oily rag

I was just a little snot nosed kid then living in a small town of almost 600, with no car lots or stop lights . The Edsel was a funny looking car to me, every other car in town was most likely at least five years old and looked normal. The interior was what impressed me. The Edsel was gone from town by 1961.

I had a Dodge that came with a jack with a longer hook than the above photo and had a 4 sided. upright shaft/post.

It may be wise to drop the oil pan, check the bottom end and clean any gunk out. The rear seal may be a source of the oil leak(s) .

The Coast Guard would site this water craft with many lighting violations. If the sliding door works you sill could not cast out the starboard side, A deck on top could be added, also a flying bridge for nice days.

Maxwell may have used Champion plugs. The last one I worked on had (Montgomery) Wards #18 plugs in it.

The passenger side is the starboard side in the USA and is on the port side down under.

A convert is worth a bit more than a 2 door and a 2 door is worth more than a 4 door. Look at auction results for a ball park number, little bit better than a WAG.

Studebaker if I remember right, or just another unknown to complicate things.

I ran into a problem with a late 40s no oil filter Chevy 6 cylinder were dipstick tube was to short. The proper amount of oil would read as an over fill.

When the 32 Ford was 32 years old I was putting together Model cars, the metal die-cast were the best. My fate was sealed when my father and I put together a go cart made from old bed rails and a 5hp B.S. engine.

With the height above the hook I don't think they are for a top latch. Rear trunk clamps is more likely. In the locked position with the handles down the handles would even with the bottom of the luggage rack.

Left on the left like the old Jeeps, Mopars and Binders

Ford radio chassis missing the control head as stated above, newer than 1933, The 1932-33s were different.

What is about 100 miles from you ? Yorktown. Omaha, Spokane ?

In the boonies, or out in the sticks small town , Sears, Wards and J C Penny's had little two room shops where you could order and pick up any thing from their catalog. It took a bit than less 2 weeks to get an order but it was better than driving in bad weather for an hour or more to the city. By the late 70s these little outlets slowly faded away.

The bulb type or mechanical are easier to install. They normally are installed by removing a pipe plug. The electrical units install the same way and require a power source controlled by the ignition switch.

The light with louvers behind the lens, your hand and feet also, is a driving light normally seen on larger trucks. Post #23. Less photos in a post or item numbers would help.

About 8 parts Molasses diluted with 2 parts water. After a week or two pull it out and pressure wash it. This will get in all the nooks and grannies.

That style started to be popular after they opened King Tut's tomb in late 1922 and found his golden mask in late 1923.

Could be the owners name put on by a re-building shop. I used paper tags with strings to put on names and dates to help keep track of things.

The nubs on the axle mounts indicate it was designed for a wooden frame not springs. It also looks to me as farming or industrial type engineering.

The webbing between the runners and vacuum ports look right on the '39 Packard.

Jackie, It should have a part number cast in somewhere that may help ID it.

Fire truck perhaps?

The fastest toboggans or sleds were old curved windshields. They were good for maybe 2 short runs (don't ask me how I know or survived)
