The Packard Plant. I just find it interesting that cars were made in a building like that. Many floors. And lots of columns in the way. It does not seem ideal for assembly line production.

Karp's Brake Service We sleeve using 304 drawn, stainless steel. This provides superior quality while remaining affordable. Stainless steel is able to be honed to provide a cross-hatch pattern which aides in lubrication.

If they use brass I will send them something. I thought when this was discussed last time it was said they all used stainless. I want brass. That's what some "expert" said to get and I am inclined to agree. Send us empty casting (all fittings, bleeders, etc. removed) and we will clean it, resleeve with brass to standard size and return, so you can reassemble using kit you provide. https://www.applehydraulicsonline.com/ Send us empty casting (all fittings, bleeders, etc. removed) and we will clean it, resleeve with brass to standard size and return, so you can reassemble using kit you provide. Prices are same as for American cylinders, with some exceptions: Prices below are approximate. Please visit your car listing for more accurate pricing.

Police in California waved me to this roadside setup deal where they had a big truck, some stuff and some people there. They told me they were doing roadside emissions inspections, but that I had the right to decline. So I declined. I am getting mandatory smog checks every two years in order to keep my vehicle registered. I think this roadside deal is to catch cheaters. Like lots of people with performance cars remove the cats. Maybe they swap between the custom exhaust and the stock one every time they get a smog check. Or maybe they go so someone they know who fakes the smog check for them. Either way, even with the mandatory smog checks they know there are a lot of cheaters out there. Roadside Inspection Program The Roadside Inspection Program was established by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 44081 which requires BAR, with the assistance of the California Highway Patrol, to inspect the emissions of vehicles while actually being driven on California roadways. https://www.bar.ca.gov/Roadside_Inspection_Program

You added some lights atop the fenders? If you mentioned that before I missed it.

Yes I'd like to see the DeVaux Grille go to Dave too. He got a generous insurance payout so don't let him get away with low balling you.

I have a neighbor who keep a few of them in the field with his hogs. I mean pigs, not Harley Davidsons.

Great the way information that is right on point is provided.

NorthPoint Development to Redevelop Former Cadillac Stamping Plant in Detroit Posted on December 11, 2020 by Kristin Hiller in Development, Industrial, Michigan, Midwest DETROIT — NorthPoint Development and Michigan-based LoPatin & Co. have unveiled plans to redevelop the 44.8-acre former Cadillac stamping plant in Detroit. The project scope includes the demolition of an abandoned factory and the construction of a new 684,000-square-foot, Class A industrial building that will be geared toward automotive suppliers, advanced manufacturing and logistics users. The project is expected to generate a total private investment of $47.9 million and create 450 full-time jobs. The city and Michigan Strategic Fund are reimbursing $3.3 million for brownfield remediation work. The property has a history of manufacturing uses dating back to the early 1900s and requires extensive cleanup of the soil and asbestos removal in addition to high demolition costs, according to NorthPoint.

This is the website of the proposed developer. They plan some auto industry supplier to occupy the space once it's built. https://www.beyondthecontract.com/ Under the proposed development agreement, Northpoint would pay nearly $5.9 million for to acquire 56-acres of publicly-owned property, including the city-owned AMC property, approximately 26 residential parcels owned by Detroit Land Bank Authority, and an 8.5-acre parcel immediately to the west recently purchased by the Detroit Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. Northpoint will undertake environmental remediation and demolition of the existing AMC complex and that cost would be credited against the purchase price. “This redevelopment is a sign of continued collaboration to deliver jobs and reestablish property value for the community, said Tim Conder, Vice President of Acquisitions for NorthPoint Development. “Mayor Duggan places the community as a priority when considering how to tackle these projects.”

I did a search of "Charles Teenie Harris Cadillac" to see what pictures of his cars came up, etc. Got to see lots. He had a '37 I guess, before the newer one.

AJ mentioned it on the previous page.

I like the delivery truck. Wish we could see all of it.

OK I looked at street view and didn't recognize anything, but yes that 3 story building looks the same.

This was shaping up to be a good detective mystery that might have been solved by searching for the address of "Sam's Variety" but instead I had to go and ruin it by cheating.

I found this post confusing. I would say people on this forum are "posters" not bloggers. I thought the suspected scammer was going by the name "Blogger." But maybe not. maybe we are all "bloggers."

There are 150 of his pictures at the Carnegie Museum of Art, his archive, but only about 10 supposedly "feature" cars. Here they are in this link. https://prints.cmoa.org/search/collection/teenie+harris+archive/subject/cars

here is a good set of his photos. They do not feature cars. http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/pa-heritage/world-through-eyes-charles-teenie-harris.html

By ABC7 News SAN JOSE, CA The deadline imposed by the State for removing the nozzle clips is Friday. The order affects about 3,000 gas stations, or about one-third of the total in California. Tom Robinson, president of the Rotten Robbie gas station chain, told ABC7 the gas stations had asked for 90 days more to look for a solution or another vendor. They say just as dangerous, drivers will start using quarters and other things in place of the latches. "People will jam it in, in which case the person who jammed it could have a spray or spill incident," Robinson said. Gas station owners are also concerned that they will customers if they have to get rid of the clips. "If the customer has already left us, how do we ask them to come back?" Robinson asked. The state fire marshal called the nozzles a potential hazard to public health after 13 gas spraying incidents were reported. "They would go to grab the nozzle to put it in their vehicle and gasoline would freely spray," state fire marshal spokesperson Daniel Berlant said. The agency says the nozzle malfunction could unexpectedly spray gasoline before a nozzle is inserted into a vehicle's gas tank. By removing the hold open latch, a driver could stop the unexpected gasoline flow by yanking on the manual lever whereas the hold open latch would make it harder to stop the spray. Fire officials also believe a spring attached to the latch may somehow trigger an unintended gasoline flow. The order applies only to nozzles made by VST. There are two other California certified manufacturers of gas nozzles. The first bulletin by the state fire marshal's office came in June, alerting gas stations that damaged VSP nozzles were spraying gasoline. The mandatory order was issued in August. VSP told ABC7 it is ramping up production of a new nozzle with a secondary release mechanism. The state can fine gas station owners or shut down gas stations that do not comply to the order but the state fire marshal's office said they would rather work with gas station owners.
