The roadster PU is a 1932 or 33 Ford model. But a rather sad one unfortunately [if its not a bitsa]. The headlights appear to have sealed conversions. I have an identical pic of a beautifully restored one. The wheels appear to be different sizes from

Look, we could put controls on what cars we drive, and maybe even ban cars altogether, but it would make NO difference! There is China and India out there, almost one third of the worlds population! And have you seen their skyline lately?! They do no

Who buys NEW cars? I bought a 1970 Pontiac Le Mans, a 1976 Ford F-150 and a 1986 Ford Station Wagon all NEW at the time. At 57 I can't see any NEW vehicle for the rest of my lifetime.

Thanks for the suggestion brh! I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I'm relatively certain it is not the battery because the first thing I tried when it first would not start was jumping the car, but that did not help. I also ran a few tests on the batt

Mike, Those early Zephyrs are somewhat hot, if well marketed. The four door Chrysler Airflows, the Zephyrs, the big Nashs (which had hints of streamlining) are doing well. BUT I have to ask what your expectations are? There are some hobbyists that
