  1. Ravenswood Ave. just a few doors north of Addison.
  2. Some rehab work on a building here in Chicago has uncovered some incredibly preserved ghost signs for the previous occupant. Enjoy!
  3. I really like this one! FB ad, no contact info in the ad but more photos and info at the link. 233CI straight-eight 3 speed manual transmission.

  4. Saw this Facebook ad today. There are more photos in the ad but I'll attach one of the car and one of the contact info. Maybe this one won't end up as a hot rod. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1127000294805276/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post
  5. Via Craigslist. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/d/dunkirk-1932-buick-56s-coupe-original/7465393839.html
  6. New owner could turn it into the real-life subject of a Robt. Williams painting.
  7. Not mine, but I know the seller. He says it runs and drives; these are photos he took. I can pass along his contact info to anyone interested, just send me a PM.
  8. It's on the eastern side, around Golf Road near 294.
  9. So there's a house in this suburban Chicago town that recently had a well-attended estate sale, with multiple buildings and massive collections of various things. The house itself is now for sale and this is in one of the rooms. The wheels are set in concrete. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/479363873820141/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post
  10. Just an update: my pal was able to go see the car in person and spend some time with it. He ended up buying it and it's en route to him. Thanks all!
  11. Just to keep this vehicle-related, these logos are on the bathroom mirrors in the tavern. We're keeping them, obviously!
  12. I most definitely will. And yes, special consideration given for forum members!
  13. Besides this one, OHD is the other site I read daily! My family and I live in an 1898 graystone that we bought just before a flipper was going to swoop in and rip out all of the originality (Seriously. We saw his plans). I find many similarities between owning and working on a very old house and a vintage car, especially the truism to buy the best one you can afford. Two years ago, we bought a 1904 tavern and flat building that was built by Schlitz Brewing as a 'tied house' and are working to restore it with the goal of reopening it as a tavern later this year. My friendliness with the folks at the local Eastwood shop paid off handsomely when looking for advice on restoring the finish on the tin ceiling. Being in the city and having limited storage space is a blessing/curse (my wife is is a Mustang enthusiast) - I missed out on a bucket list car two weeks ago, while trying to sort out storage for it. Very disappointed, but I'm trying to remain positive that the timing was wrong and perhaps it'll show up again another time.
  14. Hello all, I am interested in finding and buying this particular '28 Ford. It recently (in the past few weeks - early Feb. 2022) sold, was located in Wisconsin. If anyone sees it (or even better knows how I can contact the owner) please send me a message. Thanks in advance!
  15. My fr My friend is interested in a vehicle that's claimed to be recently restored, and wants to get a good set of eyes on it.
  16. Good afternoon all, On behalf of a friend, I'm looking for recommendations for an appraiser in North Carolina. Apparently the vehicle is in Pine Bluff, if that helps narrow the radius a bit. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the car is a '60s VW (if that matters). Thanks in advance for your suggestions! -Mike
  17. I'm reminded of that funny car salesman segment where he says of the Country Squire, 'never mind the equipment, imagine all the fun you can have in the back!'
  18. It was NOS, which fit perfectly but is cracking (as I assumed it would eventually)
  19. I know it's not correct for the car, but I'm looking for a place that sells a front carpet set for the '41 Special coupe. I replaced the old rubber mat with a new one, which is now starting to crack and truthfully I was never very fond of. Thanks!
