Thanks for looking a sell,the horn is Avery ornate pancake horn,the dome light I don’t know if it originally had one or not,,I have the original headliner put away in a bag I will get it out and check it,the wood in the roof is cutout for a dome light but who knows,,the trans I’ve never heard of a double high,I haven’t been under it yet but I don’t believe it has free wheeling, Dave

be real careful,the oil pump pickup falls off of chevy oil pumps,if the light goes out then that's not the problem,did you run it low on oil,if so you may have an air bubble in the line,if not then start checking the sender for the oil pressure (oil prassurs switch+ I believe on a big block chevy its either just above the oil filter or beside the distributor,either way good luck, dave

Phello all. Went thru more boxes today found the original crank hole cover and the original grille shell emblem!also a repro emblem,the original horn is there this is the first original horn I’ve seen,I’d like to put trUmpett horns. On this one but I can use it on my other 31 also found the taillight not in to good of shape but it’s there,there are also to dome lights I don’t know which is original but there both odd so either will work, also found the original horn button thanks for looking and if anyone has any suggestions I’d love to hear them. Thanks Dave

Hello everyone. Still trying to sort threw things found a New gasket set from Olsen’s,found a new y n z wiring harness found a couple of taillights but there both wrong neither one was a nacho simsonite,in wrapped the bumpers from the plater,the rear is beautiful the front al,though it’s nice it’s the wrong one,I believe it’s 29 or 30 Chevy double bar,I’ll post pics to see if anyone can identify it and use it,the devaux takes a single bar in the front identical to 32 Chevy so should be easier to find a Chevy bumper than a devaux,the trunk rack is missing they Geri rigged a piece of plywood to the rack brackets and set a trunk on it,will keep going threw things and see what turns up,thanks for lookin Dave

Will do , said the engine has been rebuilt and ran, but when I look at it there’s no oil lines hooked up no fuel lines hooked up all the carb linkage,the battery is new but the cables are not attached,I have all receipts for the motor all old gaskets pistonsetc I just don’t think it was ever ran,I guess I’ll know fairly soon, Dave

Go to your nearest automotive paint supply and buy a bottle of metal prep and a aerosol ca of 2in1 primer,follow directions on the metal prep,use a scotch brute pad and. Scuff the rust till it’s shiny metal,wipe down with cold water then a good per cleaner also aerosol then prime the spots,you should be good for several months if kept inside, Dave

no they never had any children,i guess that's why I fell in love with them,mr hoe was a stearn cantankerous guy a fire cracker you might say,mrs hoe was a great lady and boy could she cook,the older I get the more I miss them what great people,as I said in an earlier post everything mr hoe did for you or discussed with you came with a lifes lesson didn't see it at the time but as I get older I see things he did a lot clearer,hope new can find out the real story about the cars, I believe mr hoe passed in 1977, dave

if I remember correctly it was a locke bodied car,i don't remember if it had the mldg package but I don't think so,the car I saw on the internet in Utah may or may not have been the same car, it just struck me as being the same colors,i never saw the car with the top down and I don't think mr hoe ever put it down once it had been replaced sometime in the 50s, I know it didn't have whitewalls its probably like looking for a needle in a haystack,as cars are bought and sold stories are told that aren't always true,i im beginning to wonjder if the car was actually left to the museum,i hadn't seen mr hoe for about a year before his death (my fault) im wondering if mrs hoe changed things and the car was sold,i know they had more money than god and didn't spend much,mr hoe also had a 1913 Cadillac touring he said was a rare body style I remember it had a bbi carburetor and a 14 2 speed rear end,and a 1913 model t kind of a terracotta color with wire wheels and a Frontenac overhead vale conversion,is someone knows about either of these cars it may help figure out what happened to the Lincoln,most of the older guys are gone now so the trail is coming to an end,hopefully this will jog peoples memory and someone will remember what happened

Ok the car didn’t have a pop up cowl but it did have the second windshield,it was ivory with black fenders and red wheels,as far as I can remember mr gay bought it new,I remember having a long conversation Aton with mr hoe,ha said he knew about the car for a long time while it was stored in a shed,the story I was told was in was against mr gays religion to give mr hoe the car so he charged him 50.00 for it this was early 50s sometime,mr hoe owned hoe brothers construction they built high end homes in places like bel air he was not a doctor,is this the same car possibly,I, remember some identifying marks on the car that would have went away during restoration,I believe the Lincoln I saw in Utah Eason the internet the seller was bragging he drove the car at 80 miles an hour,without the grille badges and the big spot light it’s hard to tell, Dave
