10mm and 3/8 inch are very close so if trying to identify the threads be very careful. For example, if you have a slave cylinder that takes a 10mm fine thread and go to put a 3/8 fine thread in it it may "seem" to fit. It may even seem to be correct. 8 mm and 5/16 in are similar I think. My car happens to require a bubble flare at the brake master cylinder, but then a regular flare at the downstream fitting. I think I made the mistake of using a 3/8 fitting in something that should have had 10 mm once.

The last WWII veteran I knew personally died back in 2004 at age 85. He didn't seem to want to talk much about his experience, but would a little when I asked him about it. He said about half his fellow soldiers lost in a battle in the Pacific, so he saw a lot of death right around him. He never mentioned he got a medal. I read it in his obituary. First action he saw was Aleutian Islands. I seem to remember reading somewhere there were several friendly fire casualties due to the weather and poor visibility. "He joined the Army, participating in the Pacific Theater during World War II. He was in the 7th Division, 48th Field Artillery. During the Battle of Attu he dove into frozen water to save a fellow soldier for which he was awarded the Bronze Star. "

This must be a Lyon too, even though someone selling it thinks it is a Peugeot.

I would have thought Peugeot

I did a search and this came up. I have no personal knowledge. But supposedly this is the part to replace the whole arm. Does it look reasonable?

The Buick looks like it's designed so the passenger in the rear can lift the lid and wave to the admirers lining the street along the way. Plenty of glass to see out.

Bandleader and musician Billy Eckstine, Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993)[1] was an American jazz and pop singer and a bandleader during the swing era. He was noted for his rich, almost operatic bass-baritone voice Billy Eckstine wearing cap and sunglasses, seated in light colored Cadillac convertible car, with building in background Charles “Teenie” Harris, June 1947

1938 Cadillac car belonging to Charles 'Teenie' Harris, in driveway of William 'Woogie' Harris' house, Frankstown Road, Penn Hills, Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, 1940. 208 page book of his work is available https://www.amazon.com/Teenie-Harris-Photographer-Memory-History/dp/0822961741/ref=asc_df_0822961741 The famous faces of Lena Horne, Louis Armstrong, Josephine Baker, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson, and John F. Kennedy appear among the nearly eighty thousand photographs of Charles “Teenie” Harris (1908–1998). But it’s in the images of other, ordinary people and neighborhoods that Harris shows us a city and an era teeming with energy, culture, friendship, and family. In jazz clubs, Little League games, beauty contests, church functions, boxing matches, political events, protest marches, and everyday scenes, Teenie Harris captured the essence of African American life in Pittsburgh. Harris’s career began as America emerged from the Great Depression and ended after the civil rights movement. As a photographer for the Pittsburgh Courier, one of the nation’s most influential black newspapers, Teenie hit the streets to record historic events and the people who lived them. The archive of Harris’s photography, part of the permanent collection of Carnegie Museum of Art, represents one of the most important documentations of twentieth-century African Americans and their communities. Today, even as Teenie Harris’s photography stands alongside that of Harlem’s famed James VanDerZee, his work in Pittsburgh’s Hill District surpasses that of all other photographers in its breadth and rich portrayal of black urban America. ...A lifelong resident of Pittsburgh, Harris showed us how people and place mattered. His creative eye chronicled a vibrant black community, from its early days as a destination for migrants to its crucial civil rights and black power activism. Harris’ photos ultimately tell the story of the heritage of modern black migrations and the world they made. He recovers the cultural effluence and influence of industrial life in the Steel City and joins artist Romare Bearden and playwright August Wilson in shedding light on the unexpected, significant, and joyous details of our urban beauty.” —Kellie Jones, Columbia University

Nice. You've got your brick roadway, brick buildings and the big shiny car. And some snow too.

Nobody seemed to want this 6 cylinder automatic BID TO $4,300 ON 7/8/19 https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-oldsmobile-cutlass-5/

The Cutlass being discussed here seems relatively rust free, and the door "rust bubbling" may be due to rain getting inside the door and not draining out causing some rust from inside out near the lower seam. The question of whether it had been in a frontal collision due to the swapped hood, who knows, maybe the hood was swapped for some other reason, like just the hood got damaged somehow. I assume it is an automatic since no info to the contrary. So $15k is probably about right, but if the body is really clean with minimal rust then I could see someone paying more than $15. Maybe 15-18 would be my guess.

That's just BAT. You can search for anything. https://bringatrailer.com/

Paint those low spaces with a small artists brush with an angled end. Be patient. Hopefully you can get sharp lines by following the edges of the recessed spaces.

Look closely at the black marks. They're screwed up. They are very offset within the low areas. They're not meant to be like that are they?

Here's a whole PDF manual for it. http://hudsonterraplane.com/tech/1935/1935-38ElectricHandTechInfo.pdf

Electric Hand in ACTION! In order to shift all you do is let off the gas and the car shifts itself!

There are lots of boots for floor shifters and rack and pinion steering and the like. You might find something that is close enough.

Looks like there's your bellows Gary

I'm sure plenty of people will say stainless is MUCH BETTER for lots and lots of reasons. But I will go with brass..

Brass is smoother on the inside so the rubber cup does not wear so much. Surface of stainless can be "rough" and you can sense that when using stainless nuts and bolts.
