  1. I just had eight "High Bay" LED lamps installed during rebuilding my shop destroyed in Hurricane Ian. I had previously replaced the sixteen fluorescent tubes with LED's, but with the high ceilings, the High Bay lamps are a huge improvement. Sloping ceiling is 14' at the low end, 32' at the high end.

  2. "It doesn't cost anything to be nice." Try it, you may like it, or get a job or hobby that doesn't involve human interaction. Sixty-five years of owning and enjoying old cars.
  3. Many, if not most cars have an Identification Plate, typically on the firewall that would give the manufacturer's name and location. If not on the engine side, check the inside. Regards, Henry Feinberg
  4. It is a nice looking car, but it's been on the market a L--O--N--G time. Maybe the market is speaking about the price.
  5. WANTED: Does anyone have or know of a nice 180A DeLuxe Phaeton for sale? Please PM me if you can help. Henry F.
  6. It was advertised in Cincinnati a few years ago and then moved to FL. I saw it at the Venice, FL AACA show earlier this year. It's a fairly nice car but IMHO, optimistically priced, or I would own it!
  7. There is no such thing as a "cheap" Rolls-Royce. Just ask anyone who bought a cheap one. Hank Feinberg
  8. This probably isn't the right place for this question, but I'm having trouble finding an enclosed shipper to transport a car from the Calgary, Alberta area to Ft. Myers, FL. Does anyone have any recommendations on who to contact? I've used Reliable Transport in the US, but they said no to Calgary. Thank you. Henry Feinberg
  9. Row C2F staring at Spaces 51 - 54 and beyond in that row. We're across from Universal Tire. Lots of items for sale and the friendly guys at C2F 53 are known to buy your left over parts. Looking for a 1926 or older R-R Silver Ghost, too. Stop by, we have other make parts, too. Hank, Dale and other AACA & RROC Friends

  11. Yes. Thank you. What Have You? in Chicago this weekend looking at a car. you can email info to oldcars1959@gmail.com Regards, Henry
  12. Is the 1966 Title a "souvenir" when it was transferred to you? Asking only because the overstrike for the year would or could be a problem is some states. Otherwise, what a nice car!
  13. East Chicago is in Indiana. Close to Illinois, but not in it. I think that I may have seen this car on the road, but haven't been back in NW IN since before the Pandemic. BTW We all carry BIG HAMMERS up there, just in case. Looks like a nice driver for someone. Henry Feinberg
  14. Looks like a fairly nice car although this was probably the best photo. Major ouch on a front fender. Follow the link to see more.
  15. Thanks for your message. Yes, Al, different criterion. Many, if not most cars on the market are for sale by brokers. Not only does that put another layer of profit on a car, it's difficult, often impossible to get detailed history from the agent or owner. I date back to buying antique cars in the late 1950's and although my enthusiasm remains, buying and selling has changed. Although we've owned several, OK many, Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, we've never had a Silver Ghost and the clock is ticking. We're willing to step up to the plate for the right car, but there are Ghosts that have been for sale for a few years and my educated guess is that they're just priced too high. We're hoping for a Ghost, or a Springfield P-I like we did own for many years, at 2023 pricing. Time will tell if my theory pans out.

  16. Wanted to buy a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost or a Phantom I. Please PM me if you have or know of one for sale. Thank you. Hank Feinberg
  17. Love it! Reminds me so much of my '29 Oakland, over sixty years ago!
  18. I believe that the late Silver Ghost cars would have been furnished with 21" or 20" wheels, and either "short" 143-1/2" or "long" 147-1/2" wheelbase. My very early Springfield Phantom I was supplied with 20" wheels but were changed to 19" when it was refitted with a new body in 1933. From the looks of the tire tread on the Silver Ghost in question, they look like 20' truck tires, but they could be 19". The idea was to give mid-1920's cars a more contemporary, lower look in the early 1930's. I wish that our Springfield expert would ease up on this car. It's a truly unique example of a late Springfield Silver Ghost that's very complete and certainly worth saving. The costs of saving it are probably beyond the means of 99+% of us, but why bad mouth it by calling it a parts car? I don't show my credentials on every post, but I'm at 62 years in the hobby, 55 years in the Rolls-Royce Owners Club, a life member of AACA, and 50+ years at Hershey, so these are some facts flavored with my humble opinion. Henry Feinberg Ft. Myers, FL BTW I recommend another book, The American Rolls-Royce by Arthur W. Soutter, published in 1976. Long out of print but worth searching for a copy.
  19. NOW FOR SALE ON E-BAY WITH NO RESERVE. It's going to sell.
