Also fits a 1917 Overland Model 85-4.

Yes. Their was an option for a Cosworth twin overhead cam 16-valve engine with a five-speed transmission. Those cars are rare, as are the engine parts to repair them.

TCs: People either love 'em or they hate 'em. I suspect that most of the haters have never owned one. The four-cylinder turbo charged TC is an extremely comfortable fun-to-drive car. The drive train is all Chrysler. The body and interior is all Maserati. Contrary to popular belief, the TC is not built on the K car platform. No body panels will interchange between the TC and the K car. There is also a loyal and active TC community that offers support and parts for TC owners. As has been mentioned, there is an active forum dedicated to TCs on this web page. If you want a fun antique car that is way undervalued, you can't do much better than the Chrysler TC by Maserati.

I like the model that the Corvair Center Forum follows. The forum is designed for and used by Corvair enthusiasts and 95% of the posts are relevant to Corvairs. But it is not exclusive to Corvairs. Topics that are not Corvair-related are labeled with the letters O.T. (off topic). Off topic posts range from advice on fixing a home boiler to the death of Kobe Bryant. At the end of the day, forum readers are a diverse group with diverse interests.

Has anyone heard of or seen a Dewabout? My wife found the following information and photo on Facebook, I thought I'd pass it along. The Dewabout was built in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1899 by Thomas Branthwaite Dewhurst. It was the first automobile built and driven on the streets of Lexington. The design was basically a buggy, with a motor and running gear. The vehicle weighed three hundred fifty pounds, with a two cylinder, four horsepower, air-cooled gasoline engine. It was steered by a tiller, ran on pneumatic bicycle tires and seated two persons. It had a cruising speed of fifteen miles per hour.

Will the hotel be responsible for hanging the club banners this year? If so, when do we need to have the banners on site?

I may be wondering off-topic here: San Francisco cable cars have a unique braking mechanism that presses oak boards against the steel rails.

As others have said, you have a fantastic car and a great story to go with it. Since you are understandably safety-conscious, I strongly advise that you replace all of the steel brake lines and the master cylinder. Steel brake lines rust from the inside out, and can fail when you apply the brakes. I also agree with the advice to replace the fuel lines and tank. I would also have the carburetor professionally rebuilt. A troublesome carburetor will frustrate your restoration efforts. Enjoy your car!

How did they keep oil out of the cylinders in the bottom (upside down) engine?

I have a radiator from a 1918 Model 85-4. It leaks but may be repairable. It's yours for the cost of shipping if you can use it.

That poor truck looks abused.

Thanks Steve. Please disregard my duplicate post on this topic.

Has the seminar schedule been published yet, for the AACA Convention in Philly?

Thanks Hemi. I located a used one and made the purchase. If it turns out not to be a good reservoir, I'll take you up on your offer.

My friend has an '89 TC with a coolant reservoir leak. We'd like to replace the reservoir. Does anyone have one they'd like to sell?

Our region uses the web domain provided by the AACA, and we use Wordpress as our content manager. We would like to set up a "members-only section of the website in order to post our membership roster. Is this difficult to do? Does it require a plugin? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think the horn in the above picture is actuated by pressing the soft plastic ring attached to the inner rim of the steering wheel. The buttons on the crossbar may be for cruise control. And then again, I may be wrong.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your expertise and helpfulness.

I'm curious to know the makes and years of the two cars in this picture.

Nice mouse pad!
