  1. Neat Model T. I wonder if all those huge windows are safety glass? Henry F.
  2. A complete, running, driving '14 T roadster was available for $8,000 in the R-M Fall Auburn Car Corral. Henry F.
  3. Thank you. I can't remember where or when bought it but its taking a one way trip to Hershey! Stop by C2F51-53 and say hello. Regards, Henry
  4. Zenith Carb sign. Cases of 6v and 12v bulbs, bulbs and more bulbs. Auto dealer yardsticks. '56 Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac-GMC-Datsun-AMC
  5. Lots of miscellaneous stuff for sale at Hershey by two guys with over 60 years each in the hobby. Rolls-Royce and Bentley to Ford and Chevy. Lots of 6 and 12 volt bulbs, US, foreign, Lucas, Marchal, Bosch, singles, boxes, or buy them all. Ancient back lit, two sided "Zenith Carburetors" sign. Bentley center lamp from the late forties or early fifties. Buick Clock from the fifties.
  6. You have to love some of the really oddball vehicles that were manufactured. Henry
  7. I've become a Model A Fordor fan and Cap't Jeff's car looks absolutely great. But do I need another one? No white walls here, either. Henry Feinberg Ft. Myers, FL
  8. Perhaps it could be donated to a museum? AACA? Scrap is pretty low so there's not much value here, and once it's gone, it's gone. Henry F.
  9. Cash is king. Bank to bank wire transfers are safe, too. The pens that "check currency" are useless if a $5 bill has been bleached and reprinted as $100. The pen only detects the legitimate paper. Best check for most bills in circulation is to hold it up to a light and make sure that the watermark face matches the printed face on the bill. Personally, I'm more comfortable with a personal check than a cashier's check. Have you noticed how long it takes a personal check to be debited from you account when the payee negotiates it? These days it's minutes or hours instead of days. Best bet is to profile the buyer during the negotiations and you can usually get to know the buyer. It's worked for me, hope it helps you. Henry F.
  10. Not mine but it's on our local (SW FL) Craigslist. It's been advertised before but I think that the price is lower.
  11. John Weinberger's Ferrari dealership on Ogden Avenue in Hinsdale, IL. Fly in and drive one home? 😎 Henry F.
  12. Guys (and gals), We all know......... Some cars sell fast, some take a long time to find a new home. For sellers, they usually bring "less than they're worth" but they're never worth more than a buyer will spend. This looks like it's probably the best late Model T out there and represents a great value but it's priced in the brass T range so it may take some time for Mr. or Ms. Right to come along. Just my two cents. Henry F.
  13. Love those old dealer signs, but if your budget won't allow, how about a Buick clock? Not trying to hijack your listing, just showing a lower price alternative. Henry F.
  14. My third car was a '24 Dodge California Top Touring, in 1961. I agree with all of the good comments about "12 volt Dodges". Dependable and virtually unstoppable. I recall the old-timers calling them "stump pullers". In my shop, I have an 8 x 10 black & white photo of it at the Illinois State Fair 1961 Antique Car Show. Henry
  15. Thanks to a relative of Fred Duesenberg who I knew in Indianapolis in 1966, I was taken to visit him and see the car. I came away with a couple of fancy of sales catalogs, one autographed to me by Mr. Duesenberg. Now if I can only find them. I was impressed with the car and meeting its namesake. Henry Feinberg
  16. Looks fabulous! I had no idea that there was such a thing as a 1930 Vicky. Price looks reasonable, too bad it's in Left Field. Henry F.
  17. Second graders on their way to becoming top quality restorers. They have to start somewhere.
  18. Love those old Nashes. This looks like a nice car and a great price. Wish that I could find my '29 Special Six 3-window coupe that I sold in about 1962.
  19. Now this is something different Get's two thumbs up. We lived near South Bend for about sixty years and saw lots of Studebakers, but I don't recall seeing one like this. Unusual car at a great price. Good luck finding it a new home. Regards, Henry
  20. Gun smoke Posted May 22 "Nice survivor but....Problem is a decently restored and running 4dr 1928 Ford can be had for circa $8K-$12K." I agree about restoring this car. I'm a buyer for any year, decently restored and running Model A Fordor sedans for $8,000 to $10,000. The closer to FL, the better. P.M. me if you've got one for sale. Thank you! Henry F.
  21. Non-ethanol gas is readily available around Ft. Myers. Yes, it costa a little more, but I only buy it for the '36 Ford. Our '61 Bentley is happier with premium unleaded and the Model A's don't care what goes in their gas tanks. Regards, Henry
