So, What did you find at Hershey this year???
car crazy replied to Terry Bond's topic in Hershey Meet
I found this Panhard & Levassor double-sided porcelain sign, roughly 42" in diameter. Panhard et Levassor was a well known early higher-end French automobile manufacturer. Pre-war production of the Panhard et Levassor ceased in 1940, and the name was shortened to Panhard when production resumed after the war. So the sign dates to at least 1940, and, more than likely, the mid-thirties. Amazing that it survived the hostilities of the war. Only at Hershey! -
The Studebaker Avanti is a stunning automobile, and looks attractive in that color. Ok, maybe I'm a bit biased..

It was a devastating hurricane. The pictures are absolutely heartbreaking. A reminder that life is so fragile. The Revs Institute in Naples has crossed my mind several times today. Have not heard how it fared.

Legislative vigilance is key. One should never assume that any proposed or pending legislation is completely innocuous, nor necessarily completely harmful to our hobby, despite what is claimed. But one thing to keep foremost in our collective minds as hobbyists is that there is now an entirely new social mindset to the environment vs. automobile equation, and that, coupled with a smaller number of younger automobile enthusiasts than in previous generations (potential voters that legislators might factor in as part of their decision making) could make legislation that could be detrimental to our hobby much easier to find its way into our lives. Nothing political, just facts. Again, legislative vigilance is key.

Looking for one (preferably) Denman 700 X 17 wide whitewall tire, but other brands okay with whitewall width pictured. Just using for driver's sidemount spare. Thank you.

Does anyone have any idea what this canister is that is next to the transmission in my 1941 Plymouth Special DeLuxe, 3 speed manual transmission? Just a little stumped!

Gooding auction is definitely not the same without Charlie Ross.

Lots of custom coachbuilders here in sunny S. Florida.

Thank you for sharing these pictures. It's always nice to enjoy a Summer car show, vicariously.

Walt, it's amazing what that elevated rail line you referenced in your last paragraph-The High Line-has become. A tourist mecca. But a great place for a walk.

A new life for the Studebaker guardhouse
car crazy replied to Twisted Shifter's topic in General Discussion
That guard house was witness to a lot of Studebaker history. The picture at the bottom of this post is that of Studebaker workers passing by the guard house and through the gates at the end of the work day on December 9th, 1963, immediately after the announcement of the closure of the South Bend plant was made. For those who may not be aware, Building 84, the 1,000,000 sf main assembly plant at the Studebaker factory in South Bend , abandoned for years and pictured below, is being repurposed into a mixed-use technology center. The guard house now sits at the entrance to building 84. -

Coincidentally, I have that very same part that I'm using as desk art in my office. -
Happy 4th of July - Vintage Parade Pictures
car crazy replied to TexRiv_63's topic in General Discussion
You Dad had the right idea.. -
Incredible. Would love to see it now. Hard to imagine it was only a 36 year old car at the time in the picture-like seeing a 1986 car at a show today,albeit a very unique one.
