  1. thank you for the info, pretty much know it is a long shot to find even one, I know that all Lincoln cars from the late twenties to early thirties used this latch, I can build them from scratch, probably will do so, just giving it one last try at finding some, even one is a great help, again thank you for the info and advice, always appreciated, sent you a pm
  2. WTB door latches, for 1930 Lincoln, they were used and supplied to many custom body builders of the late twenties to early thirties, attached are photos of exactly what I am looking for, need 4 of them, 2 right hand and 2 left hand, very willing to pay good money, please go out and take a look in your garage, they were made by English & Mersick co. thank you....
  3. thank you guys for the 2 leads on the windshield frame I am looking to buy, sadly, the owners have no interest in selling, new year, new hopes to find one sooner than later..
  4. still hoping to be able to buy a windshield, any leads please???
  5. WTB, 1928 STuTZ open car windshield frame, posts, and spacer, please no reproductions, will pay good money, will buy bits and pieces, thank you thank you thank you
  6. totally understand the issues of rust and windshield frames, I can make a new one if needed and or blend an old one with new sections, yup you are right about needing the luck, lots of it, finding the windshield posts and frame, pretty much not going to argue about price, buying it is the goal, willing to pay good money. does anyone have a windshield assy they are willing to sell and or know of a lead? really dont want to turn this into a 10 year quest... thank you
  7. thank you everyone for the help, have talked to a couple of the guys and they have been most helpful, I did buy a 1928 stutz original car, still has the original cowl and doors, the back half of the body is not correct for the car, the rear body was made sometime in the late 50's/60's in the style of early 20's bearcat, bought it from a gentleman who is in his mid 90's and has owned the car since the early 50's, and from what I have learned, he was not a club joiner, a loner, he lived up in NW Washington near the Canada border, car is still drivable. he says he got the stutz without the rear body on it and built and or refitted the bearcat body on it, his memory isn't to sharp these days. I would like to find a original (no reproduction please) 1928 stutz windshield and posts, as the windshield has been replaced with brookland style windscreen, been talking with one gentleman, he is not sure he wants to sell his extra windshield and posts I would like to find one sooner than later, as I dont want to make this a 10 year project, have cash and willing to pay good money for one, I did buy one of Mr Francis bodies, with the plan to use the back section to replace the bearcat like back body, I do have all the original fenders, at this point the windshield is key part to making this all come together and restored in my lifetime. thank you thank you thank you
  8. here is the engine number from the block, 87638-C, what do you think?
  9. serial number 87638 C, what does the C represent/mean? should be a BB engine number, the C is what I am asking about, thank you in advance...
  10. great search tool, thank you for providing such a excellent website
  11. good afternoon, I know I am reaching back aways and hoping, In the mid to late 70's Dr, Davis of Wilsonville, Oregon had a 1928 STuTz Blackhawk speedster, it was sold and would like to see if anyone knows of this car, yes, I know it is a long shot, any and all info would be appreciated very much... and no, I am not related to him, yes, I did know him, thank you
  12. sorry I dont have pictures, I am try to understand the speedster, before I go and look at couple of STuTZ speedsters
  13. thank you all, at this point, I am trying to learn as much as I can, I find so much of the info is not very clear and looking for that one guy or guys that seem to know the speedsters inside and out. STuTZ did lots of interesting things in constructing cars, like the windshield/cowl used on the speedster, what else was it used on? 27 body vs 28 body, tails lights? step plates? and I could go on for awhile asking questions good reproduction makes it hard to tell the difference between the original, what are some of things to look at do have the Splendid STuTZ and have more questions than not from reading it are all speedsters Blackhawks or ? sorry for the dumb questions, usually I am pretty good at car history but this one has me a little confused, really looking to learn what is correct and what is not! thank you
  14. looking to chat and learn about the 1927/28 STuTZ 2 passenger speedster, any and all info is greatly appreciated
  15. looking for either a 110 or 115 Packard engine and transmission from a '37 Packard, needs to be at least rebuildable and complete. thank you
  16. to keep things honest and clear, my first, private message to the seller, included my phone number, and had hoped they would have called, I did send three more messages with no response, and 4 days later and three more messages to the seller, I did a message today, with an explanation, all is good, there are several family members involved, I wish them good luck with their sale, headed back to the shop, finishing up the old Lincoln touring sorry to have troubled the seller and wish them well fyi, IMHO, this old girl deserves to be restored despite the reality of what it is worth when done, but the smiles per mile on a cool fall day is priceless
  17. oh, I did answer his question, I am about 500 miles away and have a nice big trailer, help to load the Cadillac, cash, and confidence of what the old caddy is...and what is needed, just crickets, and have sent a couple more private messages with it no reply, I will be passing on it.
  18. call me crazy, I like the 1922 Cadillac, and have restored many a car for my personal use, with never a thought of selling, fyi, yes a sedan is much like a boat, just hull in the water to throw money in, yet, there are so few prefect days to drive an open car, that a sedan is very nice for the not so prefect days. I offered $3,500.00 and only response I received was, where did I live, so, my guess is, $3,500.00 will not buy it, oh well...
  19. great ad Anthony, thank for including a price, what are you asking for the boat tail roadster ? thank you
