hello everyone when i said aftermarket wheels i was meaning period correct wheels , these may be a period correct accessory type, budd or houck ive looked into but didnt know which would be used on a low priced car like the moon, i was told there was several wire wheel brands from the same manufacturer, as always thanks for the help, dave

hello everyone is there a book that is available that would tell me what aftermarket wire wheels where available for my moon roadster,it has wood spoke at the present time but i think it would look sportier with wires,any info would be appreciated dave

HELLO I SEEN THIS CAR ON EBAY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, I LOOKED FOR IT IN MY OLD BOOKS BUT CAME AWAY WITH NOTHING,IM NOT SURE BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS BUILT BY SOME ONE OTHER THAN THE MANUFACTURER OR PREMIERE BODY COMPANY,KEEP CHECKING THIS VEHICLE MAY HAVE AN UNUSUAL HISTORY DAVE

hello i think there is more cars out there than we know about im going to try an get info an pictures incl parts cars an street rods, i know of several thats not on the website,am going to try an get a complete list if thats at all possible dave

hello everyone the devaux convertible in the grand rapids museum is the former forest sweet car out of texas i tried to buy this car in the seventies but was told it wasnt for sale,the convert that myron cummings owns is the former bill harrah car,i missed that one at auction about 1970,ive been told theres one more in south or central america to be restored but havent been able to track it down,howard reinke in michigan is about the most knowledgeable guy about devauxs ive metand again he thinks there werent many more made,the continental roadster is intresting i think ill look into them,also im trying to put together a survivors list of devaux cars i will be bugging everyone i know for pictures of there car and vin number,will try an finish the list this coming year dave

barry my 31 has extensine wood including the roof which is all wood,the floor rails an all is wood the 32 has the floor wood platform but the roof is steel much like a 32 ford 3 window,this is the main reason i havent started restoration yet,ive been thinking about moving to the south east early next year if this happens ill probably start resto as soon as im setteled an working,calif is getting way to expensive,im tired of working just to pay the bills an the taxes dave

BARRY ITS GOOD TO KNOW IF IN FACT THEY DID MAKE SOME THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE DEVAUX AN MAYBE I SHOULD START LOOKING THERE INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR A DEVAUX THE DEVAUXS JUST SEEM TO BE NON EXISTANT, I THINK THAT MAYBE THE SCRAP DRIVE OF WW2 IS WHERE MOST OF ARE ORPHAN CARS ENDED UP THANKS FOR THE INFO DAVE

BARRY DID THEY ACTUALLY BUILD A CONVERTIBLE DAVE

barry the devaux convertible as i remember where hinged at the front,i wasnt aware that continental made a convertible, if so would like to see the pitures if there is any available,also seen pictures of a 32 durant dominion motors car an it looked an awful lot like a devaux in 32, i have a 31 coupe an a 32 coupe but the convertibles always seem to elude me dave

this is really a tough call,paints are extremely different today,i have ran collision repair shops for over 25 years before thein i painted and did metal work,a perfect match ive never seen,theres something wrong with everything,paints are tough,first try an figure what product was originally used,in so calif we can no longer use enamels, acrylic enamels laquers or acrylic laquers,when refinishing a newer car with 2 stage paint we can no longer use acrylic urethane but now we half to use water base with a solvent clear coat,so matching is tough,most older vehicles with original paint is a single stage system,usually depending on what the vehicle is,gm used laquers,ford and chrysler liked enamels,many things will change the end result ,from the color of your primer,to your base coat color,from air pressure to weather conditions,good luck not impossible just tough dave

am possibly intrested in the durants,if you could e mail me pitures & info including prices an where vehicles are, dave

ACADEMY ST IS FERNDALE BUT NOBODY WANTED TO ADMIT LIVING IN FERNDALE,SO WE ALL CALLED IT ROYAL OAK

hello many years ago when i first started doing metal work,we used these files for pick an file or metal finishing,this was the late sixties,the plastic fillers where coming in very strong at that time and we where using less and less files,we had a man who picked up the file blades an sharpened them for a buck a piece,after he went south no more vixen files and no more lead floaters,,after taking a machine shop course we found bead blasting the blades made them real sharp, usually using glass but im sure sand will work just fine

as i stated in an earlier post, i grew up in royal oak michigan on academy st until i was about 8 or 9 then moved to calif,they had ice cream trucks in calif but my fondest memory was in michigan,i remember going to visit my grandma and grandpa in morgantown west virginia, and i remember missing the ice cream man,the ones in west virginia just werent the same, i will be retiring some time in the next 10 years and if the economy picks up i just may look for a place back in michigan,calif is just getting to damn expensive dave 1927 moon 1931 devaux 1932 devaux

i also grew up in michigan,( royal oak), and i remember frank the good humor man,i remember if you stepped off the curb youd get no ice cream from him,i remember the humid nights waiting to hear the bell from the ice cream truck,i remember talking to my dad later about frank and he told me frank would go down to florida with the ice cream truck during the winter and come back to michigan in summer,what great days

did the premiere ever get restored

did the premiere ever get restored dave

dean i was asking about the color of the car and where it was from ,because as a kid an older friend of my dads taught me about restoration work, he had a 1928 lincoln locke body touring car, it was from southern calif an was ivory with black fenders,at the time it was really beautiful, had original paint on body an original interior, i remember it had massive wire wheels, the gentlemans name was Harold Hoe, he passed away in the middle 70s and i never knew what happened to the car,i thought it went to a lincoln museum in missouri but no one seems to know
