Chris Herrel at Boos-Herrel. http://www.boos-herrel.com He is the expert when it comes to 36-48 Lincolns and has always been good to me. He has master cylinders listed in his catalog online.

How was the brake application before the master cylinder was replaced and when the old master cylinder was still working? The brakes on my Continental start applying within the first 1/3 of pedal travel. If the brakes were working fine when the old master cylinder was still functional, I would suspect the new master cylinder's function.

Powdering her nose. Name that car.

The T handle under the dash is the self-shifter control.

You have to post a photo, then add text. Post another photo and add text, etc. At least that is how I do it.

The Lincoln service manual doesn't quote torque values. Here are two discussions on mains torque values from the Lincoln Owner's Club forum.

Like TexRiv_63 said about his 1934 Packard, Lincoln originally had molded rubber bumpers for the hood corners. They were missing on my 1937 Lincoln K, but the mounting studs were still on the inside corners of the hood. I purchased a nice reproduction set on Ebay and my hood never falls anymore. Ray Theriault may still have a set or two of these hood bumpers.

This is one of the fabrics offered by Packard in 1955 from an original dealer's upholstery book. Looks pretty close to the upholstery in this car if not an exact match. I like it a lot.

The original poster asked about four wheel brakes on a 1922 Hispano-Suiza. The 1919 Hispano-Suiza HB6 came out with four wheel brakes and with a mechanical servo assist no less!

My 1930 Lincoln shifts about the same hot or cold or as well as any non-syncromesh gearbox of the era. 600W gear oil is recommended. Jay approves.

Fun on the beach.

Here is a nice 1916 Winton in the Harvey G. Harper collection in Eureka, CA. They had it out last year for the Rhododendron parade, so I know it runs. Not sure I like the color scheme, but a beautiful car just the same.

There is a 1936 Cord color catalog on Ebay right now that might give you a vague idea of colors offered.

I think Lincoln first had the electric clock in 1928. Here are my dash and rear seat clocks.

My 1930 Lincoln has a self winding electrically actuated clock in the dash and a manually stem wound clock in the rear compartment. The best of both worlds.

Despite Ed's disdain for them, I've always wanted a 1920s V8 Cunningham with the 4-speed transmission.

Headlights are Pierce-Arrow, but nothing else appears to be Pierce. Radiator ornament appears to be a Lincoln greyhound. Lots of other bits and pieces from various makes. Cool looking though.

Here is a close up of the original dealer applied pinstripe on my 1930 Lincoln 183 sedan. It looks white in the photo, but is actually silver over the very dark blue body color.

My favorite, if you can find it.

Heel and toe refer to contact clearance between the brake lining material and the drum at the leading end and trailing end of the brake shoe.

1931 brake lining rear 27 19/32" length, 1 3/4" width, 3/16" thickness, clearance heel .006, toe .012. Front 27 19/32" length, 1 3/4" width, 3/16" thickness, clearance heel .006, toe .012. Hand brake length per drum 24 5/8", width 2", thickness 5/32", clearance 1/16".

The Lincoln gauge shows empty with 4 gallons left in the tank, 2 gallons left before empty and 2 gallons left in reserve.

Exactly!

In the bottom of the of the fuel tank are two reserve tanks. One or the other of these reserve tanks, depending on which way the reserve control valve is turned forms a part of the main fuel supply tank, while the other side of the reserve tank is sealed by the reserve control valve. If the main fuel supply becomes exhausted, turn the handle to the opposite position, and the reserve supply will be released. It doesn't matter which way you have the valve turned as you always have a reserve if you turn the valve the other way.
