  1. Looks like 1919 & 1920 had them. Maybe ask the Buick 1919&1920 guys in the Buick section? I'm guessing the keys were Yale, but they would know for sure.
  2. Year and a half and no Kegan... Hope everything is okay.
  3. Just a random search shows both in a 1909 directory together. Since then I've seen several listings of them together. I'm sure this is the kind of thing that really bugs those who think a motor is electrical (only).
  4. I think he was just pointing out old phrase words by comparison to a old phrase (motor mouth). I doubt 22touring meant anything other wise. Good advice for all of us no doubt.
  5. @nearchoclatetown better look at the tread for the dual white walls we talked about. Thank you for posting the photo with your grandfather @Model-50-1926
  6. What a fantastic car. I don't know much about these, but that's gorgeous.
  7. If you're only going to use it one or two times it may not be worth investing in a hot water unit. Cold after degreaser has soaked in then good ole busted knuckles... Hot water units are better though for sure but not that much better.
  8. Probably Aston-Martin but I can't find a match. Definitely British car...
  9. My dad made an early exit in our lives, he seemed to like Pontiac and Olds. My older brother and uncles were the car guys and they were mostly into Mopar. Everything from GTX, Coronets, Chargers, 68 Cuda Fastback, and a 63 Chevy Split Window (all great cars) . Personally wasn't influenced by any of them regardinging pre-war vehicles though. My influence came from watching gangster movies as a kid and hours of looking through old family photos. I had one uncle (a sign painter by trade) that loved the gangster movies equally and seen Humphry Bogart and Jimmy Cagney as mini gods (I can still smell those Lucky Strikes, butane and paint thinner to this day lol). Spending hours building pre-war model cars at a very early age played a role I'm sure. My dad wasn't a car guy.
  10. I think you have to reach 14 posts before it will let you.
  11. CT is on it Here's a 66 Fairlane lower front section from the web
  12. Hi John does this help at all? It's from a Ross Roy Sales Data Book I have. No other multi-colored looks and no mention of colors for the RS Coupe or any other models (unfortunately) . Also have the other models in different colors though (Phaeton, Coupe, Sedan, Roadster) if any of those would help let me know and I'll send to you in PM. @nearchoclatetown still working on scanning this. It's a wealth of information for those 30-33 guys looking for answers (hopefully).
  13. I think if someone bought parts and have tried calling a few times and resorting to posting questions here isn't out of line. Afterall Peter, wouldn't you want to know what happened to the company if you sent them money and couldn't get a hold of anyone? BTW, I had no idea you were yiddish. Kudos my man!
  14. I don't know about you guys, but I'll never look at bumpers quite the same since some of my research.... Especially as I continue to research the company owned by Christian Girl (better known as C.G. Spring & Bumper Co mentioned above). Key points to remember. 1.) He must of had a profound influence into the advancement of the bumper industry while designing many brackets, fittings, attachments etc.. 2.) He was also an assignee to earlier inventions by others in the field of machinery and the bumper industry as early as 1903 and possibly earlier. 3.) As I study him I'm finding a lot of the details on him are very difficult to find as you can imagine... If anyone has any info to expand on his company please post. 4.) He thought it important enough to produce a engineering catalog that the company published in 1924 (see last photo), but to date I've found no bumper or bracket catalogs with illustrations or photos. Here are just a few of his inventions. File date 1921 Filed 1922 Filed 1923 Filed 1924 Filed 1925 Jumping ahead Filed 1935 Filed 1936 1929 Auto Show Would anyone know what vehicle this bumper was used on? Hard to tell what the medallion is with the glare. Here's the 1924 engineering catalog. Still haven't found any catalogs showing bumpers or attachment illustrations.
  15. I mentioned that C.G. Spring Co was probably one of the candidates for the company that made the one on the Locomobile. The reason I said that is due to the many patents that C.G. (Christian Girl was his real name) had for his inventions. After studying it further I believe many of the 1920s and early 30s bumper components could be traced to his influence in the industry and will now be researching who bought him out. I currently have about 30 of his patent drawings up on my computer as we speak and the variety of uses and designs are pretty amazing. Everything from outer fender side guards to knee support that attached to the steering column and dropped down so the outer right side of your right knee could be supported for driving ease. Not quite cruise control but the concept was surely in Christian's mind. He also had rolling trunk platforms for business coupes and others, but the many bumper supports, braces and variety of bumpers are mind boggling.
