Where are the Crosley Nats going to held this year? Craig

Here is the 1967 AMX III station wagon version: https://en.wheelsage.org/amc/amx/61362/pictures/q8uvf4/ Craig

A Stutz, perhaps? Craig

Here's a Helm's Bakery bakery van: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/stove-huggers-the-non-studebaker-forum/48792-orphan-of-the-day-01-07-1931-twin-coach-delivery Craig

No doubt a US market car, as its only 90 miles away from Cuba!! Craig

I'm upset that Muscle Car Review is no longer going to be available in print form. Its the only one I buy every issue of. Craig

And the Pontiac Catalina. Craig

The way a Roadmaster SHOULD look, regardless of what year it is!!! Shiny stuff on the outside is their trademark. Craig

I'll bet she's wriggling around in her grave with her name spelled like that!! Craig

I believe only on the closed models. Cabriolets didn't have/need it. I recall seeing some photos of your '42 in the old Car Collector magazine, ca. 1985. Craig

A 1954 Motor Trend showed a photo of a Flying Feather, along with some other cars from Japan with the comment, "Detroit has Nothing to Fear." http://theoldmotor.com/?p=52782 Craig

And park it next to an Alvis Grey Lady in your garage, and see if you have Leyland Tiger Cub between them the next morning!! Craig

And the 1942 was the first with the 'auto down' or 'one-touch down' feature, except Lincoln referred to it as an "emergency window drop". Have fun with that at the drive-thru. Craig

Buy one now for your kids. Craig

In 1971, my mom's 1960 Pontiac got hit head on at rather slow speed by a Datsun 510 after skidding on a patch of ice. The 510 was barely drivable, and the only damage the Pontiac received was a broken headlight, and a bent up headlight door. My mom's local Texaco station did the repair; $13.20 for the headlight door, (which I really thought was overpriced for a stamped piece of thin aluminum back then, but it was a 'genuine GM' part), $3.00 for a new low-beam headlight, and $3.00 for labor and aiming the headlight.

Not sure about small-town GM dealers, but Ford did not want their dealers to order cars with expensive-to-repair options like this. The selling dealer would have had to invest in all the diagnostic and repair equipment for his shop where he would be lucky to sell only one or two cars a year with it. The old Cars & Parts magazine published a former small-town Texas Mercury dealer's autobiography, and he stated there were car options he was not allowed to order, and in turn, to strongly discourage a prospective customer from ordering it. One exception was a 1955 Mercury with the Autronic Eye a long-term customer of his insisted on ordering, even though he explained the closest dealer to service it was in Dallas, over 250 miles away.

It is the long-defunct Terraplane-Hudson-Essex Club. Years ago, John Conde, of AMC Public Relations had some old newsletters from the T.H.E. Club from 1968 or so for sale. No idea if they sold or not. Craig

I think most must remember when the three C.E.O.'s of GM, Ford, and Chrysler all knocked on the President's door, right after pulling up in their private jets back in 2009 asking for money!! Craig

Not sure how much help this will be, but here is one from 1916. Craig

Before Step 2, ensure more than ample lighting for our older eyes. My eyes strain just looking at that top photo! Craig

Here is the Aerobus version: https://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/forum/your-studebaker-forum/stove-huggers-the-non-studebaker-forum/65870-orphan-of-the-day-08-15-1969-checker-aerobus Craig

I believe expensive warranty claims on the fuel injection and the digital dash ate up a lot of that margin. Craig

Cadillac relinquished its "Standard of the World" crown years ago. The very topic of this thread is basically how the (once) Big Three luxury car offerings all lost their mojo in the world market. Cadillac doesn't even offer a V-12 like the German cars, and Toyota in its home market does. Here, I see more Mustangs, than I do Cadillac passenger cars, though their SUV and CUV lines are rather popular. Craig

Its still "cladding" as it's physically attached to the lower body panels, and thereby conceals a sizeable portion of it, regardless what material it's made of. Craig

1965 Pontiac Bonneville's had shiny aluminum body cladding below the lower swage line. Craig
