Many cars went from mechanical brakes to hydraulic brakes by the 1930s. Did any automobile company do the reverse and drop hydraulic brakes in favor of mechanical brakes?
General Motors trucks did in 2007. the half ton trucks switched back to drums because they had problems with the inside rear pad on the passenger side wearing to quickly.

I have never watched the show but they rented my 1931 Stutz DV32 and my 1915 Simplex Crane. Paid well too.

I have looked extensively at the 4 person speedster car number 2046 that you posted at Hersey in 2019 also when it went through a previous Bonhams auction I believe in Monterey for a no sale. It is a very nicely done car. The seating position for the driver however is a bit tight in my opinion with a extremely vertical seat back. This however was the only thing that i did not like. the quality of the work done is quite high. the perportions are very nice front to rear. The low louverd frame covers are very sporty. I know I spoke to the owner a few years ago I just need to rumage around to see if i can find the number for him. I own car number 2315 and they are a fantastic car to drive. I have had mine up to 76 miles an hour of the highway and still had a couple left in her. Braking however needs a long term plan. I have relined the driveline brake and the park brake shoes, had a the rad recored and repaired the carb. The next job is to remove the Janky electronic ignition and go back to full mag.

I am a repair and restoration shop about 5 miles north of the border at the i5 border crossing. We can still cross for commercial reasons. If you bought the car personally you may not be able to come up to get it. I can pm you the name and number of a carrier that that crosses back and forth transporting cars i think he even runs up and down the i5 corridor.

Today's trailers and trucks are a lot better. No windows. I don't want to advertise what I have. To many people what to take what they don't earn.

Eddie got a late start because his hitch was messed up and had to buy another. I would expect some updates later in the day. He should be passing in to Georgia about now.
Not surprised @edinmass always cheaped out with his car and truck maintenance.

I purchased a couple from Skip over the years. If Mark is doing them the the same level you can't go wrong. A cheap solution to a known problem

Bill sent out this email today to the Royale owners and I got his permission to post it here.
Hey All,
Just a quick note to inform you that the “green car” is basically finished now and has been for sale the past 4 months on various websites for $124,999. I have had a few interested parties, but no offers.
My brothers and I are anxious to get it to a new home, so we have just drastically reduced the price to $105,000. This is a great deal on a super rare and verified American classic.
I am attaching a description and four recent photos. It is a beauty!!
Please call or respond if you’d like more details… or pass the word to another collector!!
Best regards, Bill Barker

105 thousand is cheap for a Royale Convertible coupe. I also agree the poor fitting top means nothing. Put it down and drive the car.

Was it not a very dark green?

Nothing is more expensive than a “cheap Duesenberg!”Haha @edinmass I never said cheap! just resonably priced all things considered.
-
I am glad you ended up with that car @auburnseeker I looked at that myself. However I still have the engine on my boattail apart and my coupe is amost done the body wood. However, may i sugest the Duesenberg A as the next goal. In my opinion the prices are resonable on the less sporty bodies.

The fold in rear trunk rack and the rubber extrusion for the running boards are fantastic. I wonder what it would be like to drive?

I am lucky to already own it.

When you are speaking to potential employers and shop owners please be very clear and honest with your own personal abilities. Not having experience doing something is not a bad thing but over selling what you can sucsessfully complete is. Be very clear what your strengths and weakness is. It will encourage rather than discourage that you have realistic goals and abilities. it also show humility and a willingness to increase you knowledge and skills. Also you must understand that the learning curve to get good at anything that involves skill has a whole lot of sucking before it starts to pay off. Don't give up. There is huge reward in this industry, not just in being able to be the guy that can repair what others can't but a industry that is in desperate need of skilled people. This equates to job security.
Good Luck

Can you post a link to the ad?
All I could find was a set of 19" Marmon wheels. The hub bolt pattern is incorrect for a Packard.

we have a customer that drives his Sears almost every day. We had had the wheels rebuilt. converted the wheel bearings to modern sealed ball bearings. Had to machine up some spacers to get things to fit correctly. Also rebuilt the engine and oiler. replaced the drive sprokets and chains.
