My all original 1929 dual cowl phaeton does not have anything that looked like that. It does have 2 Cadillac script side mount mirrors with Cadillac script small padlock's to keep them from being stolen. brasscarguy

What is the story behind your “handle”?
brasscarguy replied to victorialynn2's topic in General Discussion
Mine is obvious. I've owned and collected brass cars since I was 14, I'm now 80. However since I have recently purchased another brass t with a very unusual racing engine I am going to change my name here. When I purchased this car it came with a gold guilt framed sign, which fit in with the car, "Dr Gallivan" My new 1915 T roadster has a Gallivan dual overhead cam model t racing engine with magneto ignition and 2 very large Winfields. This car has been clocked by the Washington State Patrol at 113 miles per hour, no not by me, but the original restorer back in the late 50's. One of 7 made in the mid 20's. brasscarguy/Dr Gallivan!! -
antique packard twin six parts-engine transmission?
brasscarguy replied to stephen cathey's topic in General Discussion
Did you ever see the twin six limousine in the museum in Ft Lauderdale? I restored that car.. I sold it to Authur Stone, he owned the museum. My wife and I shipped it to Warren Ohio for the 100th anniversary of the founding of Packard. Out of 1200 Packards, from all over the world, We took first place in class and won 1st place in Peoples choice! Not bad for a back yard restoration. I might have a few pieces around not sure. Might even have some literature. Will check it out and let you know. brasscarguy -
antique packard twin six parts-engine transmission?
brasscarguy replied to stephen cathey's topic in General Discussion
Having restored a Packard twin six limo, I'm very knowledgeable regarding engines and mechanical parts. I live in Western Washington and would be glad to check it out with you. Several parts are unobtanium. For example the fan is cast aluminum and if not broken is a very desirable. The carburetor and aluminum intake are sot after if useable. The starter and generator are good items. contact me brasscarguy@comcast.net -
Were you ever gifted a vehicle of significant value ?
brasscarguy replied to Restorer32's topic in General Discussion
My father had a really nice collection of brass cars and classics when he died. When the estate was distributed my brother and I each got our pick of one each, me 1st then my brother. My wife at the time loved the 1930 yellow model a Phaeton restored, and my brother picked a 1929 Rolls Royce Sedanca Deville all original with 25,000 miles. My wife hated the Rolls she thought it was a funeral car. Still have the model a, brother has the Rolls. Oh, don't have that wife any more. brasscarguy -

1954 Kaiser Darrin for Sale
brasscarguy replied to nick8086's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I have a friend that had 2 Darren's in Seattle. One was all original and the other had a blown engine. My friend was an incredible mechanic and fabricator. The blown engine Darren ended up with a 6 cylinder twin cam Maserati engine and transmission installed. That combination made the ol' Darren get up and scoot. Not sure what happened to it after he passed. brasscarguy -

Back in the day when I was a kid in a automotive shop, the old timers had a fool proof way to test condensers. Again the good old days everyone wore coveralls. So the old guys would charge a condenser and drop in into the side pockets of the 'new kids' coveralls. The next morning when the kid put the coveralls on he naturally shoved his hands into the side pockets the get them straightened out. ZAP ZAP!!!!!!! he got the shock of his life!!!! no harm just a great laugh for the older guys to start their day. just sayin' brasscarguy
