[THANKS FOR A GREAT HERSHEY!!!]

I had FUN!!!

 

[THANKS FOR A GREAT HERSHEY!!!]

I have only been going to the show since the early 80's but I believe this was one of the top 3! Most friendly ever.Thank you Hershey region,I thought it was flawless.

[Attention: Trimacar, Edinmass, 1937hd45 and others]

Was not the Dodge also shown in HPOF that year?I recall seeing the old girl before.

[Directions to the show field]

Take exit  77 to Route 39 south.Runs right into entrance for show cars at Giant Center.

[Interesting original cars at local show]

What show was this??Love the original cars.

[Long term storage of car outside]

People like you are how the hobby started.Not everyone had a garage/workshop to work in.I would rather have a car ,sitting on a paved drive,with a QUALITY fitted car cover  at your home than at  a storage garage miles away.A lot of us started out working on the driveway.Perhaps the perfect garage will turn up in the future,till then work on it and have FUN

[Any way to see if you have a spark singlehandedly?]

Regarding 1 man spark checking,I keep a old but good LONG spark wire with a good spark plug in it.I run it from the distributor to the base of my windshield out side and crank away.If you want to hold it in your hand you can get the result faster

What a fine looking car.That 289 looks lost in ther.I can't help being a little jealous.

Please ,please,please Do not paint this car.It is breath taking as it is.You are very lucky

 

[preservation - Buffing Patina]

About once a month,I wipe down my original paint 57 Bel Air with WD-40.A little shiny to start.but dulls down nicely after a couple of days.Try it on an inconspicous  spot and see how you like.At any rate it does wear off.

No

[1995 3800 series II]

I had 2 coolant loss problems with my 93 LeSabre.The car only has 65000 miles.The first was the gasket between the throttle body and the intake plenum.It was such a small leak that i could smell the coolant long before i actually saw it dripping.It was turning to steam on the exhaust crossover.The second was the elbow out of the manifold connecting to the bypass hose near the water pump.Mine was plastic and cracked.Worth checking both before doing maifold gaskets again.

[74 Lesabre Convertible - I need some help with getting the right battery!]

My 73 Centurion with a 455 uses a Group 78.A 74 LeSabre should be the same-Have fun

[1996 buick century-high idle ??]

To be honest with you j.w.my Buick never set a check engine code.I changed the TPS on a mechanics advice

[1996 buick century-high idle ??]

Check for a code,but my symptoms on a 93 LeSabre were the same.A new throttle position sensor fixed it

[1955 Chevrolet oopsie]

Amen

[A few pics from the Fall Carlisle event]

Great pictures! Thanks for posting them. I hope you enjoyed your self.

[HPOF vs HPOF "Original"]

Amen.Now I better get out to the garage and make my HPOF cars more original before Hershey.

[Interesting concept at the Carlisle Meet.]

We also had only 2 judges.It was late,around 12:30,and we were amongst the last in our class(HPOF Orignal) to be evaluated.We waited around the car all morning for the evaluation.They spent perhaps 2 minutes under the hood looked at 1 door and told us that a dent from 1966 should be fixed and moved on.I will not be hanging around my car at future shows,I want to see the other cars,so I guess a half hearted evaluation is just not that important to me

[1974/75 Caprice]

Ken I read your helpfull replies to Gene Bryson Nice guys like you give me faith in the old car hobby.Good luck finding your wagon-Glenn

[Finally bought a vintage car - 1956 Fairlane Town Sedan]

Nice car,Hope you have many happy carefree miles
