Friar - that is beautiful. Looks to be a high quality restoration. Keep up the great work!!
-
Curt - I'll have to agree with you as long as NZ was importing Fords back in those days. The photo is dated 1949, so I think you nailed it. Those oval back windows sure are attractive, though not excessively functional.

Hi folks -
I have no ties to the seller, I just wanted everyone to see an original Panel Truck. I see it hasn't met the reserve, but noted it's rarity. I sure hope it gets restored and not chopped into a Rat Rod.
Happy Fathers Day to all the great AACA Fathers.
Thinking of my Dad, may he continue to rest in peace.

I agree with the awesomeness of the Mk II's. My preference lies with the 7.0l Ford Sedans or late Studebakers. With nothing at the moment, I'd certainly settle for a 73 GranTorino Sport that I should have never gotten rid of. Such is life.

Such a nice truck - have fun and be safe!

Thanks AVS - best wishes for your Moms speedy recovery. I looked and had identified the Regal (from the radiator script), but those headlights threw me to left field. it seems those headlights are from the 1905 era, yes?

Hi Bernie - I still follow your work and enjoy your humor and honesty. I thought I'd try to help some others by plugging your blue text above into Google translate. It returns as:
for the valves it will give the dimensions
Always think has to be precise in your requests
this avoids that we were wasting our time and this will facilitate the processing of requests.Nothing is standard Renault.
Keep plugging along. We are watching and rooting for your successes.

The first car is a Regal. It says so on the radiator. It appears to be a 1909 or perhaps an early 1910 Model 30. I have a 1909 Regal and except for the headlights (those on the car in the photo appear earlier and not Regal) the car looks the same as mine.
AVS - seeing the Regal in the radiator, can you tell what is written or what the emblem is at the top center of the shroud? Does yours have an emblem there also? Thanks!

That's a beautiful young lady in the back seat of the Overland. They may have been from here: http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/archives/26319/ Interesting history in that town.

zip - that is a beautiful chest: such skill and precision used to fabricate it. I hope someone speaks up for the coil.
Terry - yours is very nice too. A great story about the purchase.
"...on display in my own personal "museum" which is a faithful recreation of a circa 1915 auto parts store." - would you post photos in a new thread describing your museum? I too, enjoy peering into windows of days gone by.
Thanks to all.

Nick, Craig - Is this of any help?
-
Some kind of scale of size would help!! Maybe a stove pipe clean out cover.
And a photo of back, as well please.

Thank You Ron for your dedication to your cars. They are all beautiful. Can't wait for the photos of the 6-38 when completed. Which is your favorite? Additional note: Your home is stunning. What a beautiful area!

Brian - As West said, we'd love to know more about your Lincoln and would certainly enjoy photos. Can you give us any more history? Maybe photos of the papers (and photos of the car)? This is probably the most professional and historically focused forum that you will find for answers to your questions. Please help us, help you.

Thanks Marty for your insight. The forward chassis mount of the 2 leather retainer straps are visible in this attached photo. By saving and zooming, I now see the horizon in the top right corner.
-
That sure looks like a beauty. Is there any back story about the car, the previous owner and/or some of the history? Is that North Carolina pictured in the background? It's a beautiful area! Good luck and thanks for letting us view your "new" car. More pictures are always desired here at AACA.
-
Marty mentioned a "ONE-MAN TOP" - with the angle of the camera, could the vehicle be under a pavilion and the car have the top down? I think I'm seeing the top corner of the windshield with no sign of the top at that point (if the top was up).
Is there any significance to the pin-stripe on the body/door? Would that have been an option in the mid-teens?
Thanks for letting me ask, as I am always trying to learn from this massive knowledge base!

I agree with the Craigslist or Ebay suggestion. Include "barn-found" and "Rat-Rod" and you'll get deluged with calls. Or make garage wall hangings out of them! Maybe the old bags that they were in are worth something??

Thank you Matt. You are a man of keen insight into the business and a wordsmith too! I agree with you and believe the kids will have no appreciation for the original cars that we love and cherish. Too bad for them. :-(

Yes Sam - a beautiful Merc! As far as the Monaco goes, I agree with David. It sure would be pretty back to original, and a super nice ride too! Thanks for the link to the photos Dave. Good luck Martin - I hope you get it!

Keep up the good work Jason. Forgive me for asking - the screen is part of the oil filtration system? I am not familiar with this, but enjoy the chance to learn!

John - The Henry Ford Museum and Dearborn Village were nice visits the last time I went (>20 years ago). That is, if you're going close to Dearborn and that area of SW Michigan. http://www.thehenryford.org/museum/index.aspx One note: depending on your desire, the museum may take more than one day.

Thank you Mr. Matt Harwood. Well said, and I totally agree with all aspects. What kept me coming back was the camera and film work of outstanding level. Truly beautiful. I had on my bucket list to be an audience member at some point. Now... unfortunately, I have an open spot. Thanks to all for a great conversation here, I believe Hulu Plus has the older seasons that Netflix no longer has.

Question: Many photos of the 1927 and 1928 Nash have 5 lug solid wheels. I have found only 2 photos with the 6 lug wheels. What distinguished 5 or 6? Was it the engine size, optional upgrade or are they aftermarket as suggested by nzcarnerd? My first guess was a 28 Chrysler. I missed the cowl light. Searching for input, thanks to all the years of knowledge and experience.

Weren't cast iron pans used in marine applications? I think I remember a friend in high school rebuilding his boat motor. It had a cast pan. FYI
