Bleach

Ya think it was cold?!?

It looks like some sort of sports car that had either lots of plastic or fiberglass trim and there was some sort of cover over the louvered area. There's a steering wheel and wiper visible on the left side so it is a photo of the front. I wish there was more of this car in the photo for more clues. I know what it isn't.

I looked at the engine compartment photo and the radiator hose isn't the only thing that looks generic and cheap. The wiring doesn't look that great either, especially the battery cables. There's also an obvious fuel leak from the filter bowl. Also the trunk lining looks like it fits like a cheap suit. Who know what other surprises lurk in that pretty package.

A clown car that went through one too many clowns.

I'm almost thinking they could be upholstery related. I've never seen anything like them.

Current budget cuts affect the Navy. New PT boat is revealed to the public.

Are you aware that there were at least three different styles of wheel covers available on the '63. The ones I've seen are the standard full wheel cover, a wire wheel cover and my favorite, the cast aluminum turbine covers with spinner center cap.

^ Yep, they destroyed quite a few in the Smokey and the Bandit film.

A more realistic asking price should be no more than $8000 to $10000 under these circumstances.

Great job and good luck with the rest of the car! Now get some coolant in there before running it again.

You can always use a fart-can if can't find a muffler you need.

Cars look pretty rough. Even finding good parts on them might be tricky. This Cadillac looks like it might be only be good as a sofa.

X3 on lubing the cable. It needs to be removed as was suggested above. I had a issue with my Cadillac actually snapping the cable without warning. The problem was solved by completely lubing the cable and case.

Hit a shopping cart?

The Chevy was a smash hit in 1955.

There is actually a law in Washington that permits you to use home brewed fuel for highway use without needing to report it to the revenue dept. Using it is legal as you personally use what you make. You cannot sell or commercially distribute it. This was brought up in another forum I belong to.

I've always heard the off road diesel was dyed red where as road fuel was un-dyed. So if you're running un-dyed stuff there's no way to tell. The diesel fuel I get at the pump for my Mercedes doesn't look dyed. I actually run WVO in it and only use diesel fuel for starting and purging before shutting down.

Here's some additional info too. This is a link to the colors available in 1936. AutoColorLibrary - Color Chip Selection

I wonder if they dye their fuel like off-road diesel fuel?

Here's the tag on the firewall of a Bronze Mist '63 and the color there is definitely black.

It's definitely a 1938.

Looks like a 46 or 47.

Looks like the horns no longer work.

I quickly adapted to using speed control. It takes out a bit of the fatigue when driving on a long trip. This is a good heads up for those owning older cars with these systems. There are lots of moving parts that need maintenance just like the rest of the car.

Yes, photos are definitely in order. It should narrow down the guessing a little.
