. Image, right, from the Golden Wings Museum Web site.
