Lots of local car shows take place around that area over the summer weekends. Best to find a Cruise Calendar for the area, and study it in advance to see where you can chance upon these local car shows. Craig

Period images to relieve some of the stress
8E45E replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
Unlike cars and homes of today, both required major amounts of upkeep including regular sanding & painting of the wooden clapboard, plus the semi-annual tasks of installing the storm windows in the fall, and either winterizing or putting up the car on blocks until Spring. Craig -
Maybe it's still parked in 20th Century Fox's backlot!! Craig

Not Studebaker. They do not have exposed screws from the front; therefore no visible mounting holes. And that one appears to be stamped, not cast, like the '64 & '65 Studebaker ones. Craig

American car exhibition at Tommy's diner (France)

Now THAT is how a mid-seventies Corolla SR is supposed to look; without the ugly 5-mph bumpers that destroyed the looks of most cars sold in North America from that era. Craig -
If you really want a Studebaker and a convertible at the same time, either look at a '47 - '52, or a 1960-'64 Lark/ Daytona convertible which were designed and engineered to be true convertibles. A V8 would be the-engine-of-choice, given the extra weight of a convertible. Craig

Was this Skylark also sold new in France like your Buick and that '69 Camaro was? Hard to see, but it does appear to have a km/h speedometer. Craig -

8E45E replied to sebastienbuick's topic in General Discussion
There appears to be a far larger following of American cars in France than there are those who collect French cars here in North America!! One sure doesn't see a huge amount of vintage Renaults, Peugeots, Citroens, or Panhards at a show here! Craig -
1955 Imperial Derham sedan? Anyone know this car?

Someone here might be aware of it: Imperial - Antique Automobile Club of America - Discussion Forums (aaca.org) Craig -

More made 'on the cheap' rather than innovative. Only the rear fenders have compound curves. Craig -
Thanks, Gary, Yes, we are saddened by the loss of Jerry. I express my condolences to his wife and family as well. Another one of his well-known restorations:

Vandalism at AACA headquarters? What’s the story?
8E45E replied to trimacar's topic in General Discussion
After seeing the AACA's fine facilities in person, including admiring all the excellent work done there, and then reading the title of this thread, I feel as if it my own garage that was violated. Craig -

And what exactly was her motive?? Craig -
In Alberta, we had Pedal Pushers for bicycle safety courses back in the 1960's. Appears its still around: Pedal Pushers Bike Safety Program - ReachFM: Peace Country's hub for local and Christian news, and adult contemporary Christian programming. Craig

Bicycle riders are also expected to use hand signals, at least they are here; be it on a public road, or a dedicated bike path. I know in my case, because of that, I knew what hand signals meant, years before I was car driving age. With more bikes on the road, and people of car driving age being encouraged to use them, I don't expect hand signals to ever go away. Craig
