  1. The dash looks correct except for the radio. But I do believe 30 Cadillac was the first year for a radio. Also has the chrome trim but missing the dash lights.
  2. Paint + tires + sort engine + maybe some interior work + vinal top + mechanical = sell and buy another car on the road. Hagerty price guide shows a value of $23,000 in #1 condition and shows 65 T birds are dropping in value.
  3. Nice talking with you also Terry and will drop by at Hershey for a visit. Also thanks for the info posted above. Anyway the start of a collection seeing I have more than three items if that is the general consensus rule. Using an Alumite display box I am thinking from the teens that I bought somewhere in NY state years ago. Made of wood then wrapped in tin. I will have to search the barn as I am sure I have a couple of tin boxes full of old spark plugs I bought at auction again years ago. What do people collect in plugs like everything, a brand, country of origin or oddball??
  4. A friend passed and I inherited a box of new spark plugs that came from his grandfathers automotive store that closed in the 60s. Here is a sample of a few of the plugs I got. Any info on usage or rarity would be appreciated. On the end of the box with the dark insulator it says nine lives spark plugs from the Canadian Carbon Co. The second one says all in one by the Frontier Specialty Co. with a patent date of Jan 1900 . The other two are different as one has a handle and both are Campion Priming Plug. The picture on the box does not have a handle I can see so I guess they came both ways. Thanks for any info Joe
  5. How about a Canadian made 1914 Buick model M55 aluminum body 7 passenger touring. The M55 is 5 in wider at the cowl than the B55. Of 3 M55 were made this is the only survivor left and it is complete with an extra engine. Still in pieces in Oshawa that may be on the road some day. Have pictures of it on another computer that is giving me a hard time.
  6. In the news again Rustic cabin in the woods that comes with 300 classic cars hits the market for $400,000 (but it's CASH buyers only) (msn.com)
  7. I was helping at the gate at a swap meet and over heard a fellow talking to a friend. He was saying that he was so happy he was able to sell his vintage car and now looking for a replacement. What startled me was when he said the next one will have to have power windows and air conditioning. When I buy a vintage car my wife hopes for doors and side glass.
  8. You should try Lindsay Swap meet that is worth the extra drive.
  9. How hard is it to sell a project today and I would think 95% are four door cars and they have been picked long ago of the good parts. There is a reason the yard is being sold with inventory.
  10. Up here there was a swap meet that went on for decades run by the Ontario Region AACA chapter. When the Ontario chapter ran into parking issues they moved the event to a new location an hour away to another fair ground. The fair board from the old location revived the event at the original location and has done very well. Now there is two swap meets rather than the one. One issue was the fair board used the same date causing a great deal of friction all around. AACA Ontario changed their date a month later mainly for wormer dryer weather. Another thing that happened is the original location fair board used the original name for their swap meet Stirling named after the town it was in. So the yeas of advertising was given away causing a dump truck of confusion with attendees and everyone else. So the Stirling fair board started a new swap meet using the original date, name and location and ran with it. Never name a swap meet after the location name unless you register the name so no one else can use it. The only issue Ontario region has now is trying to get volunteers as the membership is aging and declining. Antique Automotive Flea Market (aacaontario.ca)
  11. It was a no sale at 30,000. My biggest fear seeing the under carriage it has never had a full restoration unless done many decades ago that the wood needs replacing.
  12. Talking to a friend and telling me that the reason for LED tail light bulbs having a delay is because of the flasher needing heavier voltage to operate as normal. He says to switch to a lighter duty flasher if possible.
  13. I bought LED for my 30 Cadillac tail lights as I have in the past have had folks comment about the original not being very bright. I have Just put them in so will have to wait till spring to see if it makes others happy. I have Quarts in the headlights and happy with that but they do draw more power.
  14. Not mine but here is a 1931 V12 Cadillac 5 passenger coup for sale on BAT. Could use a freshen up including a new interior. The front original seat will be a challenge to find but I do have the patterns for the tilt handwear. 1932 Cadillac 370-B V-12 Five-Passenger Town Coupe for sale on BaT Auctions - ending January 23 (Lot #134,235) | Bring a Trailer
