Thanks for the quick ID! I guess it should be easy to find a new home for them then.

Very nice 37S2de. Are those chrome wheel covers?

I was hoping someone could offer some advice on my issue. We are trying to start our old Buick. I usually prime the vacuum tank and it starts. That is no longer working. The last time I got the car to start I slowing advanced the throttle to increase engine speed and it promptly stopped running. It has not started since. I know it is getting gas. I took the top plate off the carb and it has plenty of gas supplied to it from the vacuum tank. We also checked to ensure we are getting spark from each spark plug too. We turned the engine over and tested each plug. The plugs are clean and not dirty. I am at wits end. I have tried every trick I learned from my father. None are working. This car has been in my family since 1964. It has 7k original miles on it. I need to get it running and moved to a different garage since the home it has had since it was brought to Omaha is eventually going to be sold to settle an estate. Any advice would be appreciated..

1908 Black

On 4/24/24, the ad on Classic.cars.com was marked "SOLD" and Seller deleted the Facebook ad.

Oddball. Engine offset with trans aside. Final drive to two chain drives

Mine are missing... thought there was something wrong! Thanks guys

I think I prefer the '51 Mercury Monterey over the Lincoln Lido.

In the current Antique Automobile. this is the only known Model A 3 window coupe with the straight window. There is one slant window. talk about rare

1952 last year for the outside spare tire cover, 1937 the instrument panel was moved to in front of the driver.

I'm not sure there is any wood in the body except for the floor boards and roof which shouldn't be hard to replace. I can't remember for sure when Chrysler products went to all metal but I think it was around 1928.

It’s all perspective. I grew up with Model Ts. Did my first tour at 14 and change, Spokane to Nelson BC and back, no trailers (1978.) Now that I’m almost retired (32 days) I have every plan to go out on tour. I’ll find a car that I can drive out west, or trailer to a place and do other parts of the country. I do want a big pre16 car, but have seen this done in a Model T, EMF (10k on one tour) a Winton (32 states, etc. it can be done if you plan and prepare correctly. So perspective. Just drive it. Great history below back to the 70s. I saw these tours as a kid. Want to bring the 70s style touring back! One guys dream is another's nightmare, but I will make it happen for myself. https://www.pathfinderstranscon.com/

That's a long ad but after reading I believe the seller to be someone a buyer could trust. It's also also a car that could be purchased and driven for a long time and enjoyed. Tough to bet these Buicks for a cross country trip.

Good straight sheetmetal,obviously incomplete,will need new wood,some internals and other parts. Some lower pitting,don't see any rustout. Identification is tentative and believed correct but not guaranteed so look them over and make sure they're the ones you need before you buy. They are 30" wide on the top,a hair under 45 1/2" tall. One still has the glass hanging in it. $350 for the pair. Prefer they be picked up,can ship if necessary.

This is something that doesn't show up very often. Are they really worth the asking price in this condition.

Those push pins look correct. I can see them in the first photo of the 1926 model 40 with the original interior.

1937 Studebaker President rumble seat coupe. Studebaker made 133 of these . I have bought and sold this car twice. I loved buying it each time and regretted selling it each time. The first time I bought it was in 1985. I was living and working in Virginia and the company I was working for transferred me to Louisiana. I just had too many antiques. I kept the ‘63 Avanti and the ‘58 Porsche and the ‘38 Oldsmobile and sold the ‘37 Studebaker and immediately knew I made a mistake. I kept track of it and was able to buy it back in 1994 or 1995. During that ownership I did a complete, bare frame, restoration. I took it to the 2015 Studebaker International meet in St Louis and foolishly allowed myself to be talked out of it. I know where it is and have told the current owner that I might be interested if he ever decides to part with it, but I’ve been downsizing recently, so I know that that is probably just not gonna happen. Sure shouldn’t have sold it that second time. Tom

That's a lot better than my 30 DeSoto was getting. Haven't checked it in a long time.

Here is Jay Leno's take on the 1950 Nash Ambassador

Things get very repetitive around here because people keep posting the same photos over and over again. But we have previously reviewed the story behind this plate. It belonged to James M. Curley, long-time Boston mayor and one-time governor of Massachusetts. Here's the story of how he got it: https://www.jphs.org/people/2005/4/14/james-michael-curley-and-the-5-license-plate.html#gsc.tab=0

I'm looking for a set of 215/75-14 narrow (3/8") white wall tires for my 1972 Grand Prix. I gave up on Coker years ago after getting a set of square tires. I've used Diamondback for years and have had good luck except for the recent set of white walls I bought from them. I understand they've had trouble lately with tire balance, which is the problem I'm having. Does anyone know of a good source for quality narrow white wall tires?>

This the best depiction of the Teves pump and system but it lacks the internals of the switch. The holes may just be needed for assembly?? I just don't know.
