This is what I've figured out. There is no middle class anymore in the collector car hobby. There are guys that will buy the dirt cheap project version of a car and there are guys that will be the best example of a car but there is nobody to buy a really nice car with flaws. The blue car has the matching head in the trunk and is a color change. It is half the price of a perfect car and twice the price of a basket case. No man's land.

Have you owned the same car more than once?

This '70 Plymouth wagon - bought, then traded for body work on another car. Body man did the work on the wagon while he had it then turned his interest to another car and wanted the money out the wagon and back it came.... Next time it's sold it will be with a no return policy! Don't get me wrong, I like the car but at this point I like space even better! -

I made one this afternoon thanks to your pictures.Hobby Lobby was to only place I found locally that had the cooper.It's a little shorter than yours as they only have 4" x 10" sheets but I think it will work. Thanks.Greg -
Better bookkeeping of vehicle documentation would cut down tremendously on lost-title drama. One takeaway from this discussion should be that all the paperwork for our vehicles is completely squared away. The location of the documents should also be made known to family and friends to make things easier for them should you check-out of the hotel known as life.

Period images to relieve some of the stress
Walt G replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
Outstanding looking Buick 2 door sedan/coach. Love the colors too. Great harmony of style and design - how the headlamps compliment the style of the radiator shell and the cowl lights echo the headlamps. Naysayers will probably question the white wall tires but to me the whole car "works" as a unit and the car does not have any added lamps etc to accent anything - doesn't need it. Thanks Larry.

Gotta remember that rocks and rust were invented several years after I took science classes in high school. But, while thinking of a similarly matured AACA member “Rusty O’Toole”, I recalled that “fe” was in some way related to the way metal acts, and I now suppose your use of fe203 must allude to the natural decomposition of steel while returning to its natural state. I must apologize on grasping the meaning of the second elemental symbol, but my bet is that it lives close to the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3. (TNT) though. Jack

A Pre War Car - Funny noise - But no one is laughing! 1936 Packard
edinmass replied to edinmass's topic in General Discussion
Interestingly the trans was rebuilt 8 years ago. I'm assuming metal fatigue.....I wonder if the high speed rear end is putting more stress on the gear? Anyway, they obvisously had issues, as the new part is certainly an upgrade. It's a pleasure working on stuff that has part availability........it's a new experience for me. Last week it was V-16 transmissions and every part is make it from scratch as you go along. Just add time and money. I'm starting to be a fan of the 120 Series Packard. It's built similar to the Buick, and is a perfect size for surface roads down here year round. The big boy toys don't fit into most parking spaces anymore. More tomorrow......Ed
