Life is too short, Just buy the Cadillac, make your best deal and have a car you can use and enjoy. Good luck, Gary

Couple have been identified, the car has the look of a Thomas to me. Tie rod is in front of the axle, larger hubs on the rear axle than the front, running boards. Thanks for looking. Regards, Gary

Thanks for the update. so rare to learn if a vehicle sold on these forums, Seems the fellow who bought the Buick at auction made a pretty astute purchase, Regards, Gary

I campaign a C-25, the Buicks are OK to repair, the engine was used from 1908 t0 1915. The engine is well known and uses modern Chevy pistons and valves for instance. Weak points are the rear axle and U Joint. Best of luck, Gary

Actually this is not an old photo, I snapped it at Christmas time a few years back. Gary

A four cylinder Oldsmobile Autocrat with a 1912 Cadillac on tour. Well used Autocrat, has been driven around Europe and to local restaurants, too. Regards, Gary

Seems like a pretty good deal on a decent car. A fellow could begin touring with the one cylinder bunch this summer and continue to restore the Cadillac as you like on the go. The owner says he is reasonable. Make an appointment to see the car and buy it. Life is good at 20 MPH. Gary

Mar 30th is the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter. Bev and I plan to make the hour and a half drive East along the 401 freeway to attend. Thanks for the invite. Regards, Gary

Every morning I click on the HCCA.org website, classified. My question is what happens when something sells? Recently there has been a red rectangle which declares sold, however, I haven't seen that on any ads currently displayed. Before the upgrade in the classifieds there was a button to take you to recently sold page. Does Recently Sold still exist and I missed it? Thanks, Gary

Yes, the hood can be painted black and the body a different colour in 1914 and 1915. A style which didn't become popular. Many cars which were originally done this way are changed by the restoration to be more appealing, done in one colour to suit modern tastes. Regards, Gary

While performing some winter up grades to our 1915 McLaughlin touring car and since the sun is shining, roads are dry it is hardly a winter photo at all. Two photos, the brown background is Feb 10th in Southern Ontario and the green background is the same location last July, a vacant lot at the end of my street. I would regularly say "think spring" but not necessary. Regards, Gary

Hub Cap Collector your photos and commentary answered a mystery for me. I have a small collection of mostly common parts and if anyone needs one for a vehicle they are usually given away. Just happy to have it back on the road and serving a need. That brings me to the heavy brass Buick cap with nickel plating and the nearly new aluminum cap as shown in the photograph. I now see from your posts they are a Buick and a replacement or after market cap. It never dawned on me they are the same size. Regards, Gary

Top. windshield, brakes, luxury, you people have it soft....

Thanks for letting us know the outcome and best of luck with your new car. Gary

I have a lovely German Silver, I think, flip top from the side opening rad cap. I would like to identify the make and model. Originally it had the Boyce cover plate as posted above. I've installed a working motometer, not Boyce, with a metal front cover. The backside is printed on yellowish paper. No identification on the Motometer either. I should say on the rad cap wings it had a male threaded pot metal system. I cut that off and retreaded it to fit my '15 McLaughlin, it also fits my '13 Buick. Any thoughts? Both pieces are original finish, unrestored. Gary
