Looks buried in the rain forest. I agree with Continental.

You guys are too much. Sounds simple now that I hear it,that term "dash" has sort of carried through the years for sure. Every vehicle has one. Thanks much.

These were on the front of many horsedrawn and horseless carriages from the early days. These frames would have been covered in canvas or leather type material. Anyone know exactly what they were called or just shields? I doubt if anyone would know what year and model these two came off of. Appreciate any info.

This can is 20w-20,when did the Stewart Warner Corp quit producing and selling these? Some cases of this came available when an old surplus store remodeled,I think they had them rat-holed in old semi trailers in the back since the 60's. They were roughly handled and most were dimpled in unopened cases. Appreciate any info.

I think that's the small Buick they called a Marquette,any Maxwell hubcaps I ever saw had the name spelled out. They made Marquettes in 1929 and 30 but they didn't survive.

It almost looks like a car that they cut the center section out of,moved the rear of the body up and attached it to the windshield A pillars. That suicide door would have been the back door in my opinion. Then made the back into a truck bed. Definitely a quality make,maybe Peerless.

Yeehaw!!!

Thanks Viv,Any idea is a good one on these. I had a pair of 7-lug wheels I was going to try on these but they were put in too good of a place I guess,definitely among the missing. Also a few things have walked away. Got that Nash airborn yet?

You need to put this over on the For Sale section,it's unlikely anyone looking for one would find your post here.

Are you talking about off a windshield post or post off the runningboard?

That Nina is truly amazing.

I have this stuff on ebay right now if anyone is interested. It bolts right onto the rear drums and the front wheels clamp into the springs so it will work on a two wheel drive. According to the previous owner the bolt pattern is for a Jeep. He said his grandfather built it,I presume from a kit. It will need new rubber belting,at least one chain and some crossbars. It has been outside for decades but in dry Northern Colorado.

There are a whole bunch of them and I have not inventoried them so I can't say. A few loose head gaskets.

Tom, Are you interested in gasket sets from the 50's and 60's and are you going to Chickasha? Steve G.

The first V-16's came out in 1930 with the same wheels the V-8's had but they didn't hold up so they went to this heavier wheel. Most were 19",these smaller 18" may have been available later on 16's or for the '31 V-12 or if someone just wanted heavier wheels. It's a good straight one,surface rust and maybe a bit of pitting. Good metal around the air hole,does have a few hammer tracks on the front. Lockring looks good. $245 shipping included. Please PM me if interested. Feel free to straighten me out if I'm incorrect on any of the above information.

I've been boxing,crating and shipping for about 50 years. I found that if UPS could break it they would. If it isn't a flatrate box size item,I ship everything FedEx now. I sent two truck wheels separately boxed to a fellow in New Mexico. One got there,the other there was no record of. FedEx paid right away for it. But I was disappointed one day when I was looking for a long,thin box to send some trim,found a round cardboard tube and used it. To my surprise there was a $14 surcharge because a round tube is harder to keep under control in the truck than a square box.

You guys are probably right. How about those disc wheels! That may be the latest Cadillac I ever saw that type on.

Looks like a 1930 Cadillac V-8,model 353.

Yes they look like drumtrap covers from old time bathtub drains.

I finally got a chance to look through my bin of hood latches and found this one. If the above recast ones aren't going to work for you maybe this one will. I can't say what shipping would be,if you want it PM me your contact info,I'll send it to you probably in one of those blister envelopes. Whatever postage is,add $5 and send me a check.

As many people know,driving with vacuum wipers is not so dependable. At idle and low speeds there is generally enough vacuum to run the wipers but as the accelerator pedal is pushed down and the throttle butterfly in the carb opens the vac diminishes. Going up a hill with the pedal to the metal you may lose them altogether. One of the fixes for that is installing one of these vacuum pumps. As long as the pump is working properly your wipers will work at any speeds. These may have been standard equipment on some of the higher end cars and were probably installed as accessories on many others. The pump on the left has a Trico mark,the other one is only slightly different with no mark that I could see.

One or both of the teens Chevrolet FA and FB models had slant doors like those.

Someone asked how things are on I-80 now,since it runs coast to coast it's a little hard to say other than this area. Here in the windblown SE corner of Wyoming,we are at 6062' above sea level. It can snow any month of the year here. The high point on I-80 East of the Miss is a little bump in the road in Pa at 2250' above. The high point West is 35 miles West of here at 8640'. It can be sort of balmy here and a raging blizzard up there. Very often closed in the winter months from bad storms and smasharoos from people that drive too fast for conditions or vehicles not suited for slick roads. If you get over the summit you drop about 1500 feet into Laramie at 7220'. From there to Rawlins is what is appropriately nicknamed the Snow Chi Min trail. Old highway 30 used to go North out of Laramie in an arc through little towns like Rock River and Medicine Bow back to where 80 is now. The highway dept decided they would go straight through. The ranchers told them it was a churning mess in the winter but it was 11 miles shorter and has saved billions of gallons of fuel. But in winter it is closed so much and actually interfering with the nation's commerce by stopping big trucks,that they are thinking of running a bypass around by the old highway 30 route. I would like to give this advice-if you are going to drive through here,be prepared in case you are caught up in a sudden storm,it can be a blizzard or just blowing snow from high wind in the form of a ground blizzard. Have blankets,coats,boots,non-perishable food,water,full gas tank,etc. You may get stuck out in the boondocks and have to wait hours for help. If all you can see is the taillights from the car ahead of you,then if he drives off the road,you will follow him and be stuck also.

I'm in Cheyenne Wyoming.
