    1914 Mitchell Light Six

    in Parts Wanted

    Posted

    I'm looking for the tail light stand with the license plate bracket for any 4 or 6 cyl. 1914 Mitchell. This mounts on the left rear fender.

    Also looking for the rad emblem used on 1913 and some 1914 Mitchells.

    I'm missing some threaded nickeled caps off my windshield. The caps cover the spring and detent balls on both panes of glass.

    Or better yet would be a complete 14 windshield with the top pane that folds down. There seems to have been 3 different windshield that were used in 14. Mine is 2 panes that swing open but the top doesn't fold down.  Most of the original pictures show the folding windshield however all 3 are correct. I've added a picture showing the windshield I'd like to find.

    Any other 14 parts??

    This car is new to me. I'm interested in talking to other 14 owners.

    Dave Pictures of the nos muffler apart

    it is pressed sections each with a rib inside and two baffles, simple but if you had to recreate these days it would cost you a fortune?

    most of my english trucks mufflers built upto the early 20’s had cast ends with one or two rods going through a plain tube and a seperate baffle section inside that the rods passed through like this one

    I believe this is a Powell Muffler. This was factory on my 14 Premier. I've had mine apart and had to repair a few weak spots. Cast ends with a cutout at the front. Works well and sounds good.

    Looking for people with 'brass era' Oakland experience

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I've owned my 1912 Oakland 40 touring for more than 40 years and I've toured it over 25000 miles in that time. It's been extremely reliable. I can only remember once having to come in on the trailer. It's very happy at 35-40 mph. No starter but is easy to hand crank and always starts after a few pulls. I've always wondered why more of these cars haven't survived as mine has been almost bullet proof.

    Back in the early 1980's I was busily restoring my 1912 Oakland 40 touring. One day I got a letter in the mail from Stan Reynolds. It was a form letter that had the blanks filled in with my Oakland and it stated Stan wanted to buy my car!! What I'll always remember about that letter is it asked me to state how far it was from the nearest grain silo. I lived in the middle of Vancouver and I remember thinking this guy is nuts! I still have my Oakland. We had a chance to visit the Reynolds museum a few years ago when we were on an HCCA tour in Edmonton. Got a chance to go through the storage building. What did I see? Up on the top rack is a very complete but totally unrestored 12 Oakland 40 touring. I guess Stan found one after all.

    If a six cylinder Dodge, probably yes. If an eight cylinder Dodge then it seems less likely that it would fit properly.

    Dodge never made an 8 cyl car in 34. I would expect a 34 Dodge passenger car rear end would be the same as the Plymouth

    WTB 34 Plymouth Coup Fuel Tank

    in Chrysler Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell

    Posted

    I put a new tank in my 34 Dodge Coupe. It's the same as the Plymouth. I got it from Tanks Inc. It went in easily with no modifications to the body required. It does have the gas tank sender opening in a slightly different spot on the top of the tank. I had to lengthen the wires a bit. The filler neck is also a bit different. It fits fine but you'll have to use the cap that comes with the tank. The other option would be to have your original filler removed and installed on the new tank.

    Good luck with your project. The 34 Plymouth coupe is a great looking and driving car.

    I've had my 1912 Oakland 40 since 1979. It was a difficult restoration that was finished in 1987. Since then I've toured it for over 20,000 miles. It's a good reliable runner that has only once let me down on tour.

    My other orphan car is a 1914 Premier Z2 Touring. It's a 6 cyl 415 cu.in. T head that I've had for the last 4 years. Not too many Premiers around. I have only found one other 1914. Great car to drive with lots of power.
