[Hemmings subscription renewal - sales tax]

Exactly what I was thinking. Even if he used the AmEx under a business account I can't see why he'd pay income tax on a purchase. 

Honestly can't even think of a scenario where you would have to pay income tax to another state unless you're doing business in that state.

I purchased this car 6 months ago and am debating between selling it or keeping it. It’s a gorgeous car but it doesn’t run and we can’t figure out how to get it running. It seems like it should be simple but it has us stumped.

1. Can we bypass the fuel canister for a 6 volt fuel pump?

2. Is there a setting for the spark arrester?

I really want to drive this car. 
 

 

Nice car btw and welcome to the forum 

[Need help with a 1929 Dodge Brothers Sedan]

A owners manual is highly recommended for owning one of these cars (if you don't have one yet). 

 

Assuming you've checked the three criteria to start a car (fuel, compression and spark) here's some info that may help troubleshoot things. Notice it suggests it is recommended that you determine the issue first before continuing to attempt to start the engine or you could destroy parts that are already working properly.

 

This info is from a DA6 3/4 ton truck (virtually the same as your car engine). If someone has a DA6 passenger car owners manual maybe they can post any differences that may help you more precisely, but his should be a good guide to help you with the troubleshooting process.

Very unusual to see Solarclipse headlamps on as low an end auto as a 1908 Cadillac.

Early custom job? Wonder what prompted such a move from the owner at the time. 

 

Here's a look at some from a Clement-Bayard that resemble the lamps on topic. Not quite a match but the lamps had to come from a similar type of vehicle. Maybe from a Thomas Flyer? I suppose the extra lighted horizon may have had an impact on the decision and was surely needed for travel to such remote locations.

[Updraft Carburetor body identification]

37 minutes ago, Michael Bode said:

I was wondering if someone here might be able to help identify an updraft carburetor body I picked up at an estate sale. Seemed the guy was big into Ford Model A and T and there was a lifetime collection of parts. I got about 7 of these bodies in various stages of disassembly. They appear to be brass. I haven't had much luck yet searching the Internet trying to identify them, so any help would be appreciated.

 

Jon has a very good website and has been incredibly helpful to a lot of us over the years. 

THE CARBURETOR SHOP

 

Start with the "passenger kits" list then go to the "truck list". 

I'd just go down the list and see what vehicles used the Stromberg O-1 or OE-1 (OE-1 is another name for it if I'm not mistaken).

Old or orphan 12 point box wrench. 14" or so of 3/8 steel rod with 4" bent into a 90 deg angle. Cut off box end of wrench & weld to end of rod. I have 3 of them. Just used the 9/16 last week removing the Vette dist. First time I used one in at least 10 years. Since all my cars have pertronix modules I never need to lay on my belly over the engine bay to dick with the distributor..........Bob

I'm just glad you took a second to word that correctly.

Things could have got out of hand real quick if a couple of words were moved around  

 

Like Bob, I too don't like hanging my belly (and other parts) over the engine bay if at all possible.

Those do come in handy on trucks, some of the taller trucks especially but breaking them up individually is advised. I doubt they'll sell as a lot unless you find that mechanic who works on timing trucks daily, then it's a must. 
Wait... what year is it again? 

[vacuum wipers missing - 1928 Chrysler 72]

14 hours ago, pre1939chrysler said:

The single vacuum tank on a 28 model 72 is a Stewert Werner  It supplies the carburator by gravity and creates a vacuum that also supplies the wiper and draws gas from the gas tank. Each fitting serves a purpose. I have a Kinston Vac. tank on my car and broke the 3 way fitting on top of my tank so I only go as far as the vacuum tank has gas in it.  I  have a 1929 model 75 RSC. AND RUNS GREAT WHEN I DON'T  BREAK 3 WAY VACCUUM  fittings.

 

Thanks Jay, I had a good chuckle on that one...

 

Would you mind posting a photo of what that part looks like? I have some Kingstons I've accumulated over the years and might be able to help.

PM me if you'd rather.

[1930's panel truck]

Here is the large model with altered humpback for advertising....

 

Love this look at promotional body styles.

 

I do question if the Phillips Soup truck is a 1 ton.

The LE-22 was a 3/4 ton version according to the model charts. 

 

[1930's panel truck]

One can only guess at the many models it may have been based on 136" WB (assuming the one in post #1 photo is a 136"). 

Even though the above brochure depicts a 3/4-1 ton 136" panel truck, it could have been 1 1/2 ton up to 3 ton IF that body style was available in that weight rating category.

 

3/4 ton rating model options:

LE-16, LE-21

 

1 ton rating models:

LH-29

 

1 1/2 ton rating models:

LE-31, LG-40

 

2 ton rating models:

LH-36

 

3 ton rating models:

LH-45.

 

 

Hope this is helpful. 

 

 

 

Keep in mind Dodge models are based on wheelbase length so without knowing the wheelbase of the truck in your photo we are only guessing what model it could be. The LE-22 that Keiser posted above is a 162" wheelbase so it gives you a even broader understanding of the many other models it may have been depending on the  trucks wheelbase. Again, I'm only using 136" wheelbase models as an example.

Hello kaiser31 - Perhaps 1.5 ton model?  That might account for the open front fender and name plate... having a hard time finding another pic of that size model  as a panel truck.

The Star Chief and Bonneville were the other Pontiacs I was trying to recall that had those big wrap arounds.

[What vehicles do you recall having wrap around back glass giving the appearance of two windshields front and back?.]

The concept of this thread is wrap around rear window so I think they have to be included.

Anything with a wrap around rear window from any era. 

 

I believe the 57 88 Olds Rockets had similar back window as this Buick and Olds wagon

Gorgeous wagons.

 

 

 

 

[What vehicles do you recall having wrap around back glass giving the appearance of two windshields front and back?.]

How about "Old vehicles with huge back windows". Nah, I'd probably get nailed for clickbait....

Who knew creating a topic had to be so extremely exact? 

Maybe we should just leave it to piss off those that have OCD?

(Old Cranky Disorder)

 

Some may be asking what about 60's Cudas or 63 Vette, would that count?

My answer is sure, why not.... split, chrome, no chrome, smaller than the windshield, larger than the windshield or just plain ole wrap around back window...

Never thought of it as having two windshields but it can sure be called minimalist sail panel.

Minimalist sail panel has a good ring to it but I'm sure that would get me 50 lashes, so for now I think I'll refrain from editing the heading  

Beautiful car BTW, and great example for this topic (probably one of the most pronounced examples we'll see).

Thanks Dave. 
Grant and his son did all the timber work and I just painted it. They had the logo done with a CNC router. I did say when he turned up with it I could of knocked that out with a hammer and chisel before smoko. NOT!! Haha. It looks great doesn’t it. 
The oak has between 12-15 coats of glaserit 2pak clear on it, About 8 litres. I kinda lost count towards the end there, and we gave it a really light stain just to get the grain to stand out. 
It’s been a great fun restoration this one as grant comes up as much as he can and helps out. Jude and my Saturday’s have been very entertaining for the last six months. We have pretty long lunches and smoko’s listening to grant’s stories. Rich was up yesterday but was a bit disappointed when he found out Jude hadn’t made him any brownies. 😂🤣. 
It’s really great how much fun these old cars can create. 

 

Dremel has a CNC router now?

Damn, how long was I asleep...  

 

Glasurit clear laquer 923-35? 
That makes sense now. So your recoat was every hour or so I presume? Less with high temps of course
I thought you may have used varnish. Was thinking that can't be because of the brutal turnaround time for recoat.
Very nice job. 

 

Sounds like you're all having a blast working on it. It really is cool how much fun these old cars (and trucks) create. 
Love the Ute, can't wait to see the final product.

See, that's not so hard is it Bob?

 

As BryanK  suggested earlier many of the mid fifties cars had them. I think it would be interesting to see how many we can post that had the wrap around back window making it appear that a vehicle has two windshields, one in the front and one in the back (for those that need further common sense instruction ).

I agree,

 however I did clarify in the first sentence what I was asking and if one takes two seconds to read it, it's pretty obvious the intent of the thread. I suppose if folks don't even want to take a second to read the first line or are too lazy to read then I guess the rest of us can just ignore them and try and stay on topic. I realize it's difficult for some as our over stimulated minds tend to drift but I feel most of us are able to stay on topic . It isn't difficult.

We can only hope this doesn't lead into engine vs motor debate again. One can hope at least....  

 

For those that can't understand the first sentence of this thread

Maybe this thread isn't for you. Please, don't stress yourself, just kindly move on so the rest of us can enjoy discussing  how many cars (or trucks) had wrap around back windows that make a vehicle appear to have two windshields.
