  1. That's a 1969 Road Runner and I like the wheels as pictured here. I always thought jacked up with big "meats" looked silly.
  2. To me it looks like a lacquer paint job that cracked and high humidity took a toll on this car. (car cover?) I had a 57 ranch wagon I got in Inver Grove Hts, Mn. in the early 70s. The thing was rusted a good 8"all around, not much left of the frame behind the rear axle. There could be a few speed parts or maybe the whole 6 cyl that are worth more than the car.
  3. I see flames (traces) on the front fenders, that with the speed rated tire in the back points to great speed.
  4. For you big city guys. Back a few years, cars like this were used as hunting cars. Old beaters with the doors off to go through the woods with all the gear. Most of the time they were used just for fun and the hunting and fishing was just an excuse.
  5. Leaf spring stretcher, W.A.G.
  6. The slotted hole is what makes me think of linkage.
  7. This looks to light, what makes it a jack handle? PTO linkage?
  8. Welcome Were those the flexible plastic? You may have to make a mold from broken ones.
  9. What is the location of the car? Take some more photos with the grass trimmed and list any parts included that are inside the car.
  10. You were thinking T&A it was written As and Ts, was your mind near the building were the front wheels are parked.
  11. The vultures are a nice touch.
  12. About the same thing happened in Minnesota with the people in Bloomington. Jets were flying in and out of the MPLS airport since the 50s and the complaints started in the late 70s with the housing boom.
  13. Any ideas on this pair? Nickel plated, 9" fork mount, about 7 1/4" X 7 3/4" Monogram lens.
  14. After the war my father would pick up old outdated cars to scrap. Drove most of them home, the interior was gutted and the tires taken off then they were set on fire. He drove late 30s Dodges or Chryslers through the late 50s. In January 1960 he bought a white & red 1958 Plymouth wagon. He was not a car guy.
  15. My 1954 New Yorker got 22 MPG on the highway, 15 in town ( 331 with a 2 barrow carb). The 1967 Morris Minor 39 to 42 MPG all the time.
  16. Any ideas on the make on this early fan? There are no numbers or markings.
  17. Change the title to something with 1933 Plymouth in it. A location will help also.
  18. In the 60s & 70s I was given several cars. The 62 Buick Special that had the wrong wheels jammed on it. A 63 Rambler American 2 dr that a towboat cook hit the wrong petal while a bit drunk drove it in the water and got the dist. wet. A nice 1964 Dodge Dart 440 2 dr that was low on tranny fluid and hardly moved. 2 Corvairs that had oil leaks and no heat. unbelievable? In 1974 there was almost a recall on 1959 & 60 Caddys for the Pittman arms. I was given a 1960 Coupe DeVille that was sitting in a truck stop parking lot, loss of steering. I guess I was the go-to guy for getting rid of cars in the small town I lived in.
  19. I was hinting Factory Air like in the adds that say "Has Factory Air" The air in the tires would be contaminated with the rubber gassing off.
  20. Someone just posted in Pre-war Period Photo section a 1917 Saxon Chassis he has in a shed.
  21. My Grand Father had bought a new tractor in the spring of 1929 with a big bag of silver dollars. He lost all of the livestock and had crop the crops fail for a couple of years during the dust-bowl in the 30s. He and the family moved from the farm outside of Pierre South Dakota to Durand Wisconsin with what they could store in or on the car. Seven of the family members lived in a 12 X 12 house/cabin on an acre, he took a job with a lumber company at almost 50 yrs old. My father with the catch of the day
