58L-Y8

It finally hit me what make this was: 1929-'30 Viking V8, Oldsmobile's Companion Car, with a mono-block V8 engine three years before the Ford V8. If it was white, its a good likelihood it as an ambulance. White was considered appropriate for only milk trucks and ambulances then...also a child's hearse.

1966 AMC Rambler American Convertible - $8200 - Fremont, Ohio - Not Mine https://sandusky.craigslist.org/cto/d/old-fort-1966-amc-rambler-american/7142368880.html This is a 1966 Rambler American Convertible, 440 trim package. It has 64,000 miles with a 232 straight six engine. Automatic transmission. I've had it a few years and it's time to send it along to someone new. I've had the bumpers re-chromed and it's had some minor restoration done to it. The car has received Gold awards in our AMC Car Club show. It is a blast to drive though it won't win any drag races. New brakes and carburetor have been put in. Old Fort area. No trades. Contact: Through CL email link. I have no personal stake or interest in the eventual sale of this 1966 AMC Rambler American Convertible. Though, will note it looks like economical summer fun.

Here's a closer view.

Not rare at all, 1948-'49 22nd Series Eights and Eight Deluxes were their highest production postwar models, not hard to find in decent shape like this car.. They're rugged, virtually bulletproof mechanically, the four door sedans the most plentiful. The Standard Eight has the 288 cu in eight, if this car has overdrive, it makes them more flexible and enjoyable to drive.

Your best people to advise on the pro and cons of each choice are found in the club dedicated to those makes and years. I'd suggest making contact with the clubs, ask to speak with those most knowledgeable and familiar with the specific models. You'll get it 'straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak' better than we can advise.

Sorry to hear that he ended up the way he did, I read his obituary at the end of December last year. FSB was unique, one of those passionate car collectors to the end. We had many good discussions about orphan cars over the years, he was widely knowledgeable about a lot of makes, not just Studebakers. I rode from RIT campus out to the Victor show 30 some years ago in his Franklin, remember seeing him at the Franklin Centennial which he tried to drive the Franklin out to before trouble developed. Glad to know its been passed along to another collector. RIP FSB.

What caught my attention on this '65 Montclair was the manual shift with overdrive. In 1972, my father bought a pair of '67 Mercurys, both four door hardtops. The Monterey was 390 Merc-O-Matic had taken a front hit, needed another front clip. Montclair was a towing package 410 with four speed on the floor! It had been hit in the rear, gave its front clip to the Monterey, its 410 and four speed to guys setting up drag cars if I recall correctly.

Anyone who was interested in orphan make cars knew FSB (that's what I called him when I'd see him at RIT). He told me he bought the Franklin in 1963, his first old car. Do you know who got his '40 Hudson?

The seller notes it needs the rocker panels replaced and that he has a set, though in general looks like a Packard one could enjoy now for a reasonable price and work on later.

BTW Nice-looking Franklin roadster, I'm sure you've seen me lurking around car shows for years. You sold Famous Studebaker Bob's '30 Franklin years ago. I was the gray-beard drooling over Russ Laidlaw's '33 Auburn Twelve convertible coupe...

Hat-In-the-ring logo and 4 wheel hydraulic brakes was Rickenbacker and he may have had one, though I never saw it, he kept much of his collection out of sight. Tom was always big on sports cars, drove Jaguars, restored either the burned Porsche or another one when he had the RV dealership.

Tom had a '32-'33 Rockne sedan I remember, got somewhat fire-damaged but not a total loss. Tom married Marjory Tunningley, old M.E. Tunningley the DeSoto-Plymouth dealer's daughter. Many of Tom's cars came from his father-in-law's collection.

Sound good, we'll do that this summer. I have a '53 Packard Clipper that needs some exercise mileage once in a while.

Yes, I knew Tom Stamp, saw that '38 Bentley 4 1/4 L MX sport sedan before it was lost in the 1976 fire in his Dansville shop. Mental images of that Bentley still haunt me...

Yeah, once in a while, I'll PM you when this virus situation is done, run over for a visit.

Yes, the Hogs Trough was quite the rough place but gone now. The inmates were the people you recall, pretty rough crowd, got very rowdy many times, back before the DWI laws put the clamp on such shenanigans. Dalton had the Banking House, a good deal more 'civilized' than the Trough. The Banking House is gone completely now too. Even our last bar closed and is now a daycare facility. Times change, however slowly even here. The only time people come through Dalton now is to go to the Maple Tree Inn for pancakes in the late winter-spring, get lost because the roads are confusing south of here. BTW the Hog's Trough was in Oakland, down west of Nunda, just over the Town of Portage line because Nunda was a dry town left over from the days when the Nunda town fathers wouldn't have a booze joint in their village...but weren't opposed to visiting them in other towns, such as the Genessee Falls Hotel and others...

1949 Packard Standard Eight - $5500 - OH - Not Mine https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/d/rootstown-1949-packard/7141053604.html 1949 Packard all original never painted or modified, runs and drives good has some new basic parts. Has some rust in the rockers have new rockers need installed. Phone calls only NO TEXT. Contact: Randy (330) - 2-eighty-three - thirty-nine-09 I have no personal stake or interest in the eventual sale of this 1949 Packard Standard Eight sedan. Parenthetically, I will note that clubs, regions, parts and on-line help support for Packards is among the best for any orphan nameplate.

When folks I meet when visiting family and friends in Colorado, they assume I must be from NYC. Dalton is about 300 miles from the Big Apple, more akin to western Pennsylvania and Ohio. I even had my brother-in-law's sister tell me "It must be wonderful to go to all those Broadway shows." She was surprised when I told here how far away NYC was from here and that I have never been to a Broadway show. In fact, she lives closer to Denver than I do to NYC. Poor geography familiarity is systemic.

The windshield and door tops are the dead give-away. Neither are configured the way they built bodies then, not even the convertible coupes. Worst, they rarely add any structural bracing to the pillars so the poor car is a shaky mess when driven.

Good! Glad to see these ads get results.

Glad to see this unusual '65 Mercury Montclair found an appreciative new owner.

1959 LINCOLN PREMIERE SEDAN - $10500 - New York https://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/d/clarence-center-1959-lincoln-premiere/7140804587.html# Really sharp LINCOLN PREMIERE SEDAN. It is an older restoration but with just minimal TLC this already special car can be outstanding. Runs and drives just fine. Well loved and cared for. Take a look at the pictures and give me a call with any questions you may have or set a time for a test drive. George (7-sixteen) nine-12-four-thousand-2 Notes: 75,000 miles, one of 1,282 1959 Lincoln Premiere pillared hardtop sedans built. I have no personal interest or stake in the eventual sale of this 1959 Lincoln Premiere. Parenthetically, When I was a LCOC member twenty years ago, I was told these unibody 1958-'60 Lincolns and Continentals were among the most difficult and expensive cars to restore properly.

There is a 1929 Cadillac 341-B five passenger Victoria coupe by Fisher about two miles from here that was disassembled in the 1970's including the engine. Its now been wished off on the grand-nephew of the prior owner. The grand-nephew still entertains notions of a restoration himself although the has not the shop, tools and worst skills to do it. Encouragement to pass it onto a Cadilac collector with the resources and skills necessary have mostly fallen on deaf ears, even after cuing him in on how costly a proper restoration will be.
