You can't find unmolested 32 - 60 Fords anymore. Hotrod engines or Chevy swaps, chopped tops, wrong or custom interiors, wrong wheels/hubcaps, modified chassis, custom paint. Pick any 2 or more and that's what's for sale.

Is pearl gray metallic? Silver or aluminum? Silver engine paints were used as early as 1903 on some makes.

This one is cute but squash it before it gets into your vegetables or woodwork.

V12 cadillac were 146 wb. V16 were 154.

I like the 57 Dodge 2dr hardtop. Is that "TAXI" sign attached to the roof or just sitting there. Don't think I ever saw a 2dr taxi. Is it for sale too?

40 years of marriage will do that to you without the tool.

You can also contact Mel at Mel's Leather in Jeromesville Ohio. I was just there today to pick up a top socket he repaired for me.

I like it better without the sidemounts

Marketed for 50s and 60s but looks like what I am looking for for late 40s Ford.

Clark Equipment, who I believe is still in business building fork lifts and aircraft tow motors and the like, built a 42 passenger railcar prototype, "Autotram" powered by a Cadillac ohv V16. Couldn't sell it and never went into production.

Did you try SMS ?

And remove the dice.

The Fiat in the original post doesn't look like a Ferrari either. Not my idea of a Ferrari. It will end up as a "Chevy Fiat Impala "

I see several bare spots that look like all the good cars have recently been removed.

Why not just buy a chevy impala and save yourself a lot of aggravation?

The material looks European, German maybe?

Can you stitch broken pieces back together? I thought stitching was only good for filling cracks.

Is massage spelled wrong in the ad ?

On a related issue, replace your shop/garage florescent tubes with LED tubs. I replaced 24 - eight ft tubes at work 10 years ago and haven't had a single failure or dimming. Those lights are on at least 10 hrs a day 6 days per week. We have 20ft ceilings and put in daylight brightness. Soft white are available and might be better on lower ceilings. Huge difference between daylight LED and dim yellow florescents, but they will really improve the lighting in your shop. You can buy LED tubes that can plug directly into balast/transformer fixtures or tubes that can be wired direct to 110. I chose to rewire our fixtures to use 110 v LED. Ballasts can go bad and get hot and may be a fire hazard.

The little square LED chips that make up the replacement bulbs are typically 3 volt with proper voltage reduction built in. Some very in brightnes by voltage but I assume the LEDs used in automotive application are the Schottky type, meaning that once the voltage reaches a threshold, it comes on at full brightness. Any fluctuation in voltage above or below the threshold will not effect brightness, so lights do not dim as the generator rpms slow to idle. There are direct plug in replacements (no modification required) for the some of the common vintage auto bulbs, but you have to order the correct replacement for your cars battery system. Restoration Supply has a chart of direct replacement LED bulbs listed by the old incandescent bulb #, voltage, and ground polarity. Example: Old bulb #1154, double offset base is available for application: 6 volt - gnd. order part # ELE456. 6 volt + gnd. Order part # ELE 457. 12 volt - and. Order part # ELE458. As a side note. Most 6v tail light buckets do not have reflectors. Paint the inside of buckets and socket bracket hardware with gloss white enamel. Gloss white will create a brighter, rose glow that not only improves night visibility but also creates a brighter brake light contrast in daylight.

Perry Mason often had high end Deluxe model cars he or his girl Friday or clients drove. The chief of detectives he was always sparing with drove a 58 Buick 2-dr hardtop with a continental kit.

Brass cars were THE antique cars in the 50s. 30s, 40s, cars were used cars.

It's a 32 model A at a v8 price. It may be for sale for awhile. But if it was listed $10,000 lower , some hotrodder would chop the top and drop a chevy 350 in it.

That is an odd spark plug and valve configuration. I'd like to see more photos of the engine and head if you care to post more. I have a 1-cyl Cadillac which has an odd arrangement too. The plug and exhaust valve are overhead but the intake valve is "over there" on the mixer casting.

Not with that interior. As cheap as the interior looks makes me wonder how cheaply the paint and body work etc. was done.
