Still Looking? Coming to Hershey?

Greetings, I am asking this for a friend that is not an AACA member. He is working on a 1934 Nash 8 Ambassador sedan. The car gears perfectly when the engine is running but it won't shift gears when the engine is off. Your thoughts? Anyone have a transmission for sale or have a lead on one? Thanks in advance.

I need a few "driver quality" 7:00 or 7;50 17" wide whitewall tires. Let me know what you have available . I also need ( different car) a set of original Packard Caribbean wire wheel hubcaps. I'm in the N Chocolate field Monday mid day- Thursday evening. Thanks!

still available?

Greetings, I have an old leather bound book of B&W factory photos mounted on linen. The photos are in a little rough condition but here you go. JWA

I know someone out there "has been there done that" and has a great and simple solution for cleaning and preparing for new seals. . What a mess, the rear door where actually suck shut and i have puddles of rubber on the running boards from the door seals. HELP! LOL Thanks in advance. ja ps- i know you Guy's like to see photos so i attached a few for you viewing pleasure. also- i need a teardrop shaped cowl mount antenna- holes are already there...

I have not been able to view ads and such for several months - thought it was just me. And i am a member...

Jack, Thanks for the reply. Any idea where this car is located now? Do you know who the Coach builder was? Where there any signs of it ever having the sightseer glasses in the roof? We know that Smoky Mountain Tours had more the one Chrysler- i would love to know the history on this car. Thanks again! Jerry

Can you share any info or photos from that Portland sale? I'd love to see the details. br-549

This is what we believe to be the same vehicle at the Biltmore House in the mid 60's.

Greetings, I'm slow but sure! LOL I finally received permission to post these photos from the owner of the vehicle. We are fairly certain that this Chrysler was once a Smoky Mountain Tours (vehicle #20) . SMT operated out of Asheville NC. They had a very unique fleet including 3 axle Packard' s and vintage Flxible buses just to name a few. We have a Facebook page" Smoky Mountain Tours Company" feel free to join our page and see the items we have found to date! All leads, photos and picture appreciated! We have a vintage photo of a "like" Chrysler in front of the Biltmore House in Asheville NC Anyone have knowledge of this cars past? Any guess on the Coachbuilder? Thanks, br-549

Let me contact the owner and check on the status of the car and ask permission to post photos. JWA

Wow, Thanks HH56! I'd never seen that before. A great detail item. I appreciate you sharing ! Jerry

My bad, yes 1940-1942.

Greetings, So i assume that an early Packard A/C unit would need R-12 Freon? Does anyone have info/ experience on adding a clutch to an original A/C compressor? Who has a working unit? Thanks, Jerry
