I need to move my 29 Hupp less than a mile from its present location so I made a tow bar to fit it. With the front off the ground I can not force the tires to turn by pushing and pulling on the tires which would be trying to force a worm gear in the stering box backwards. I might be overthinking things but do I need to disconnect the steering linkace to alow the car to follow the tow car around curves?
You made a tow bar. picture? How attached ?
"Are you towing with front wheels off the ground? are you able to tow it with wheels off the ground ??
Some one steering is best.
If engine is installed in vehicle the car should trac. wide turns are best.
////////////////////////
I use a straight tow bar which bolts to axle ( with a piviot) Tow bar extends to tie rod and clamps to it.
This forces wheels to turn, even with out engine weight. Wide turns are best.

Compare the stylized shape to two mascots.
1939 Cadillac
1947-48 Nash
While not the same, very similar in concept/form.

Face and protuding chin, looks male, overall strong chest and solid heavy wings? Nothing female/delicate at all.

I should start the "Hershey pile" this weekend. I do miss the old days pre computer when people saved the Good Stuff for Hershey. Lots of too heavy to ship stuff and a dollar pile tarp. I've been lucky over the years and some good stuff pops up a week or so before we leave. 52 years in a row!
We should chat some time, this will be 60 Hersheys in a row for me. A Friend I met there 50 years ago will be camping with me, he will be 101 and 8 months old at Hershey time.

I like the body character lines ar rear body corners. Very nice preserved interior.

I enjoyed all the car's pictures. So nice to see things we built, not just in memories-mind.
Quality Final Line Buy Off at Cadillac's Fleetwood plant and Final Line Buy Off at Clark Street.
The comments are interesting, they are all in retrospect. There were a very limited number of greenies 47 years ago. The strong opinions also reflect on every age of our clubs cars.

Probably still the original code. Weren't they all the same and the owner was to change it?
I know two friends who had their Ford stolen that way, and they just left the key inside. Once in the thieves had a key to drive it.
all codes were unique, driver could add new code of choice

How much longer is Ford going to hold out with the 5-button exterior keyless entry? Its now more or less obsolete with handheld fobs.

I hope they keep the exterior buttons, you can lock the vehicle with keynfob inside and not worry while at the beach or other activity. Very valuable item.

Thank you, Wayne Sheldon, I have have enjoyed your many responses for some time.
The kindness in your often detailed missives have enlightened myself and I am sure many others.
One further thought, the note from Liisa seems to show two seperate motormeters, to me.
Looking at the first meter the lower base flange and the brass screw threads seem to display a marked difference in wear, corrosion when compared to the owl head side shown.
In addition the owls head view shows the tall black protrusion not shown in the other view. This version may show the bulb base, where others of this type have shown a much thicker owl body with bulb enclosed.
It just might mean she used singular terms when she may have shown two different meters.
Thank you again for your often shared knowledge.

The Owles Head appears to be installed correctly.
Another note: All of my Motometers have two "face plates" a front and a rear, and in between them covering the circular hole is "ising glass".
The translucent quality allows on comming headlights to illuminate the circle and see the red liquid in dark light conditions.
Very very very seldom see automobiles with Ising glass in place. Should be a demaret.

McCellan Blair of Indiana Penn. passed away Wednesday 3-22.
Mac was a family man, humbly proud of them all. .
He was a very accomplished person, seldom speaking of his personal accomplishmenrs. A true friend always willing to help and befriend others with his insights and skills..
His alter image as 32 Buick Registery was legendary, as was his service to AACA.
Camping with him at Hershey for over four decades was his gift to our group.
