Congratulations on your 50th, young man.... I started in 1972, so I am now in my 52nd year !!! No plans (especially now... ) to quit until I have put in 100 years.... ( Of Course, what will my fellow vendors in this hobby look like 48 years from now ?!?! ) Craig.....

O P has disappeared….

He should have purchased Quality U.S.A. Brake Parts from me —- and that NEVER would have happened…. What did happen is a crying shame…. Seeing a beautiful cruiser like that, in that condition, elicits tears from me…. And all the NEW brake parts are a looooooootttt less expensive than the now ruined Used body parts…… Craig…..

You accidentally put this in the Chrysler section....

Ernest, a 1 - hit wonder, who dug up a 20 year old thread, is out sourcing other cemeteries….

Especially when ordered a a Chineseum replacement Voltage Regulator —- begging for issues / a fire potential with those old wires….. Too bad the O P didn’t call me and get a U.S.A. Made Voltage Regulator or even a *** D E L C O *** Voltage Regulator, both of which I have available!!!!

George, Sounds like it has a good possibility for positive results…. 99 % of us in this hobby are ” family “ and only want the best for all of us…. Keep us informed on how your trip to Rockford, Illinois goes… I would go, and schmooze, and shake hands even, so they know you think nothing about ” stopping in “ …. Best to you…. Craig ….

George, 100 miles extra ONLY —- I would make the trip…. Nothing like showing up in person…. Don’t use A N Y threatening language… then you are at fault…. Try and deal in a manly fashion and hopefully that will work…. Craig…..

If you google his name, this phone number comes up —- 815 - 399 - 5311

Bills Auto Works, There are a bunch of wheel studs that I can use, and I will pay you for them ..... I have all the numbers, of course.... Please call me ---- 516 - 485 - 193five ---- Craig.......

Actually, Napa which stands for “ Never American Parts Available “ will NOT have Right Handed Studs —- and CAN NOT POSSIBLY have LEFT HANDED Studs…. You will need to call Craig @ 516 - 485 - 193five…..

Try www.forabodiesonly.com Thousands there, a dozen here….

Haven't heard from him either --- maybe the car is now a flower pot.....

See you were on the site --- any response ??? Or have you thrown the car away ???

^^^^ “ chump “ or “ chimp “ (auto spell ?? ) ^^^ LOL !!!

You collect and collect and collect —- and then you die….AMAZING…. A lot of that stash will appear at HERSHEY in 2023 and 2024 !!!

Hey guys, Glad to see those of you who made it had a good time… I am just sitting down outside to eat lunch —- and it is starting to get a little chilly now… Today’s weather couldn’t have been any better, if you ordered perfection !!! I saw a lot of cars rolling in all morning to get onto the car show field —- and tomorrow is the bigger day of the car show —- jeez, they may run out of room up there… From my spot, I have a bird’s eye view of the entrance, such that I keep my eyes focused that way , especially if I am not serving anyone that moment with parts…. The buying was not strong today —- most vendors are calling it “ fair “ or “ mediocre , especially considering the perfect weather… I would actually rate it “ sub par “ , particularly given the fantastic circumstances… I did have two vendor friends I just spoke to who labeled it “ Good “ … I had one guy grab 2 Ball Joint Boots @ $ 5.00 each, 2 Tie Rod Boots @ & 4.00 each , for a total of $ 18.00 —- and he put them back ( in the wrong spot ) because he said, ” That’s too rich for my blood. “ ( Oh well … ) I guess he isn’t a CEO of a big Manhattan Corporation !!! Tomorrow is supposed to be drop dead gorgeous again —- come on up, come on down, but come —- the vendor spots are full —- I did see one pull out tonight, but only one…. The “ r word “ is not supposed to happen until 8 : 00 P.M. tomorrow, and by then, we will all be long out of here… Most will be home, already ( Not me, I will wait out traffic back to Long Island on a Sunday night at the Sloatsburg Rest Area…. And get back at 11 : 00 / 11 : 30 tomorrow night…. yours, Craig….

Tire Found On Road Dead……

Just passed 7:00 P.M. — sitting in the van to have lunch —- it is actually a bit chilly outside ( tablet says 59 — challenge… ) very comfortable all day — 69 degrees ish —- 3 to 5 mph breeze , more of the same all weekend expected… The E bay boys were all over this place today, and the junk hunters…. My next door neighbor sells junk —- and he took in over $ 1000 today —- he is already happy…. ( I have GOLD and Important Merchandise —- and took in $ 400 !!! ( some things just make no sense in life !!! ) ) My neighbor asked one E Bay boy ( he doesn’t know who they are ) “ what are you looking for ? “ He answered Carburetors and Intake Manifolds “ as if to say, ” I buy things for $ 20 that I can put on E Bay tonight for $ 250 “ ( Needless to say, he bought —— NOTHING …. ) Come on up , come on down, this place is full of vendors…. And tomorrow, the cars will be driving in….. yours, Craig…..

Steve Braverman (and others ) , I took Cross Island to the Throgs Neck, up 95 to Exit 21 (just past Rye) to pick up the 12 mile road to bring you to the Tappan Zee Bridge…. Straight up 87 / New York Thruway to Exit 19 Kingston to the Rhinecliff Bridge…. two rights and you’re here…. Probably the most direct route to get here…. All the paving was on different spots on the 87 / New York Thruway…. yours, Craig……

Hey all, I just arrived here in Rhinebeck… took me 2 : 54 from the beginning of Long Island… A lot of road paving —- North and South —- a lot of 2 lanes down to 1 —- wasn’t really an issue leaving just shy of 9:00 P.M. and getting here by midnight…. I can see that being more of an issue during the day —- give yourself some extra time… (And top off your Antifreeze / Coolant…) Craig…. ( Except you, Mr. Corvair !!! —- No coolant for you… )

Emtee, A Gold 1967 Buick Riviera ...... You undoubtedly know my friend Mark , who also has a Gold 1967 RIV --- and another 5 RIVS and a few more toys... He is always at Rhinebeck, but I don't know yet which car he is bringing this year.... Craig.....

I might be able to provide you a set of *** N.O.S. *** U.S.A. made *** set of Main Bearings, Connecting Rod Bearings, if you need or want…and much more…. Always best to simply call me —- 516 - 485 - 193five…..Craig…… New York …..

I am leaving for Rhinebeck tomorrow…. I am on the side of the horticulture building —- on the “ spoke of the wheel “ road where the cars enter to go onto the show field… A lot of people sit on the benches in my row on Saturday and Sunday mornings to watch the cars entrance on to the field… it has been a good show for a lot of years —- and the only real car show and swap meet, up in that neck of the world… Only once a year, first full weekend in May, this year is Friday, May 5th ( Cinquo de Mayo ) through Sunday, May 7th…. Dutchess County Fairgrounds, Rhinebeck, New York…. come on down, come on up —- It is the Carlisle of that area…. yours, Craig ….

1955 Caddy —- greatest Dagmar s on the planet…..
