  1. One mans junk is another mans treasure, there are four Pierce's, one looks pretty nice, he liked to collect old cars and motorcycles.
  2. I imagine Barfman & Shitz coach work is very desirable. It looked strange to me, I wanted the experts to weigh in, thank you. If I wanted to convert a 31 Caddy sedan to a roadster who do I call ? Who can make an exact 31 Caddy roadster body today ?
  3. Bohman and Schwartz had a shop in Passadena California and purchased some of Murphey's equipment and hired some Murphey's employees when Murphey closed in 1932. There is a 31 Caddy roadster on ebay that Bohman and Schwartz modified. Anyone smart enough to determine what work Bohman and Schwartz did ? http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/b/bohman_schwartz/bohman_schwartz.htm
  4. Ray Dietrich's drafting table and drafting tools are on display at the Gilmore car museum in the ccca building. I think, from memory, there are some prints on the table, do not recall what they are.

  6. Old cars says a 31 Chrysler four door phaeton is worth $61,500 in #1 condition, $85k was a great offer !
  7. It is worth whatever someone will pay for it, list on ebay, high bid is the correct value.
  8. Ok, this is ridiculous, I worked with a Vietnamese guy for ten years (a legal immigrant), we were going to lunch one day when another employee asked my coworker to provide the winning numbers for Fridays lottery (the requestor was serious, he thought we had the skills to do this ), my coworker patiently explained why he was not able, I kept my composure during the whole incident.
  9. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25593/lot/433/ The car sat for 28 years. If they removed all the gas from the tank, lines, carb it may be easy to get running again, if not you have to get all the old gas out and any mess it left. It is worth what you or anyone is willing to pay. Hire someone to advise you or fly there and look for yourself.

  11. Kevin, I received a letter from Gilmore museum today saying please return to the pre war car show. So they have sent letters to previous attendees. See you in May.
  12. Kevin, Are you bringing your Cole to the show on Saturday ? I'm in Kalamazoo and usually the only motorcycle at the pre war car show, I want to see your Cole. Name withheld to protect the innocent.

  14. Well, I had some trouble finding words I wanted to use ... Yes, I know, this is the aaca board, not https://www.jalopyjournal.com/ https://www.ebay.com/itm/1939-Zephyr-Custom/143151617892?hash=item2154805764:g:-fIAAOSwxetcd2CN:rk:3:pf:0

  17. They came in three sizes, there is one at the Gilmore museum, never seen one for sale, prices likely have a wide range.
  18. A friend wanted to enter his 29 model A in the Ford Dearborn 100 year anniversary in 2003. The entry form said room is limited please don't be disappointed. I will enter, give me the form, I wrote original, unrestored, shows wear (and lots of it). I received a letter, accepted, There were fifty model A's, two rows back to back, three original cars, 47 cars in showroom condition. Everyone walked past the showroom cars and stopped, look at this, the beverly hills fan club, lots of fun.
  19. Previous owners sold cars or previous owners are missing or dead. 410 is 1%, 77 is .187%, wow
