Here's one I found on line. It's the safest way to go for your cell phone.
Logo Lites USB Charge Port provides two independent “Dedicated Charge Ports” which are compatible with all the popular models of smart phones and tablets on the market. This product uses a really smart combination of factors including voltage and engine electrical noise to decide when to turn on and when to turn off. When it is turned off, it will not discharge your battery because it draws less than 0.0001 Amp of current. It has a green LED to tell you when it is running. The emergency override is easy to use too. Just press and hold the big red button for 10 seconds and the charge ports turn on even if the vehicle is off.
Logo Lites USB Charge Port is easy to install in just about any antique vehicle with two mounting screws or the new magnetic mount and just two wires to connect to the electrical system. For Model A Ford owners, it mounts directly to an A-Plate. Using an A-Plate, the USB Charge Port installs and is ready to use in just a few minutes with no hassles. Even better, putting your USB Charge Port on an A-Plate puts your charging ports in a hidden but easy to get to place.
If you drive your antique car, truck, or military vehicle and want the modern conveniences like charging your cell phone or using GPS navigation, then the Logo Lites USB Charge Port is a must-have product.
ORDER ONLINEHIGHLIGHTSSPECSVIDEOSMANUALSI've had this in my 28 Whippet for almost 3 years. No problems, 6v neg ground.
I used their A-plate and have their turn signal and brake and run setup as well.
Never a problem.

Good to know.
Thanks

The decal you show is not a water decal. That decal probably got old and flaked off because of time and temperature.
I agree that heat might be your enemy.
I always put my water-slide decal on clean-dry area then let dry thoroughly. Lately I've used Rustoleum clear enamel to seal the edges and it dries to touch in less than 30 minutes.
Maybe switch to a standard Avery adhesive label if heat is a concern. I've had good luck, so far, with this.
You can not have white ink on a water decal label. You'd have to pre-paint that area white for it to work.
Good Luck

I'm working on getting a 1925 Sterling-Knight back on the road and encountered a fuel gauge that is falling apart. I thought maybe I could repair it but the lever indicating supply or reserve was missing. So I went on the forum and made a search for what the lever might look like and ...low and behold I found the exact gauge in this post. I knew many manufacturers borrowed parts to make their cars but I am thrilled to find the gauge.
The AACA Forum is GREAT.
Thanks,
Bill
PM sent to Fordy regarding purchase.
Thanks

My 28 Willys and 31 Willys are exactly the same. I used a piece of rubber sidewall from an old tire to fashion a new cushion washer and originally there was a large fender type washer used before the lock washer and nut..

I love basket cases, especially Willys, Overland or Knight's. But sadly, your words are true. It would have to be at giveaway prices.
If it were a cabriolet or a roadster you would stand a bit of a chance but then most likely only to someone who already collects that marque.
I've already got lots of extra parts including 4 spare engines.
Good Luck,
Bill

Can you share some photos of the interior?
Thanks

If you can't find a listing online, you may have to take measurements and find one that fits. I had to do this for my 31 Willys a few months ago.
Here's a few pages from Gates that lists some popular thermostats.
Good Luck,

If you have a v8 303ci - Napa has them available.

I'm sure other vendors have them too.
Good Luck,

Great looking car.
Red is a great color for a Whippet.

Check and see if 'Bestoffercounts' has and used or visor parts.
He is on ebay and has a website. Location - Pa.
I've bought from him before and all was good.

A locksmith is my next stop.
I wasn't sure if this lock took a standard key that was used on many Westinghouse locks. My Whippet takes a common BS #42 key that is sold on ebay quite often. I was hoping the Yale 928 was the same.
Thanks

The ignition key cylinder is stamped YALE 928 K.
We're hoping that a key could be made from this info.
The car has a Westinghouse ignition. The car is a 1925 Sterling-Knight
Am I correct in assuming I could get a key made from this info? Where?
Any idea if the transmission lock would take to the same key?
Any photos of this type of key to give me an idea of what it might look like?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

My listing says that 6 cyl. Hupp 1926-31 takes a 2 1/2" x 16 tpi puller
George McMurtry passed away a year or two ago. His pullers are awesome.
Good Luck

My list is not too unusual but probably not too common either:
Chandler Touring or Roadster
1924 Maxwell Model 24 (my Mom learned to drive this car and I told her I'd be the caretaker of one someday)
Willys-Knight (Stearns-Knight, Sterling-Knight or Brewster would be OK too)
20's Packard - most any model would do
If one came available I'd have another problem. I'd have to sell something to make room for it.
Oh, the problems of the antique car hobby.......

Roundabouts can work very well but can be a real experience while vacationing.
We're getting a 'Divergent Diamond' interchange to hopefully prevent accidents. Fingers crossed ........
Go to the 42 second marker to begin the show and tell of the new design
Anyone ever seen one of these....or driven on one?
Bill

Even better.
Thanks much,

I'm ultimately looking for the king pin set but I'd like to know what part number I should be looking for at swap meets or Ebay.
I've looked at lots of kingpins over the past year and thought if I knew what number (s) I need, much time could be saved.
Any manufacturer part number (Moog, McKay Norris, etc.) would be helpful
1931 Willys Model 97 2dr Landau Coupe
Size - 3/4" dia x 5 7/16" length
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Great old family photo. Thanks for Sharing.
Below is a photo of my Mom sitting on the apron/running board of her Dad's early Maxwell. I believe it's a 1924 Model 25C.
My grandfather still had the car in 1936 when my Mom learned to drive. She hated that car because it was big and she had trouble turning the steering wheel. All her other friends had newer, fancier cars.
I told my Mom years ago that I would find an old Maxwell like the one she learned to drive and become it's caretaker. Still looking.......

Scanned ad copy sent via email.
Others on the forum have original ads that they may share with you.
My scans were from James Lackey's book, so credit goes his way. Not sure if a copy of a copy has good enough resolution to suite your needs.
Good Luck,

Model R 1923-25 replica fuel gauge project

Can't say enough GOOD things about our new gas gauge.
Steve did an amazing job building the gauge for our 1925 Sterling-Knight at the National Packard Museum. It came well packaged and wrapped in bubble wrap. It was a long trip from Australia to Ohio, USA and it made it safely.
We'll be installing the gauge this week and be able to show off our 99 year old car this summer.
Thanks Steve for saving so many cars.
