Very Nice

[antique car exhibition]

The 1961 Renault sold in USA had US sealed beam lights. It had an electro-magnetic clutch. A very interesting device. 

Peugeot and Renault were popular cars here in 1960's - 1980's, not quite so popular as Volkswagen, although the Renault was less expensive

American Motors dealers sold Renault

Great photos 

Thanks for those Sebastien !

I see some of the cars my Dad had;

Renault Dauphin

Dodge WC 

Triumph TR4

 

My neighbors had a Peugeot 

My best friend's Dad had a Maserati

 

I like all those Citroens!

 

How is your Buick coming along ?

[1961 Dodge Styling]

I'm 55 years old, 

I ;love the '61 Dodge Chrysler, Plymouth line-up

I agree, the higher end Dodges look better than their lower end brothers. That is as it should be.

I kept looking at that engine, I looked at the valve covers, counted the bolts, looked at the shape, but didn't recognize it.

 

Chrysler, well, I feel quite blessed that I didn't know what it was. Not recognizing a Chrysler part gives pause to appreciate the little things in life that go unnoticed.

 

I bet that Caddy steering column is attached to a Volare steering box.

The valve cover breather, color and alternator told me Chrysler , right away. 

I spent all day trying to find a 16" rim 6 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern for my Durango.

Continue to count your blessings,

That's not really the traditional Carson top. I think it is more the Conestoga style. I wonder if he parked the car when he started construction on that building in the background

 

Why do these Craigslist sellers post so many pictures of cars sunk into the ground. The foot paths (not mower paths) show someone walked around it. How hard would it be to hook a chain on it and drag it 3 feet before they took the picture?

 

I did add the picture to my "Sunk In" folder. Texas, huh. A few more of those and we might have to call it The Lone Car State.

It might not be in one piece after being drug across the yard. Especially years after someone hacked off the roof

Someone please confirm or correct

I believe that Dynaflow jobs of 1954 1955 1956 share the same shift indicator

They come inside looking for somewhere warm at this time of year. So set your traps and bait stations. Check the traps every couple of days and the bait stations weekly. Food is harder to find now so they will like your bait.

 

They like Crunchy peanut butter, not smooth. The bait must be fairly fresh. If slugs find it and slime over it, throw in out and put out fresh bait.

 

I go through this every year else they find a way to get into the ceiling. I have no idea where but they do get in. So I have bait stations at each end of the house and beside the shed. When I was less conscientious I also had to put bait inside the shed and in the ceiling because they had already got in. I check my stations every 10 days (I have a reminder on my email calendar).

 

This also is aimed at rats and mustelids. That way, we get some of our native birds fledging. We have no native rodents or other mammals (only one bat) so the birds have no defense mechanisms and the eggs and chicks get eaten.

very interesting. 

Alabama has only one marsupial, the Opossum. 

[looking for info on signal flasher switch]

Maybe the lever is for the direction. And the button is  a momentary on switch to activate the signal light (as a motorcycle's signals)

In New York state the YOM plate number is registered to your car. You find or buy yourself an old YOM plate or pair depending on year and if is in legible condition and that number is not already in use then you can register it to your car. No replicas allowed. There is an annual fee, $28  any car I think. You still have to get an annual NY inspection. I've never had a Police problem in over twenty years and lots of driving.

Alabama is the same.

Except, no inspection

And, the fee is one time charge of $25 

you can see in my signature photo my YOM plate
