I was there on Friday and can’t remember seeing larger crowds, in spite of the very cool weather. I have been going since the late 70s and was very pleased to see the large attendance.

Thank you. This makes sense to me also.

I think that is a Chevrolet bow tie sign on the wall. Not a part of the shelf. Good eye though.

This is the part that has me wondering. No Ford script of logos on the shelf or containers. Most Ford tools and parts contain some sort of marking indicating Ford application. JFRANKLIN what gives you any indication that this was a Ford item? just curious?

Is anyone familiar with this Ford parts selection. I was told that this was a standard small part selection for Model A Fords at the dealership.

While transferring a title at penndot in Harrisburg, as I got the new title and license for my 2001 Corvette, I reviewed the title and owners card and both said 1901 Chevrolet Corvette. While bringing it to the attention of the same processing clerk, I was made to feel like the mistake was my fault. Go figure? anyway later I was telling this story to a friend who was in the process of buying a 2001 Mustang convertible and believe it or not the same thing happened to him. I am glad that both of us corrected this on the spot, but I wonder how many 1901 Cars are still driving around in Pa. At this time.

I have owned a few cheap cars that I bought for little or no money, mostly while working in several junk yards in central Florida in the 60s, but I have never had such a great outcome as your GM truck. Congratulations.

Frank was a good friend and will be missed by many of us. He often brought multiple cars and trucks to Hershey. He was able to realize his dream of building the “World War II American Experience” museum in Gettysburg. The museum is 36,000 sq. Ft. and is filled with everything from Sherman tanks to Jeeps. if any of our members enjoy learning about WW II a visit to there will be a great experience. Rest in peace Frank

Wow.. I can’t imagine the talent, hours and $$$$$$$$$.

I have not seen these tools in the military, but have seen quite a few show up at auctions. I have been told that these started life in steel mills and other industries. I expect the thought of an oddball size would make them less likely to be liberated from the workplace.

Kudos to the Gettysburg region and all of the AACA members who made the show a great success. Although the Saturday weather was predicted to be iffy in the afternoon, the rain did hold off until most show cars had left after the show was over. Again thanks to all who helped with the show.

While stationed at an Air force bombing range in the mid 60s I worked part time at Harts auto parts in Avon Park Florida. I absolutely loved the experience. Gordon Hart also gave me a 54 Chevy and after myself and 2 other GIs built it into a stock car, Gordon provided some sponsorship. I think that working there lit the spark that provided many other experiences in my life.

Don’t forget the Autocars that were in the Edgecomb Steel fleet. These were likely stamped by Allegheny Ludlum Steel also.

Would this part be from the auto manufacturer or was it an aftermarket item?

Thank you. I guess that explains why I found a pair of them.

I found two of these tools in a junk box. I can’t quite figure out the purpose for these tools. There is a small negative battery terminal attached as well as a circular gripper device. it seems too cumbersome to be a battery carrier. Any ideas. thanks, Dave

Sold. Thank you

This is a great photo. Thanks for posting.

Thank you Dennis. I am guessing that the assembly is held together with some sort of spring loaded snap ring, so that they can work independently of each other. I would love so see the backside of the assembly.

Thanks Don, Do you know if the outer portion on the horn ring controls the lights or any other electrical items?

Does anyone have a clear photograph of both sides of a 1930 L29 horn button. What does the button control besides the horn. Thanks in advance for any help.
