How may would you need?

[Air Cleaner Came in a Box of Parts with my 1928 Chrysler Model 72 Roadster]

That looks like a 29 or 30 Chevrolet air filter. The tube goes from the oil filler/breather tube to the air filter. The 29 and 30 were slightly different.

You are the one driving it. Do you want to worry about it every time you drive the car?

 

I would have to fix it.

[WANTED - Oakes Spare Wheel Lock to suit my 1930 Packard model 733, 1 working unit required, preferably with key.]

I measured the gap I show as 1/2 and you show as 3/8 (blue lines) and my lock is actually 7/16.

 

Let me know if that makes a difference since you need one with a cover.

I have this one but one measurement seems off. I can recheck if interested.$150 including US shipping.

I agree with erichill Georgia requires a personal inspection by an officer. I don't know how they would get around it.

[Probable Buick Fender, NOS]

The front mounting, inside and outside edge, and rear shape is very similar to 1924 Chevrolet but I could not find the part number in any of my books. I was presuming the missing number is a 3. I will attach a picture of some roadster Chevrolet fenders of various years, yours would be a sedan or touring car because of the mounting but the shape would be the same.

I don’t know what models were produced at that plant.

I know for a time when Doraville was making the Cutlass the place in Lawrenceville was making the convertibles. I want to say around the mid 1990's.

[31 Model 67 Door Striker Rebuild]

I would try Steele Rubber they may have them new.  It has been years but I had to replace mine on a 31 Chevrolet and I think I got them there. I moved the metal caps from top to bottom because of wear.

Ken Kaufman brought one to a VCCA San Fernando Valley show and there have been a few interesting right ups in the VCCA magazine about them. Sadly Ken has passed, not sure where the car ended up.

Chevrolet also had a assembly plant in Norwood, Ohio from 1923 to 1987. My 24 Roadster was born there.

I almost forgot, Packard Electric in Warren, Ohio. Became part of General Motors and United Motors Service , great products.

It is a 1931 66S. Striping only on the black body beltline molding, windshield posts , and wheels.

[32 Buick pin striping]

Most of the pin striping is still on my 31 66s, same color as your top picture. I can post some pictures if that would help. Nothing original left on the hood.

Not sure if you are running radial tires but they seem much harder to turn at a stop or parking situation than factory sized bias tires.

Did he have a parts car lot in Stuart, FL and a sales building south of Hobe Sound, FL on US 1 in the late sixties/early 70's?

[1929 Buick Coolant foaming problem.]

I am lucky to have been going through the exact same problem with a 31 Chevrolet. I had no foaming with water and oil and have foaming even with the anti freeze recommended by Bloo to be low foaming in his tests.

 

The test kit Ed mentions can be had at Harbor Freight for a reasonable price. I had no combustion gas in the coolant.

 

It never runs hot. I did replace the head gasket due to a compression leak between 5 and 4. Replaced the water pump shaft and packing thinking air was getting in but it still foams. Put a new high capacity core between the old rad tanks and I am using the metal elbow in the lower hose. I have just about run out of things to replace or try so I am hoping this thread will give me a new idea or two.

 

I would run the water and oil year round but there is a slight chance my shop will get below 32 and cause freeze damage if for some reason I could not drain it in time.

 

Thanks for posting this question here, I posted my problem over on the VCCA forum.

low priced cars like Chevrolet had pinstripes although, they were a single line running from front to back

My 31 Chevrolet has double pinstriping and many other Chevies of that time period had it as well.

[Do cars look better with side mounts?]

One of those to each his own kind of topics. I like the open Ford model A's and open Chevrolet's of the same time period with side mounts. My 31 Chevrolet looks sporty to me!
