Compact Discs are NOT magnetic. They use laser beams reflected off the shiny surfaces which are two different elevations, using the '0,1' binary number system to read the data. DVD's have a second set of elevated surfaces at an angle which allow the storage of even more data than a CD. Craig

I have a Nikon Coolscan 5000ED. I would look for a good used one on Ebay. I used them for 35mm negatives, and a few slides. It makes excellent images. Craig

Harrah's collection, 1985 panoramic picture for sale
8E45E replied to trimacar's topic in General Discussion
What set William Harrah apart in his restorations was authenticity. He would never OVER-restore a car. For example, if a component such as a bumper bracket was dipped in a vat of black paint and hung to dry, he would restore it the exact same way; runs in the paint and all. Craig -

Bob has been VERY helpful for finding parts. If anyone into Studebakers, in the Chicago area, his place in Joliet is the place to visit: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?103337-Happy-60th-Anniversary-Bob-Kapteyn&highlight=kapteyn Craig -
I suspect #4 and #8 were arranged to be done by a local importer. Often, a certain country will have a local content law, which reduces the import duties on the vehicle. The car's Production Order (if available) will be able to provide most of the answers.

Stude cover shot and contents0001.pdf Richard Quinn on the Studebaker Drivers Club forum would be most qualified to provide the answer. Craig

Why do some online photos fuzz out plate number?
8E45E replied to GS1455's topic in General Discussion
I wonder how many times a vehicle gets photographed enroute to and from a car show these days, with all the cameras one sees at intersections, toll bridges, etc. (If you want to get your licence plate photo taken FOR SURE, either park in a 'Park Plus' zone that photographs cars like they do here, or run a red light where there's a camera.) I've noticed that a LOT lately, in calendars, where a beautiful photo of a vintage car or truck with an appropriate Y.O.M. plate is needlessly blanked out. I state 'needlessly' as the Y.O.M. plate is not usually the valid one. It really takes away from the photo where the that year-of-manufacture plate is the ultimate finishing touch to an old car or truck. Craig -

I remember that happening in those farmers' foreclosure auctions back in the '80's when all a particular farmer's friends from nearby would purposely cap their bids at a lowball amount so the banks would receive next to nothing. Sometimes when that happened, the bank walked away, leaving the destitute farmer remaining with his goods. Craig

It wasn't so confusing when Ford and Mercury each used different body shells from 1949 to 1960. Meteor was based on Ford bodies and sold at Mercury-Lincoln dealers, and Monarchs were based on Mercury bodies, and sold at Ford dealers. It all changed for 1962 when the Meteor name was applied on Mercury's version of the intermediate size Fairlane sold on both sides of the border for 1962 & 3. The Monarch was dropped after 1961, though the name was revived in 1975. What does confuse many was in 1964, the Monterey name was dropped in Canada and replaced with the Meteor brand in different trim levels which lasted right up until 1981. (The Meteor name had a good reputation in Canada.) In 1963, a very basic Mercury was introduced in Canada, called the '400', with 223 six as standard, no trim around the side windows, pope Paul hubcaps, and one-piece rear window available in two and four door sedans. It was replaced in 1964 by the Meteor Rideau when the Comet became an intermediate and the Meteor name was dropped in the U.S. From 1964 on, the Meteor trim levels basically corresponded with the full-size Ford's trim levels, including sharing the dashboards. The Rideau matched the Ford Custom for trim, the Rideau 500 = Custom 500, Montcalm = Galaxie, etc. A couple of rare and interesting models were the 1967 Meteor Montego (the name only used for one year when it got applied to the intermediate line starting in 1968) which matched the Ford XL500 for trim level, and the 1970 LeMoyne which matched the LTD.
