Hello All, This past weekend I picked up a set of cowl lights at a flea market. I don't know what car they are from, but figured if I don't need them someday maybe someone else might. They measure 2 and 11/16 inches wide by 2 and 3/8 inches deep. Any help in identifying the make, model, year(s) that they came from would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Ray

Sad news for everyone in the hobby, especially those who are fans of vintage British sports cars. The Roadster Factory, located in Indiana County in western Pennsylvania, burned down on Christmas Day. The company is a well known supplier of parts for vintage sports cars. Apparently the firemen were able to rescue a few cars from the showroom, but otherwise the business was a total loss. Below is a link to a news story with additional details.

Thanks to everyone for their responses, the suggestions, and the funny posts. This forum is a great place with great people.

I'm taking a shot in the dark on this one, but figure it can't hurt to ask and maybe just maybe I'll get lucky. I live in the SE part of Pennsylvania and I seem to recall a member who lives in or near Lancaster County, PA mentioning that they know of an Amish shop that repairs/rebuilds batteries for cordless power tools. If this rings a bell with anyone please let me know by posting here or by PM. Thanks in advance for the help !!!

I picked this up in a box lot of vintage auto parts at an auction and I'm not sure what it is. A fellow auction attendee said it's a coil, but he didn't know for what and it's nothing I'm familiar with. It has substantial weight to it, and It has a plate on the base indicating it was made by "The Truitt Electrical Mfg. Co. South Bend, Ind." Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Just stumbled across this auction by McGrew Equipment Company in Littlestown, PA, which is a large auction of restored tractors and tractor related collectibles, and this one car, which the auctioneer lists as a Ford Crestline Skyliner Glass Top. I believe it's a 1954, based on the photos, which there are several of on the auction site. I have no interest in or connection to the sale of this car, just thought I would pass it along in case anyone is interested. Hopefully the link below will work and will take you to the auction listing. https://mcgrewbid.com/servlet/Search.do?auctionId=54&itemId=15156#auctionId%3D54%26categoryName%3DCars%2B%26%2BSUV%27s

The older you are, the more you remember the days when Sears sold just about anything and everything. At a flea market this past weekend I found this flyer from Sears with a print year of 1953 advertising its rebuilt engines. It's a total of eight pages plus it still has the original order blank and envelope. I'm included photographs a few of the pages here so you can check out the prices and see if they sold something for your car. Notice that they don't list anything for luxury lines such as Cadillac, Lincoln, Packard, etc.

I'm sure Delage did not refer to this as a "Woody" (if they actually built it) , but it is something different, and you would be sure to attract attention wherever you went. Hopefully someone more familiar with this maker will chime in regarding originality, etc. I have not connection to, or interest in, the sale of this vehicle. More photos are available on the Craigslist listing below. 1921 Delage DE for sale by owner - Manchester Center, VT - craigslist

I believe these are 1970's vintage for a Ford product (Please let me know if I'm wrong or if you have more precise info. on them). The center cap has the part number 253647 on the inside, and they measure 16 inches in diameter when measured from edge to edge. They are used, and two are better than the third, so please look at the photos. Good for an unrestored "driver" type vehicle. I want to sell all three as a group for $40 plus postage. Thanks for looking.

I believe this is a hubcap for a 1940 and/or 41 Ford (Please let me know if I'm wrong). It's definitely not a mint one, as it has some scuffs and dings, but if you need one to match other "used" ones on an unrestored driver type vehicle, this is what you're looking for and it's only $15 plus postage.

Thanks for the quick response Bob and old car fan. I guess that's why it has "CA" as part of it's ID number. Hopefully I learn something new every day, and the AACA forums are a great place to learn !!!

I'll probably feel dumb once someone IDs this, as it's probably something I should know. This came along with a tray lot of other tools that I bought at an auction of items from a guy's small one man car repair shop. The box is unmarked and nothing else has markings except the cone shaped piece, which is stamped VULCAN and CA-15 (or CA-IS, it's difficult to read). The six plugs are flat on one end and threaded on the other end so they can be attached to the handle that's visible in the photos. Thanks for looking !!!
