  1. I think it'd be nice to see your own car in a movie or TV show. If it would not be abused would be the main thing.
  2. https://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_swatch_buick_1969 Yes color code 65 is the one, Trumpet Gold. 1969 Buick ( Buick's code? 65) Trumpet Gold Paint Manufacturer Codes PPG/Ditzler : 2082 Dupont : 927-99333, 5010A, 5010D, 99333, 5010L, 5010 Acme/Rogers : 5562 Martin Senour : 4418 Sherwin Williams : L11-N2882 Arco : S-9561, AE-3495, 6305, L-5384 RM/BASF : A2106D Just so you understand, all these codes are for the SAME COLOR. The Buick color 65 "translates" to these other codes for the various manufacturers. For example, if you want to make Buick color 65 using PPG paint you use the PPG formula "2082" Does that make sense?
  3. I'll have to try one. My local "Liquor Barn" tries to stock just about everything, so they should have it.
  4. My mom had a '69 Electra 4 door, it was a very dark color, no vinyl top. Prior to that she had a 50's-something Buick green/white 4 door special. After the '69 it was a '76 Buick Electra 2 door brownish with a vinyl top. My folks used to trade in the old car on a newer used car, a used one only about 2 or 3 years old.
  5. They sold Lager and Porter. Do you sell a good Porter at your place Greg? I do like Porter
  6. http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/paintdetail.cgi?ppg=2082 1969 Buick ( Buick's code? 65) Trumpet Gold Paint Manufacturer Codes PPG/Ditzler : 2082 Dupont : 927-99333, 5010A, 5010D, 99333, 5010L, 5010 Acme/Rogers : 5562 Martin Senour : 4418 Sherwin Williams : L11-N2882 Arco : S-9561, AE-3495, 6305, L-5384 RM/BASF : A2106D Is it metallic?
  7. Luke Binder came to America from Inman, Germany, with his parents at the age of seven. He went to work in the rolling mills at Johnstown, and later learned the business of brewing lager beer in Altoona. When he had enough money, he moved to Renovo and purchased George Burger’s brewery, which he greatly enlarged and modernized and built into a thriving business. After his death, his son Edward L. Binder continued running the brewery until 1910 when he moved to Madera in Centre County and purchased a brewery there which he ran until 1916. Today there is a spring on Route 120 at Brewery Run Rd. where people can fill containers with the spring water once used to brew Binder’s Beer.
  8. There is all kinds of info online courtesy of John Daly, keeper of the HCCA Sears Registry. Click all these various links, many pictures to be found. it seems 1908 only had a 2 seater, so a four seater may have been a later year. https://searsmotorbuggy.com/Sears_history.php https://searsmotorbuggy.com/ https://searsmotorbuggy.com/Sears_photos.php 1911 4 seater ?
  9. I stayed in MidTown in 1984, at the PickWick Arms, and got a GREAT sandwich at the deli right next to the hotel, but can't remember if it was corned beef or pastrami. I'm thinking pastrami. very high pile of thin sliced meat, fresh big roll. When I stayed there another guest of the Pick-Wick Arms said the main reason he stayed there was the deli next door. Times Square was different then, you would gets lots of offers of dates.
  10. Using those numbers: 3.1415 x 4.235 x 4.235 x 0.373 = 21 cc which agrees with my result. So your calculation agrees with mine, you just punched the numbers into your calculator wrong. Bring this up because I am concerned it may be too much of a difference.
  11. Those aluminum Grumman step vans are valuable for Yogurt and ice cream and coffee trucks. The newer ones were very ugly, boxy, but the earlier were like small buses. The Post Office delivery truck is a Grumman LLV by the way
  12. Check what this convertible sold for! http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-citroen-ds-6/
  13. Asking $11,000. This is not mine, I just saw it on facebook. Seller's Description Just in time for summer, I give you a 1964 Dodge Dart Convertible.

I have tons of spare parts including another instrument panel. 11,000 or best offer Less
  14. can you show me how you got this? I came up with something very different.
  15. How is the pin, the OEM pin, held in position in the Ford piston? There is no provision for a circlip. Forgive my ignorance. I don't get it.
  16. I think my father was drafted very late in the war in anticipation of a ground invasion of Japan. Truman dropped the nuclear bombs instead. So maybe I owe the fact that I was even born to that decision.. I was born 1960 when my father was 42, but if he had been killed invading Japan that would not have happened. My fathers close friend, on the other hand was drafted much earlier, and was in some hellish battles in the Pacific and luckily survived, while he saw many killed around him.
  17. So it looks like 1.306 - 1.158 = 0.148, or about 0.15 inches so the top of the Ford piston would be too high relative to the wrist pin. 3.76 mm. So the TDC volume would be smaller by (pi/4) (84.7)(84.7) (3.76) in cubic millimeters = 21,181 mm cubed = 21 cc Has it been decided this is close enough? Will the increase in compression ratio be modest?
  18. I had a subscription to Car Craft when I was a teenager; a gift from my mom. She'd buy me an issue at the store, and if I liked it get a subscription. Also got Cycle. I kept my favorite Car craft issue and still have it here somewhere.
