Captain Harley

Welcome aboard and nice car. I've owned two '29 Chevy's in the past. They were both original cars (except for paint/tires) and never really needed a lot of work. Introduce yourself and car at the Chevrolet section of this forum. Also I found a load of good info, advice and people from the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America. Commonly called the "VCCA" look them up on the internet.😊 Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not car Fenders"

"...on steroids." Is more or less how I would describe the overall resemblance of the Lincoln to the Model-A. I have never driven a '28-'31 Lincoln, but I have been told they drive like a truck. I would still like to own and drive one. And, yes I have done some miles in Model-A's. They are a fun and economical car to own and drive. ☺️ Captain Harley 😜 "Skirts are for Women and not Car Fenders"

Check out the super rare 1929 Model A Ford Town Car in the back ground to the right of the Lincoln. 1928 through 1931 Lincolns were nothing more then Model-A Fords on steroids. I am saying this in respect for both the cars. Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

If it was my car. As it sits I'd make sure it was safe to drive...and..then drive the hell out of it! Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

I think Chevrolet actually offered a paint scheme that you mentioned. With dark brown fenders & splash aprons for the '31 roadsters. I've owned two original '29 Chevy's over the years. The first in '66 when I was 15 and again in the late 90's. Great cars the only things that were not original was the paint and tires.😊 Capt. Harley 😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

Actually it was listed on eBay a while back and not Hemmings like I stated. The years are catching up to me.☹️ Same here, I would have just touched it up and done what ever it took to make it save to drive. Who ever won the auction sure did get a good deal!😂 Capt.

Thanks CarNucopia! The Landau was for sale in Hemmings some time back. I wanted to check it out back then, but it was to far away. Plus, I have no place to properly store it which is why I did not try and bid on it. I hope the new owner takes care of it and does not make a "you-know-what" out of it.😢 Thanks again.☺️ Capt.

The Mecum auction for the 14th (today) was run from 12 AM to 6 AM this morning on TV!?! I missed it and I would like to know what the '31 Chevy Landau Phaeton went for? If the Mecum Auction website lists it, I could not find it. Thanks in advance....🙂 Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

There is a car in the auction that I would like to bid on. However, at the present time I have no where to put it....😭 Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

Legal 1928A1 Thompson. No 20's-30's well appointed gangster would be without one!🤩 Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

Hey, about the only reason I keep cable TV. Is to watch TCM for the old cars. Not to long ago I caught I guess a "B" movie made about 1930-31. The lead male actor drove a 1931 Packard 840 Cabriolet and the lead female actress drove a 30-31 Cadillac V-16 Cabriolet! Yow'za!! 😂 Capt. Harley 😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

Harley-Davidson used Philips head screws on its 1936 Knucklehead. Socket head screws were first patented around 1912 I believe.☺️ Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

When I'm closing up my shop for the day. I always say good night to my two girls: "Virginia" a 1931 Model-A Ford roadster and "The Phantom" my mild custom '65 HD Panhead.😄 Capt. Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"

Wow! A 740-745 Packard with fully chrome/stainless steel wire wheels, back-in-the-day! Capt. Harley 😉 "Skirts are for Women not car fenders"

My dad (1915-2004) told me once that when "Fire-Ball" Roberts died and the big buck teams took over: NASCAR also died. He knew "Fire-Ball", Smokey and Bill France personally. Capt Harley😉 "Skirts are for Women not Car Fenders"
