Read the current thread under Pontiacs Transparent Cars and GenerL Discussion. Maybe it was an Transparent Pontiac. Rare but real.

Simple answer is no. They replace fenders and panels.

1953 Buick Super Estate wagon 4dr rocker panels, floor pans
jdome replied to SCOTT KOSLOWSKI's topic in Technical
I acquired these inner rocker panels from the estate of someone who owned 50s Buicks and Studebakers. I don't know what these Rockers belong to but may be 50-53 buick. Can anyone ID these inner rockers? They are for sale. I can deliver to Chickasha next weekend. -
As I recall, Fords were the car of choice for Loral and Hardy and Lou and Costello to destroy.

My dad tried to get one during the trial but his daily driving didn't qualify for the trial but the local dealer that was participating in the trial let my dad test drive it around town with my brother and me in the back seat. I was about 12 at the time and was interested in planes and cars and this was like both to me. There was a guy in Indianapolis who owned one of, if not only operating turbine cars. I believe he was a former Chrysler official. He used to drive it to the swap meet held at Marian County Fair grounds, near indy. It was amazing watching and hearing it drive in. It's impressive to hear it spool up, fire up and accelerate away. I saw one at Hershey about 20 years ago. I was impressed enough with turbine cars that I thought I could build one. I live near Akron, Ohio and back in the mid 70s I met a nephew of Art Arfons, who was breaking speed records at the time building turbine powered dragster. I bought a small military surplus, Aireserch turbine from them that was fun to fire up and play with but turned out to be more complicated than i thought to make that particular turbine power a car.

1940 LaSalle 52 Special - $26,600

Dash has been welded up to replace the horizontal gage cluster with modern round gages. Holes through body for bumper bars have been welded up. The car has had too much damage to bring back stock. -

I would suggest a set of curb feelers. -

1948 Cadillac 61 Sedanette - $32, 000. (Groton CT)
jdome replied to Dave Wells's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
The series 61 does not have the front fender chrome gravel guard. 62 series had a front chrome gravel guard and stainless trim on rocker panel, the 61 does not. The front gravel guard on this car doesn't look like the correct for 62 ? I suspect it was added to this car to hide a common rust spot where the splash panel behind the tire collects mud. Also the upholstery is partly redone and not correct. It should be either all gray or all tan. -
He's a young man. I have cars older than him.

1932 E-1 Cord Experimental Limousine
jdome replied to George Smolinski's topic in General Discussion
If you are into trucks, Auburn, IN. Has an interesting truck museum too. The truck museum happens to be on Gordon Buehrig St. and the ACD Museum is on some nondescript st name. If you can, time your next visit to coincide with the ACD festival. -
1957 ThunderBird convertible - $8,900 (Vallejo, CA)
jdome replied to 7th Son's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Prices on 50s cars have been declining over last couple years because the owners of the 50s generation are dieing off. Popularity of 50s cars is way down. -

If it was written up in a Hemmings rag in the 90s it must be real. Riiight ??? -
1948 346ci: Bubbles in the fuel pump sight glass.
jdome replied to Streamline Smitten's topic in Cadillac & LaSalle
The bubbles are due to air leaking into the fuel pump. Could be poor fitting somewhere between the tank and pump and rising uphill to pump, input or output fitting at pump, or diaphragm. Its can be caused by modern fuel "boiling " in the fuel line between pump and carb which then causes air to be drawn in through the loose fittings and that's what causes vapor lock. The electric fuel pump was added to overcome that back pressure caused by the bubbling. You can solve the vapor lock problem, without elect. Pump, if you correct the air leaks in fuel system and wrap the pump to carb fuel line with insulation. -
1932 E-1 Cord Experimental Limousine
jdome replied to George Smolinski's topic in General Discussion
Soooo.... are you suggesting that this car's history may be as fake as the 56 Lincoln woody cosmo. -
Looks like an Anglia, about 1948. Hot rudders can't resist chopping up Anglias and not finish them.

Too bad. Thursday was the best day. I plan to be there again from Ohio. Missed it last year. -
There has been some discussion years ago on this site about the 29 stutz radio. Do a search for "1929 Stutz car radio" and it will bring up some past threads. It might get you so.e contacts of previous researchers. One is an owner of a 29 stutz with an original radio.

1956 Lincoln Capri Sportsman. Anyone seen one of these?
jdome replied to George Smolinski's topic in General Discussion
It just doesn't suit the style of the car. Adds nothing to it.
