I looked through two hood ornament,mascot books tonight and couldn't see it. It may be from one of the more limited production big trucks.

If you noticed the side roof rails are made up of pieces nailed with blocks in between the roof bows. Roof bows are all uneven heights. The side roof rail pieces aren’t even flush with the height of the metal in some places while others they’re too high. The rear roof upper rail is not under the nailing ovals in the sheet metal so there is no wood to nail the roof in. The outer edge of the drivers side roof rail is not wide enough to support the nail line for the roof edge and the installer hammered in the steel to fill the space left at the front of the roof header. What are your thoughts on this work?

If someone bought it all or even most of it, they would get an even better price !! I only bought it for the Wire Wheels & I hate junking any early parts ... but the clock is ticking & China is getting closer & closer ....

I had speaking with a customer with a 31 caddy who mentioned he also had a 30 Nash. He wanted to send me the Caddy and told me the Nash was out in Ohio where the body wood was being replaced by a guy considered one of the best. The guy ended up finishing the wood work so the owner called ad said he wanted to send me the Nash first. We discussed that the car would be a driver restoration and the owner mentioned some specific issues the car had because of a previous owner’s decision to cut out the rear of the car but I told him I was willing to look at the car and attempt to get it back together. The car arrived this past weekend end and I got a better look at the car. While I knew of the metal work issues i was assured the wood was expertly replaced to the tune of thousands by “one of the best in the business “! After looking at the car i called the owner to discuss. Have a look at the pictures and post what you think.

Thanks!

The land behind these homes is where they built the engines for the B29 Superfortress , and after the war Tucker used the factory to build his cars. This is on the southwest side of Chicago. Some of the buildings still exist and a portion of the property is currently a shopping mall.

That's the same one from this thread. Look at the rust pattern.

I love my NYer and if it “evaporated” I would be on this one in a heartbeat. I have nearly that $$$ in mine including full sorting and new radials. I use it almost daily.

It's about 3" long. I'll start it up and hear how it sounds.

NO thank you , Man you must of had your hands full one show is probably tough ,but 2 shows WOW . I had the best time. I did not realize how lucky it was to have 2 show in one spot, But not only that but 2 shows with perfect weather , I cant wait till the next show In Upstate NY in June . See all you folks there

It's for a 35 Buick 40 series 233 engine exhaust manifold.Thanks.

I'm just a collector of early unusual plugs, but I do have a box full of misc ACs I'll take a look but it'll take me a few days until I have a chance. Terry

Take it to your hardware store or brake shop and match it up.

1967s are B Models, 1968 are C Models. The VIN tags are screwed on.

There really is a place called Pahrump? That's as unusual as Soddy Daisy. The red and black steering wheel is really out of place. I like these cars, but that beige is really bland.

OK, if this car is forgery, how was it assembled and from what parts? Wouldn't the builder have to start with Tucker parts? Or, were Tucker-like parts fabricated? I've seen this car for sale before. I had a feeling it was bogus from the start.

I use mechanical Bosch water temp gauge and mechanical oil pressure gauges. Fitted where the ash tray was once located. When Idiot lights turn on I view the signal as “ too late.” Actually, I regard mechanical gauges more accurate and easier to install. In summation : to each his own. Later Gator

Actually I put the strut on correctly. It turns out there is a lot of slop in the in way I put it on above. The steering column goes up about a half inch which corrects the alignment problem.
