    Are there any references to Fisher Body Corporation being owned by General Motors in that publication, being dated '1927'?  It appears to have been printed earlier before GM bought them out.  Unless Fisher Body still had some previous non-GM contracts they had to finish fulfilling.

    Hi Craig. I would normally answer that questions quickly but I'm in the process of moving and that little book is packed SOMEWHERE. When it turns up, I"ll let you know!

    Bernie, Bernie, Bernie,

    You know that the most obvious two word caption for the first picture will be removed by the censors immediately upon posting.

    Why would "Oh My!" be removed?

  3. I can hear it running already!

     

    I had my 2cv out the other day and had to be towed home. It started coughing, missing and backfiring before quitting altogether. I have not had time to work on it yet but a kind soul with a big pick-up truck was happy to pull me home. He thought it was great and took a bunch of pictures.

     

    Keep up that progress! It's looking great!

  4. I was so thrilled to be allowed to drive them, that I didn't get any interior pictures. That, however, could easily be remedied.

     

    I've always had some kind of old car and am currently restoring a '59 Fiat 1200 Granluce. Also present is a '67 Fiat 500 Giardiniera and a '57 Citroen 2CV van. Before the flavor of the week went small and foreign, I had a '35 Hupp, '60 LeSabre, '56 Olds, '51 DeSoto and on and on - never more than one at a time until now. This last month my wife and I married off BOTH our daughters, so once we recover from that I should get some garage time.

  5. Is it still considered getting the younger generation involved when that younger generation is 57? If so, then I was the kid today. New friend and longtime AACA member T. Jack Carpenter (92!) invited me over to see his cars today and not only did I see them, he allowed me to drive them. I've had a smile plastered on my face all day! I'm the guy standing outside the cars, Jack is pictured inside the car getting it ready for me. I've never driven anything as old as the '29 or as smooth and classy as the Lincoln. Great day!
