American Bantam made a 4-wheel steering as well as the first Jeep design but they were too small to win the government contract to supply the war effort. It might have been one of those you are referring to???

1915 or 16 T Ford, the firewall to hood section is unique to those two years.

Pretty sure the sedan is a 1929 Peerless 8-125

Dusty is on it, do a search for 1931 Henney Hearse and you’ll find that is the vehicle.

I don’t know if you have tripped over this website but it shows information on the name badges (aka emblems) related to the Cameron and some company information. They are listed as being pretty hard to find which is not surprising… http://www.americanautoemblems.com/search/label/CAMERON Good luck with your search!

To me the sheet music picture appears to have the in-windshield frame lights which I believe came out in 1920, but I believe the Big 6 is the model.

Only one time, a 1922 Bay State sedan , and the newest owner was hoping to find parts that were missing from when I sold it some 25 years prior. All I had was the bill of sale from buying the car and the pictures of it when it was pulled out of a greenhouse… From what I’ve seen he’s making a go of a decent restoration of a pretty rough car.

Don’t laugh, this happened before… about 30 years ago I was helping pick up a car from a dealer in New Hampshire and that dealer had a super well professionally restored Model A Phaeton in his shop that only needed the top finished - he was selling it for the wife of a friend who had passed away and she “only wanted to get the $7500.00 he had in it” back out. There was no way in the world he had less than 20k in the restoration even then… All our cars, antique or modern, are titled in both our names with surviving ownership to make it easier to sell them if something happens, and I believe most states offer this type of title. As far as what happens to them is up in the air but any spare parts are well labeled so they can be kept with the car and I’ve put a note with the will for a few things that I think belongs somewhere specific as well. Hopefully I have many more years to enjoy driving them around…

From memory, there was a specific time when the frames started to get stamped and it was during 1925. I think the exact serial number is listed in Bruce McCauley’s book on T Ford cars but I don’t exactly know where my copy is to check…

A set of 5 tires tubes and flaps for the Pierce was just under $2500 and that was a year before COVID made them unobtainable. Everything else Ed put numbers on was pretty accurate compared to what I did (and didn’t do) to get mine done. Sticker shock aside your reference to Dirty Harry is too accurate to be funny…

Love the look of that Buick, even more than the Packard and other cars in the lineup… awesome to see it getting exercise!

Yes sir Paul, Clocks are interesting too, also antique guns, bells, and nautical decor, but not as much fun as tooling around the coast in a 30’s car 🤣🤣

The original post was over 10 years old… they were sold not long after.

Better than the people who ask me what year my Model A is… when I say it’s a Pierce Arrow they never heard of it and then they think it’s a foreign car. One reason I prefer driving to shows.

Well yes, but it was in a completely different context of time… 68 Cougar, 72 Rustang, a buddy of mine had couple of the wide track Pontiacs which he had a thing for. Of course they were 10-15 year old $#1tboxes as Hemi Joel pointed out. Say what you want but rear wheel drive and extra mass to loose control of makes winter driving more difficult, but either way it’s his car and his money to throw out any way he wants to - so rather than trying to publicly shame the guy why not try buying or trading a less interesting car for it

As my post said, I really did get the point… I just thought it humorous from a not so funny side.

Although I get what you’re saying here, something tells me that she would most likely not need a license to drive anything while she was sleeping with Hitler… just a thought.

Mine too, especially when we are seeing mid 20’s weather here in the morning… (yes we’re acclimated to the summer heat now)

It’s the screw portion of a 3-piece hood ornament - radiator cap. The cap would have a through hole and a separate T-nut underneath which would stop on a post hanging off the bottom of the cap itself. It goes into a radiator neck with two notches and as you tighten it the nut turns slightly to stop on the post and you keep turning the part you have until the radiator is sealed. When you loosen it the nut stops again after turning loose enough to hit the post and it is again aligned with the slotted radiator neck. On the truck in the picture it goes on the radiator which is behind the hood, and Craig’s right that it’s from an early Mack “Bulldog” which was produced by the International Motor Company in New York, hence the IM logo.

I think it’s for the Fordson tractor. It has been several years since I saw one but pretty sure that’s it…

And you absolutely could…

I think it’s for a vehicle that had the plate mounted to the right with the red lens to the vehicle’s left side. Maybe a commercial vehicle application so that the plate can be below a truck bed for space consideration???

If you can find a Remy that doesn’t have pot-metal issues you are doing well… as I recall from the 24 SS I had Wagner were mostly cast iron and they aged much better. That said also ask around the Studebaker section as I believe the earlier starters for the Big 6 and Special 6 also fit in the engine (the basic design was used for several years). I had a friend with a couple cores more than a few years ago but I don’t know if he has them anymore, I’ll check but I’m not betting on it.

When you are buying a car, it’s common as dirt, but when you’re selling it it’s “RARE”… Look up the definition and realize that very few cars can be considered “rare” as they are not always a single unique item nor seldom found. Yes there are some makes that survive in low numbers but claiming it to be the last in existence is fantasy, they were produced in numbers and a second is always possible. “Rare” is the most abused description in the English language.

The problem might be ignition related as the distributor is missing. It mounts right on the front of the engine where the rag is. One problem with those was a pot-metal bevel gear driving the distributor but someone was making them 25 years ago when I had the 24. At the age, assume the engine needs everything done and you won’t be disappointed. Still a great buy for the money IMO.
