Nice dash pad..that would save you $2500 +. Horn ring is a $1000 fix. Air conditioning is a plus. The underside of the car could be sketchy judging from the wheel wells. Cheers,Pat

Here is Wray Schelin's experiment with rust remover on the underside of a 52 Cadillac convertible.

John beat me to it..I have seen Irontite perform miracles twice. Cheers,Pat

Great story..Thanks!

Thanks Craig!

Sorry for the photo resolution ..I had to crop it out of a larger photo Photo taken around 1913

I remember seeing an ad in Hemmings..a fellow had five of them sitting on a car transporter.

"I stopped transporting in & out of Canada several years ago because of the US Customs Agents unpredictable behavior. " So very true..I would ad that the Canadian side can be just as unpredictable! Always a big sigh of relief once we get through the border!

I kept a 54' container just over the border that I would store parts in.When asked by customs why I was doing that I told them that storage was 1/3 of the price in a small town down there (true). If you are planning to sell this stuff at swap meets in the U.S. perhaps you could keep it in a container south of the border. Load up on the way to a swap meet and bring back the stuff that didn't sell and put it back in storage. That way you are not constantly explaining what you are doing to customs officials. Just an idea..may or may not work for you based on your location.

When I cross the border with parts I say that I am going to get work done down there and then will pick them up at a later date. Make sure you have names of a few businesses on the tip of your tongue when asked.

Oh yes, I see that now. The list still takes up 2 and a half pages of fine print with that age limit applied!

The 1969 directory (CCCA) does not list a Stutz older than 1926 for Harrah..so he must have bought it after that date.

Apologies if this has been posted before..looks like they make a wide variety of rims. https://www.veterancarrims.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR21eH-y4ki-eD2TLD6eejAlcGgRPb7tGHEANhwR2aKSPLNWEQ8iQojDtEE Cheers,Pat

Love the Pioneer super tuner too! Cheers,Pat

I found this photo online and the caption was "Seattle family in a 1912 Speedwell" Thank you Chris!

Any thoughts on what make of car this is? Someone thought it might be a Studebaker but a knowledgeable friend has suggested that it might not be. Cheers,Pat

If the rims are rusted they are probably only useful for a hose rack...quite a few of these wheels have survived.

This car was white originally ..does not appear to be in the roster. Correction; The body number (191) is recorded in the roster but no other information is given.

When I got my 55 Eldorado it would not run. A couple of cylinders had no compression..but what really confused me was a hose that ran from the lower engine vent and was very carefully woven through the frame all the way to the back of the car.This was that old,black washing machine drain hose joined together in 4 foot sections. When I took apart the engine I found shattered piston rings...so I concluded that the old fellow that owned the car had used liberal amounts of starting fluid..so much so that it leaked past the top ring and detonated.This did a number on the rings and the side of the piston. The car must of had the blow by from hell after that..choking out passengers...but a little washing machine hose and your good to go!

CChinn, Yes, just like that hook, Great chart..thanks pkhammer, I did mention that they were worth money and he said he tried to sell some but was too busy to wait around for people that didn't show up. LI_BENTLEY I might have it examined ,if it has a high zinc content it would a good break in oil.

Yes, a employee brought over 55 gallon drum on a skid so he didn't have to go back and forth to the used oil dump.

Initially I thought he was throwing out empty cans..but then I watched him pierce a can (with a old metal spout) and pour it out.He had been there pouring new/old oil out for an hour before I got there!

Not flushing oil but Amsoil ...I changed the oil in a 60 Pontiac with a 283 (Canadian) that was just loaded with gunge under the valve covers. The engine ran long enough to loosen up the crap and then it stopped running.Turns out the only thing holding that engine together was all the goo. Cheers,Pat

I was at my local recycling center the other day and I saw a fellow dumping these into a barrel.. I asked him why he was getting rid of them and he said it was no good.. because it was old! I offered to take them off his hands and he was more than willing load them into my truck. My wife is always happy when I come home from the dump with more than I left with I googled the SC rating and it said “Obsolete, not suitable for engines built after 1967” I wonder what the issue is with post ‘67 engines? I came home with seven cases of oil.. some later Valvolene ,Chevron and Castrol.

Just a FYI, 2 part epoxy primers and paints are being made in spray cans..SprayMax is one supplier. Cheers,Pat
