1926 Ajax by Nash - $6800 - Morgantown, WV - Not Mine
58L-Y8 replied to 58L-Y8's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Yes, Incorrect English usage is irritating and too common in advertisements. I simply copy what they post, rather than correct what they write to "needs to be restored" or "needs restoration". This 1926 Ajax is an AACA HPOF Class prospect for the person who appreciates originality. -

Sometimes you have to send two or three email responses to get the seller to take you seriously. That's because he's no doubt received multiple scam responses already and deleted those. -
If you are cruising this site...Thinking about diving in:
58L-Y8 replied to keithb7's topic in General Discussion
Absolutely! Expensive, better-than-factory restorations of rare cars have a niche, but for ordinary mortals, an affordable old car that can be made dependable and presentable will return far more enjoyable experiences and enduring friendships, the real benefit. There is a pantheon of automotive history to select from, choose what appeals to you and can afford, don't worry if anyone else likes or think its a smart choice, its about pleasing yourself. Then, drive the car, include those who show interest even casual. Introduce younger people so cars of whatever your period won't seem so abstract or scary, you might create another old car enthusiast in the process. But, yes, dive in, there is plenty of support here. -
A lot of Ford Model T's, including a surprising number of Model T closed cars. The touring facing the camera has the square-framed headlights of '20's Studebakers.

1935 Pontiac Six Sedan - $6500 - Hansville, WA https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/d/hansville-1935-pontiac/7143231688.html 1935 Pontiac sedan barn find. An art deco streamline masterpiece from the original owners estate. The car is in remarkable condition and is very original , needing brakes and some tinkering to get running. The electrical is good and the motor turns over but will not start. The body shows wear and tear patina, some trunk rust and a bit of loose wood at the door hinges but overall the car is solid. This beauty would make a very nice and extremely rare restoration or as several pictures show, a cool rod project. This was the only year that General Motors used suicide front doors and also shares it's basic body with Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and LaSalle. Sold with bill of sale. Open to trades. Contact: respond by copy and paste into email: 6a87c24631ee3d6fab91f7d4493ab7ba@sale.craigslist.org I have not personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1935 Pontiac Six Sedan

1968 Cadillac Eldorado - South Jersey - Not Mine
58L-Y8 replied to 6T-FinSeeker's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Amen! Nothing sadder than a mid-'50's to '60's car that had a great color selections of wild period colors, such as turquoise, yellow, pink, rose-beige, iris magenta, light pistachio green, lavender, orange, bronze, etc, and the car is painted black, gray, white, resale red, tan or somber, bland color such as we have now. Wasted visual potential and just plain boring. -

His disciples should have bought him a White truck chassis, sent that to Bohmann & Schwartz! They could have chromed the radiator shell and put white-walls on it, That rear view is as ungainly and ghastly as all the rest! -

I didn't know there were any flattering views of that unfortunate Duesenberg... I recall a straight on front view which reveals how the body widens from the cowl like buses in the era did. The tall overall height, cut-off sausage rear body, heavily rounded window openings and 'humpback whale' side-mount covers all told make this the hands-down worst body any Duesenberg was saddled with. Wouldn't you know it, many of the gorgeous one-off custom bodies have been lost, but this atrocity survives. -

To restore it's true pinchpenny, skinflint self: dark blue paint the top shell, replace the tires with black-walls and the elegant full conic wheel-covers with painted dog-dish hubcaps! The simple, elegant lazy "S" hood badge was the best part of the trim. -

Advice that you'd give a guy that WANTED an early car
58L-Y8 replied to pkhammer's topic in General Discussion
Yes, it was true, white was considered appropriate for only ambulances and milk delivery trucks implying sanitary or pure and clean. It was also the color of a child's hearse, symbolizing innocence, The durability of white was poor, as it was for shades of red and maroon. Driving a white car would be consider gauche, in poor taste especially if it was an expensive make.
