Linoleum is still available at most flooring stores it goes by the name Marmoleum. Available in multiple colors including grey and black. I bought a remnant in dark navy blue. https://www.greenflooringsupply.com/collections/marmoleum?matchtype=e&network=o&device=c&keyword=Marmoleum&campaign=590135196&adgroup=1151190323303917&identifiers=kwd-71950068619976:loc-4119&Campaign=**LP - NonTM - Marmoleum&CampaignId=590135196&AdGroup=Marmoleum&AdGroupId=1151190323303917&AdId=71949539028853&Network=o&msclkid=c17ca2483db614a67c33c463e6e9dcd5&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP - NonTM - Marmoleum&utm_term=Marmoleum&utm_content=Marmoleum

the red car was originaly marketing as the Golden Seal that Race Indy in 1932 and 1933. Has Nothing to do with that car at all. Nonetheless, is a beautiful car and looks well done...but is, obviously not the original that raced in Indy and not even a replica of that car. Engine, tranmission, chassis, body, axles...everything in the Red Chrysler is different to the green one in Hershey and the original car. Only similarity is the #14

The Turbo 200s were bad about the lock-up switch failing and the cars stalling every time they came to a stop. About a $30.00 switch at that time. Sold lots of them in the 1990s. NTX5467

I spent a year in a tank battalion and went to Germany for Reforager in 1974. I remember a German driver in a VW bluffed one of our tanks off the road! They were aggressive!!! A jeep on the Autobahn was quite an experience.

HI, has anyone tried to clean these filters before? Is that an idea or crazy....?

Has anyone heard anything about this unit?

I have what appears to be an OE '66 oil pressure sender. If you're interested, send me a PM Ed

All - Coker tire will make a run of 33 x 5 or 32 x 4 1/2 GRAY tires if there is enough interest in them. This size fits the quite common Buffalo/Houk 23” rim used on many high end cars in the teens and twenties. I am trying to get the word out because I need those tires made. If you are interested in dressing up your car in gray tires, please call Steve at Coker tire, and extension 252. Once he gets a handful of commitments, they can make this size run. Thanks, Ron Hausmann p.E.

VA and NC outlawed it a couple years ago after some fatality crashes where the squat truck driver couldn't see the smaller vehicle he was about to hit and run over. Normally I don't care what people do with their personal vehicles but a Squat is a real hazard to whatever it's sharing the road with. Mmph. Senior Week at Myrtle Beach coming up. I have a feeling a lot of 2024 high school graduates who have squat trucks are gonna leave their graduation money with the Myrtle Beach PD because, as I tell these kids every year, Myrtle Beach cops love an out-of-town boy's money!🤑

If it ends up at an estate auction, it could be an opportunity! Here's the ad text: Listing ahead of future estate sale, Dodge Brothers 1928 Victory Sedan that’s halfway restored with a frame refinished and powder coated, new flathead engine, a ton of new parts, refinished wooden wheels, tires, and a ton more. This antique car once finished, will be very nice and will last for another 100 years. It hasn’t been registered since the 50s, the body is in decent shape has some surface rust but no holes or damage, so theoretically could be put back together as is but it’s ready to be fully restored now. Over $12k in parts and work has been invested. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to so I am listing it to gage interest.

gene has everything for the first generation, the man and the chat are priceless

First, I know nothing about AC systems, including terminology. I ordered a new filter dryer for a Mercedes-Benz 380SL. The original dryer has a brass fitting with a pigtail that threads into the filter. On the new filter, the threads are not the same. The new filter is supplied with a plug for the above threaded port. The question is: 1: What’s the brass fitting with the pigtail? 2: Can I just tap threads into the plug and thread the brass fitting into the plug? There’s plenty of meat for the threads, it’s a question of proper function.

Would this work with a 29 standard

I saw a nice 1917 Winton for sale on PreWarCars recently. No idea where it was located or the price. Could almost be the one on the Dennis The Menace episode, though wrong year. Bernie Golias would know about this one, probably. Everybody's been to the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin I mentioned in my last post, right?. If not, they're just on the fringes of antique car collecting. 🙂 Centrally located, halfway between the Fountainhead Museum and the Gilmore Car Museum, and right on the same four-lane that goes through Las Vegas ( just 1,427 miles north ). 😮 Seriously, Stan Reynolds had a huge car collection, perhaps a thousand vehicles, and he set about preserving much of it much more successfully than a lot of collectors. He went to the government and said why don't you give me 20 million and build a state of the art museum and I'll give you your choice of my cars (and trucks and tractors and aircraft)...then the province of Alberta will have a visitor attraction between its two largest cities and the bulk of my collection won't disappear when I die.* Like some of the Harrah Collection; the 140-car Mullin Automotive Museum; the Tupelo, Mississippi collection of Frank Spain's; and the Hostetler Hudson collection in Indiana. * I'm paraphrasing, but that's the gist of it. The province was flying high in petro-dollars and the money was there.

In remarkably good condition. No AC in Georgia must be a tough sell. Not too far gone yet! Last pure Exner Imperial. I always liked these with their electroluminescent dash. Not a fan of the four door, but not a bad deal.

Some time ago, a friend gave a Pontiac Bonneville with around 300K miles on it. I was talking to my Brother and mentioned that I got a "new" car. He asked me how much I paid for it. I said, "nothing, it was free". He said, "that much, huh"? That comment confused me until I'd owned the car for a very short while.

Mercman, what was this Australian LTD based on? Aus Falcon?

Ok, time for more dumb questions. I'm trying to figure out this fender skirt puzzle. I have the gravel guards that are supposed to go with the skirts. They have stainless trim on them and a body-colored cap that goes on top. I know that the standard gravel guards have a tab that you twist over to secure them to the fender, but these don't. The cap does, but the guards themselves don't. They have some mounting holes, and I was able to line them up with holes in the fender. But I just can't figure out the fastener system. It seems like maybe there was a t-nut that also held the stainless trim? Any thoughts prayers or pictures from someone who knows would be greatly appreciated. The parts manual shows the main parts but not the fasteners. I am stumped. I probably could make something up, but I'd like to find the correct system first.; especially because if these fall off, I'll probably never find another set. Hopefully my pictures don't confuse the issue more.

Yesterday was a big day for me and my 38 Buick. The Buick is running, and quite well to say the least. Pressing the gas peddle to the floor three times set the choke on the front carb and the engine starts right up, staying on a fast idle until the throttle is depressed. The exhaust with the dual chambered muffler is very quite, sounds like a V8 🤤.. I should add that the car had a large glass pack muffler with a small 1.5 inch tail pipe, The exhaust was quite laud, like a truck. It will a few more days before the 38 is road ready, few little adjustments have to be made. I like the black wall tires in lieu of the wide whites the car had when I bought it. The original spare tie was still the trunk when I bought the car, it was gray with pin strips. i decided to paint whe wheels gray. I thought about red, then said no, lets keep things as close to factory original as possible. Looking at the rear of the car you can just barely note the dual exhaust tips. I used tips that slightly turn down, to down play the dual exhausts, which would lead the average person to think the car has a V8 in lieu of a straight eight. Wm.

I'm in Ohio and if it is available for sale I would be interested. I like cars I don't have to chase across the country. Not knowing what the mechanics are like, I'd like to see the car first. Franklin's are not easy to rebuild and no one is making parts for these like you can find for other more common/popular makes. I'm not a flipper but, I don't think there is any margin in the price.. you can contact me by PM if you like

I would say a 47 Convertible would be a good buy if it was in that shape at that price.

Be sure to take a lot of pictures of it sitting on the trailer or flatbed for advertising. That method of marketing seems to be quite popular these days.

If will not be a tour car the lip seal should last a long time if the bearing surfaces are not that sloppy. Since I drive my 1925s I wanted the sealed units. It is a lot of work to do these! I made 3 so far. Just the amount of aluminum scrap generated turning down the hub core is intimidating.
