  2. For Sale: 1941 Studebaker President Eight Skyway Land Cruiser - Ambitious Project - $8,000 - Clint, TX - Still Available, Minor Price Reduction to $6,000: 5-13-2024. See New Link Below. 1942 Studebaker President - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle... (craigslist.org) Seller's Description: This is a great car to restore, it is 90% complete. As far as I can tell the radio and the trunk release handle are missing. The body is almost perfect, meaning that there are virtually no dents in the body and only surface rust. The rear fender on the passenger side is dented. You need to see it to see how nice the car is. I would like to have the buyer restore the car rather than see a street rod made out of it, but that will be your call. The engine is the original flat head straight eight that turns over and was running when I purchased it 2yrs. ago. The odometer reading may or may not be correct. It has not been fired up since. If you have any questions please call me as texting does not convey information very well. Thanks. Also to purchase please: In person and cash only.

Note: The 1941 Studebaker President Eight Skyway Land Cruiser 4dr Sedan was the topline model at $1,260. The production for all three 1941 Studebaker President Eight body styles was 6,994 cars. Richard Quinn, editor emeritous of the "Antique Studebaker Review", publication of the Antique Studebaker Club, researched the production orders for all 1938 through 1942 Studebaker Commanders and Presidents. Mr. Quinn reported in his article titled "How Many Were Made? A Statistical Breakdown of President and Commander Production 1938-1942" July/August 2009, pages 18-24. Production for the 1941 Studebaker President Skyway Land Cruiser, Model 7C, Body Symbol B7 was 1,251 cars. Although no number of survivors of this model have been reported, perhaps a dozen cars in all states of condition would be a realistic assumption.

  3. This 1955 Imperial has appeared at a local car show I attended, appears to be a well-preserved, mostly original example. The leather seating surfaces might be savable with conditioner and crease filler which is available. The Imperial-specific cloth inserts could use a gentle cleaning but are also surprisingly not torn or threadbare. The horn ring will be an expensive and difficult part to replace, may require re-casting in a more durable material. But, for a Northeast car, this is an exceptionally well-preserved one, we're used to much worse.
  4. Crusty: The 1936-1938 years of the entry-level Cadillac were Series 60. As mentioned, they shared with other upper-medium-priced GM makes, specifically the B-Body and chassis components. The Cadillac 60, LaSalle and Buick Century coupes had among the best power-to-weight ratios, were considered 'a gentlemen's hot rod' in the era. The B-Body Cadillacs became the Series 61 for 1939, took a hiatus for 1940, then returned for 1941 to replace LaSalle in the price segment a step below the Series 62, also as an alternative choice to the Buick Roadmaster Series 70. The primary thing to understand about what was happening to Cadillac and LaSalle in the latter years of the 1930's up to the advent of WWII was the days of lavish, cost-be-damned luxury cars were largely over when Nicholas Dreystadt became Cadillac general manager in 1934. His mandate was to return Cadillac to being a profitable division while developing new, smaller mass-market luxury cars that would sell in volume yet still uphold the Cadillac reputation for quality and prestige. Dreystadt accomplished his mandate with Prussian efficiency, Cadillac sold 12,913 for 1936; for 1941: 66,169. During the intervening years, he had ended the OHV V-12 and V-16, consolidated the L-head V-16 onto the 75 chassis then ended the V-16 for good, had instituted significant component sharing with Olds and Buick, brought LaSalle customers along to eventually fold them into the Cadillac fraternity. And probably caused a pleasant grimace on dour Alfred Sloan's face when the subject of Cadillac profitability was the matter under discussion. Ask a simple question...get a dissertation... Steve

  11. It appears to be a later Willys L-head four cylinder, likely from a Jeep.
  12. This Mercury shows a color combination that the auto industry offered in the 1940's: green exteriors with red interiors. The color pairing, we most associate with Christmas was considered stylish.

  16. General body architecture of production cars in any period follows an evolutionary form that the majority of buyers will accept. There are inflection points which periodically interrupt that slow evolution. The marque identity still centered on the radiator, headlights ensemble in the early 1930's, something the streamlining trend would rapidly change.
  17. This Pierce-Arrow was a fixture at Rochester, NY area car shows for decades when the well-known owner lived in the area. I enjoyed seeing for years back then, gave me exposure to the late production models.
  18. What strikes me is how plain and ordinary the 1957 Spohn is through the central body section disregarding the outlandish front and rear styling.

(craigslist.org) Seller's Description: Here is a 1940 Oldsmobile 2-Dr. sedan BARN find that actually runs, the motor (230 flathead 6) is whisper quiet, clutch and transmission work as intended, it drives, but brakes are not good, interior needs some work, seats appear to be whole they are covered and I don't want to disturb them, glass is good, all trim is really bright, body is near perfect. I have been under this vehicle front to back I could not find any rust or panels that appeared to have been patched or replaced. The paint is very presentable. It is said to have been an estate car, no proof. Look the photos over and you can dream what it would look like with your touch. It would be an easy and quite inexpressive project to restore as a old classic/antique or a PERFECT start for a real nice Custom or Street Rod. It is too old to have a title in Maine, it has been here it's whole life, It will be sold on a Bill of Sale basis for CASH only. If you need further information about this car, .

  23. Is the device mounted on the crank location on this 1910's Lozier Briarcliff a compressed air driven starter?
  24. "Inside and out, every dramatically new detail makes Lincoln for 1957, now, more than ever, unmistakably, the finest in the fine car field!" Intoned in the bright, sophisticated voice of Julia Meade, Lincoln-Mercury spokes-lady and cohost of The Ed Sullivan Show.
