  2. The Lancaster newspaper got it right today when they called it a Model A. Too bad someone ruined this man's dream of owning this car. Terry

  6. Hello Richard, I sent your package via US Postal Service Priority Mail delivery. I will check to see what I can find out here. I think you should have received it by now. Will get back to you soon. This is the first problem I have had with Priority mail. Terry
  7. I saw this car sitting in a repair garage near Hershey last Friday. I was not able to stop to check it out (wife was driving our car at the time!). Terry
  8. Looks Like LaSalle (Cadillac) mid-30s? Terry
  9. As the father of a 20 year old son who grew up around my cars and motorcycles, I believe there are several reasons for lack of youth involvement. One is the decline in working on mechanical stuff by the general population. Most people no longer have tools or even an interest in fixing anything. Many of my son's friends would come to my house to fix or make things as I had the tools and a place to work on projects. Most said they were lucky to have a few hammers and screwdrivers in their home toolbox. They were surprised to lean that there was both SAE and metric in the fastener world. Another thing I see is the lack of cars that are exciting to own or restore. Most younger people like import cars and a few like pickup trucks for projects. I don't see too many youth that are impressed by 1950's to 1970's cars of any kind. Rather they look for Japanese and Euro cars like VWs to modify. Pickup trucks also offered a chance to personalize as many aftermarket parts exist for them. My son thinks the best car for him to "restore" some day is an older BMW. Finally, even those who show some interest in autos are more impressed with electronic devices and the "apps" they can get for them. Just hang out in an Apple store or Best Buy and see where the youth are. Now go to your local Sears tool center and see how many young people you see there. Most times its just me and a few others about my age (61) hanging out in the automotive tool area. I predict the next generation of restorers will be working on a much more international mix of cars than we old Detroit iron lovers could have ever imagined. Their numbers will be small but their passion for what they are doing will be strong. Terry

  13. There was a Buick dealership not too far from the funeral home so the number of Buicks mentioned here makes sense. And I agree that the lead car is not a Packard as I first thought. Thanks for all your comments, Terry

  19. This is a used grill emblem that came as a spare for a 1937 Dodge 1/2 ton pick up I used to own. There are no part numbers on it that I can find. Condition is good in my humble opinion.

Exact shipping charge depends on method of shipping buyer prefers.
