[What are you working on right now?]

Spent all last Friday putting on the shiny bits on my 1959 Fiat 1200 Granluce to get ready for Saturday's downtown car show in Delaware, Ohio. First time out with the car! Who would have thought there would be a category for Best of Show called: "Best Cute Little Car?" Well, I won even without an interior!

 

[Show us the hack work you've found]

An example of how to gain power for a radio. This was under the dash on the 1959 Fiat Granluce I'm working on.

[Interesting Place Names that Really Exist to Tour to]

One of my favorites: Knockemstiff, Ohio.

[What is the weight of a 1931 LaFrance Fire Engine]

We have a couple of recycling centers (metals) that you drive across their scales before unloading. That might be a quick way to get it weighed if it is in drivable order.

😡😢

[Next year car show]

There wasn't a way to play audio books back then.

[when/what was the last car with a hand crank?]

My 1958 Citroen 2cv van has a crank hole and crank. I WOULD NOT want to try to start it that way. It would take stamina...

[1966 Oldsmobile F85 (new arrival)]

I had a 66 Cutlass Convertible. Close enough to bring back fond memories! Thanks for sharing!

[Any members near Hershey PA that can look at a car for me. It's in Halifax PA]

American Bantam with big wheels?

Who’s James Dean, and what the hell is a Chevy? 😉

I believe he had something to do with selling sausages.

[Your Worst Car?]

Plymouth Turismo. Forgot the year. Forgetting the car...

[Splitdorf item for identification]

Hello wheelwright,

 

I thought I'd post again here as maybe you are unfamiliar with what "PM sent" means. If you see this, respond on the forum if you are interested in the coil. I do still have it.

 

Thanks!

 

[Splitdorf item for identification]

PM sent.

[Been there done it all]

I do have a can of relative bearing grease for sale on eBay.

[Flashback - Instant classics?]

Please give me a small truck with a decent bed and just two doors. Please.

[Mercedes 190SL with Alfred Hitchcock and Leo the lion]

Realizing it is before photoshop days, something just doesn't look quite right. Does the lion look a bit tall to be sitting on a seat? Paws on dashboard? I definitely love the expression on Hitchcock's face!

Off topic:

 

Strange how the billboard is upside down. I've tried to come up with a reason why it is like that but can't think of anything...

 

That usually means that an older sign board is being used as a backer board for a new sign. Notice there are actually two segments of older signage there. Could also just be a placeholder in the frame from signs that haven't paid their rent and a new advertiser hadn't been found.

They made awesome steamers too. Very clever people.

Flowers, armband, well-dressed people on the sidewalk and behind - possibly a funeral? something political? Formal function despite the rain?

Nice job Keiser31. I knew you'd join in and get this answered! 😁

Wait for Keiser31 to chime in.😜

Is your mother in the picture? Why is her grandfather elusive?😊

Maybe a 20th anniversary.

 

Wow. Even with Jack Nicholson?😉

I dreamt last night I was a muffler. Woke up exhausted.

Very special model "BIUCK."
