  1. Haven't seen any Stutzes here, so thought I'd add my two cents.  1922 KLDH 4-passenger Sportster, 360 cubic inch four.  Original paint, upholstery (except driver's bottom cushion). Engine rebuilt with original Stutz oversize pistons, but not painted.  New top and tires.  Shows about 30,000 miles, but speedo was disconnected when I got it.  Only one listed in the Stutz Club roster.  Looks tacky, but drove it 400 miles on 2021 Modoc Tour.  Sat in a MA barn for many years until my friend inherited it from her father who bought it in 1947.  We drove it around the Indy track in 2011 for the 100th anniversary of Indy and Stutz.image.jpeg.a773a8ee2569fabbe6fedf9a1a9c98a7.jpeg

    Your generator should be a Remy 911-A

    Are you missing the generator all together?

    By Starter Brush Cap are you referring to the cover band or end housing?

    I can help you with these items.

    Hi Jason,

    Do you have the capability to repair distorted pot metal end castings on a Delco Model O-F?  (1922 Stutz)

    Thanks,

    Bob

  3. I need 2 usable latches that fasten the canvas top front header to the windshield posts for my 1922 Stutz KLDH Touring.

    My rusty one is pictured below, and has a slider which engages the notch on the windshield post.  There is a coil spring that the post presses against, and another smaller spring that keeps the slider engaged until it is pushed to release.  Size is 2.5” across.  Don’t know if it is common to other makes. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  5. After advertising for a 1933 Pierce-Arrow headlight switch, I received an email from RayMax@gmail.com, stating he has '1933 Pierce-Arrow parts, "email me for more details".  I replied "please describe in detail what you have, pictures are helpful." He replied:

    "Here is the attached picture of my 1933 Pierce-Arrow. I²m
    breaking this car for parts because of my health problem as I need to sell the car
    on time to raise funds to take care of my health problems.I want you
    to send me the list of parts that you are after , so that I can give
    you prices for them .
    I will also need your exact delivery address to allow me know if the
    delivery will be practical to your door step .
    My Regards ."  [no name]

     

    THE PICTURE of the car he was "breaking up" WAS OF A 1933 PIERCE SILVER ARROW (1 of 3 in the world) !!!

    I googled his email, and it turned up in a Russian dating service under "carautonews.xyz"

    Caveat emptor.

    Here is a rare photo........of Bob not wearing his hundred year old hat. He is bumming a ride onto the 18th green. He was very helpful getting the car ready for the field. Every time a beautiful lady walked by, he made sure to talk to them. While I poke fun at my friend......he was very helpful on the field that year when we had some very difficult issues to deal with. This year, we will have a car on the grass again, and I’m hoping that he and his better half stop by.......and buy me a twenty five dollar glass of champagne.

    Ed, thanks for the opportunity to clear things up.  I seem to remember it the other way 'round ...at that 2015 Pebble, I snapped this pic of you entertaining 4 ladies, telling them all about 'your' Packard and how much work you had to do to it !!!  Cheers !

    It’s a great car. I know he has been working hard to make it right. I can’t wait to take it for a spin and see how it drives. Maybe if I give him a two thumbs up approval we can take it through the drive through at In & Out Burger...........at those prices......it’s either you or I doing the buying! I can see him now, asking for twenty extra packets of catchup...........so he has some for the house. When he reads this one......he will be laughing and wincing at the same time. 
     

    He’s probably got a stash of McD’s catchup in the cupboard, along with their packets of salt and pepper. 

    Ed & George, you brought a smile to my face (actually laughed out loud). Actually, I prefer In-n-Out Burgers, and I'll treat you both there or at Carmel Coffee Roasters when we meet at Pebble Beach.  That is, if I have any spare cash after work on the 1242 Pierce, the '38 Buick, the '22 Stutz and the '54 Jaguar (all in and out of shops last year and this for everything from new carbs, new tops to complete brake systems and crankshaft turning).  Happy Valentine's Day. BTW - I might be wearing a new hat.

    I would like to find a headlight switch for a 1933 Pierce-Arrow, that attaches to the base of a Ross steering box.

    Perhaps other cars' switches (activated from lever on steering wheel hub thru tube in column) are the same (Delco-Remy 4-position plus 'off'). Picture below.

    Thanks.
