I noticed a very big difference when I installed radial tires on my ‘48. Much easier than bias tires. The trick is to get moving, even a little bit and steering is much easier. Or…I maybe I have he-man arms…..🏋️‍♀️

I love my NYer and if it “evaporated” I would be on this one in a heartbeat. I have nearly that $$$ in mine including full sorting and new radials. I use it almost daily.

This morning I removed the front floor pan on my 1948 Chrysler. Most happy that this car is rust free, having spent along time in California. Easy to take thing apart. The plan is to service the fluid clutch, transmission, and to snoop around for any other things I can tangle with. Then on to the main purpose for this mission, that is the replacement of the master brake cylinder. First and foremost in my plan is to CLEAN everything that I can access as I do not enjoy working on a greasy dirty mess.

@Steve_Mack_CT About three mornings (8-9 hrs) to install a RI harness in my 1948 Packard SS. It cost $1200 back in 2014. I would think your Packard would be a little less complicated but nonetheless challenging. The RI harness was nothing short of excellent.

I was shopping for an improved Ford Touring (1926-27) last fall. I had a choice of several nice ones under 10K, all within 250 miles of my home. There are many out there, this one is priced way at the upper end.

It is offered at $39,500 on their website.

Speedsters are very personalized vehicles and somewhat a tough sell….I speak from personal experience. This is a nice one . All the money is in the motor on this one.

You need to get in contact with someone nearby who knows Model T’s. Perhaps there is a local club near, GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND and easily will locate a nearby group. Here is one result I found: Model T Ford Club of Central Florida Contact ... 1243 17th Ave. Lake Worth, FL 33460

Starter, spins freely, good condition, $150 INCLUDES postage on the continental USA. According to Hollander it is a direct bolt in for the following cars: 1930 Chrysler 6 cyl. 1930 DeSoto 6 & 8 cyl. 1931 DeSoto 8 cyl. 1930 Dodge 6 & 8 cyl. 1929-1932 Plymouth Contact [scampoutatcomcastdotnet] or PMO

Here’s the pictures…….asking $13,050

I read an interesting article about the building of this car on the PWC website. Quite an engineering feat!

Exactly what does “ready for restoration” mean???

SOLD

Seems like an awfully low price for one of these🤔. 10-15 Years ago a man in LaCrosse Wis. had one of these F/S. I think it sold for about 29K. I do like this one!

I know the seller and he definitely a straight up guy, you would know exactly what you would be buying. I have bought two cars from him over the years and I have been 100% satisfied.

Great car, great story…. I love the pinstriping! Welcome aboard, a great group of people populate this forum.

Finished my winter detailing on the ‘48 NY’er, drove it outside for a picture. Another beautiful day in Minnesota today! (posted on April 1…… hmmmmm…..lots of flowers eh?)

No, Thank You……..

The last of the Mopar flat head sixes in passenger cars? Looks funny in such a later model car.

@flackmaster Pump is tagged as Hollander #41. If you have a pic of the correct pump I would like to see it. Please send via PM. Thank You!

@neil morse Mine had a hydraulic top, I cannot remember what it all looked like under the hood. I sold it in 1983. Looks like a reservoir on the right firewall and the switch on the left.

A very handsome car…..I’m afraid if I test drove one of these I would never drive a Ford Model A again! I think I would be hooked……

Beautiful car! I restored one of these back in the early 80’s. The interior style looks correct but I did not recall an interior in that color being available. Mine car was crème w/ grey upholstery and black bolsters.

Looks pretty clean for 4K

To sum up my thoughts in few words……..YES! Your truck has an identifiable past life, it must be honored!
