  1. This forum attracts some really ugly people.
  2. Alan, are you going to make caps for the 30?
  3. On October 24, 1929 the net worth of many dropped 80%.
  4. As I recall, Tom Lester had a very early Renault Limo painted that color which was featured on the cover of either the VMCCA or HCCA publication. It worked on that machine.
  5. WTB: Stone guard 1107 Sedan Thank you. John
  6. The hobby is comprised of folks that enjoy looking at and driving old cars and those who enjoy others looking at their old cars not being driven.
  7. Need help. Anyone have patterns, drawings or specs for 1939 junior bumper brackets with trunk rack that they are willing to share? Thanks very much John
  8. I feel compelled to respond to the less than positive comments on that amazing Packard and other one of a kind great car finds. Not too many cars out there as good as a custom 8 Packard. Not every car warrants a body off, ground up pebble beach restoration. Assuming that the doors are not falling off and the wood is stable, any car guy dad could enjoy fixing up that great car with his kids and proudly driving it around with them and his bride. It would be the talk of every town. In my opinion the question is whether one considers an antique car as investment or an avocation. Is there value to a golf club membership? What is the ROI on that expense? How about the ROI of professional sport's attendance? How about ROI of European vacations or cruises? Not everything makes sense from an ROI perspective. However one difference is, should one spend a dollar on fixing that car, one still has the car whereas the meal plan of a golf club membership is, well, down the drain.
  9. Of course I cannot see what engine is in it, but the hood is way too long for a Mercer. Even the six cylinder cars had the same short hoods as on the L Head fours. JR
  10. Absolutely not Mercer under any circumstance
  11. I was referring to the car with dual spares in front of the Cadillac mentioned by Ryder in a prior observation. Thanks.
