    That is an impressive engine!
  2. Brass is Best
    I think it is an accessory aftermarket part.

    Walt, Looks like some great stuff! I see the 1931 Packard Prestige Brochure, Wow! May I ask how much for the Alpha racer? Thanks, Andy

    You bring up an excellent point. This is why a title is so important in the first place.
  5. Brass is Best
    Yes sir you are correct. The issue is they are worried about giving the car to the daughter. When the issue is really proving it was legally the brothers car. If this car is in the estate and is not properly titled then the estate cannot be settled.

    Perhaps one of the gentlemen who know how to "fix" this problem would be kind enough to explain all the steps to us.

    I see that as well. Do you think we are looking at a car with some sort of aftermarket wheels?

    In the eyes of the law the car dose cease to exist until it has a proper title. that is why a title is so important. But you are correct there will be a lot of leg work, waiting, pain and suffering to resolve this. Which there should be because somebody did not do what they were supposed to. But a title of a Cracker Jack box and a vin plate from the local trophy shop is never the right answer.

    I think aftermarket. Or a marriage of the wings and the lady.

    Here is an 11 Cadillac.
  11. Brass is Best
    I do not think this is a Cadillac. It is circa 1912 or 1913. Pesto-Lite tank, demountable rims, two tone headlamps and general look of the car. This is an expensive car by look of the hood and the rear step by rear door. Leather strap on the hood. Could this be a Mclaughlin Buick?

    But this car already has a title someplace. How can NY or NJ just give it a title? How can this guy prove it was his brothers car? This must be why many states do not like to accept title from NY or NJ? Still sounds like a bad idea. If you give the car a new title and the old title shows up guess who owns the car... This is a recipe for a bad situation. The proper course of action is to back track to where the problem occurred. I know about titles as well.

    Mid 1930s ??

    Brass is Best replied to a topic in What is it?

    That 1936 Ford has pines trim, 40 ford bumper guards, Cadillac hubcaps and a Radio! Not to mention the Emerald Green Metallic Paint which was popular about 1953. The car appears to have a 1951 plate on it.

    Rick, Are you going to restore something other than a Cadillac? I can't wait to see the results. Happy Hunting! Andy

    Didn't the estate have to be settled by an attorney? This should be part of the attorneys job. She is stuck because until the estate provides her with a title she is not the owner of the car. Be very careful what you do next as any title fabrication or VIN manipulation would most likely be a felony. There are proper legal channels in all states for a car with a lost title. That is what you need to pursue. Also keep in mind if you botch the vin on a Shelby you may greatly devalue it. People need to realize that the title is MORE important than the car itself. Always inspect the title and vin before buying a car. Here is a place to start in VA: http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/citizen/vehicles/abandoned.asp

    Old Car Fest has the most beautiful traffic jamb in the world!

    The Yellow Roadster is a 1912 De Tamble Torpedo built in Anderson Indiana.

    Carl, Greenfield Village has a few hay burners present to give full effect. They even left some "exhaust" around.

    It was a great show and great turn out. Those High Wheel Bikes sure make for one menacing biker gang!
  20. Brass is Best
    If the background of all the parts is different be very careful.
  21. Brass is Best
    What a wonderful group of machines! Second from left may be a Stoddard-Dayton Double Roadster. Third from the left is a Cadillac 09 or 10.
  22. Brass is Best
    Looks like a 1955 or 1956 Ford across the street. What a well trained Collie!

    Went to the Old Car Festival on Saturday. A great time was had by all. Here are a few photos.

    Once again Hershey is running us down with the speed of a well sorted Cadillac Model 30. So I ask what is on your Hershey wish list? What rare and obscure treasure will you seek this year? Or will you take the "I will know it when I see it approach"? Happy hunting and Good Luck!

    Hood down. Cars always look best as the designers intended.
