Leland Powels sells sets of these very reasonable and they look excellent. You might check with him before you spend a lot of money.

1925 dodge touring four-cylinder starter issues
AB-Buff replied to AB-Buff's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
I’ll ask, I’m not sure if the starter is still in the car. It’s basically at a automotive repair shop downtown that he uses. I just checked in on it when they were having issues. So I will ask if it’s still there and see. -
1925 dodge touring four-cylinder starter issues
AB-Buff replied to AB-Buff's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
It’s an older restoration probably 30-40 years ago maybe more. he has a decent car collection and this one’s probably been sitting for a while. I think they are just going to exchange the starter with Myers. -
1925 dodge touring four-cylinder starter issues

Starter Generator, tested it with a brand new battery and went straight from the battery to the starter generator. I think I am going to recommend them sending it to Myers back in Michigan. -
Hi A friend of mine has a 1925 Dodge touring four-cylinder. He’s having some starter issues. Apparently he had sent the starter to someone on the northern west coast and they change the brushes. The starter turns over fine by itself if you take the spark plugs out of the engine it will turn the engine over, but as soon as you put the spark plugs back in, it doesn’t have enough to turn the engine over, just a click. And that is connecting it directly from a battery to the starter bypassing all of the other cables in the car. do any of you know of a knowledgeable good source that can rebuild that starter? Or any suggestions on what that might be. It does have a good ground and like I say, going directly to a battery to the starter will not turn the engine over with the spark plugs. It will with the plugs out. Lynn PS The car is located in Central California South of Stockton, Tracy. It would be nice to find somebody semi-local.

Well, Matt, I just think you need to buy another car. Continue enjoying the Lincoln on tours and have fun with it. But I think you need to get an American Austin or a American Bantam Roadster. Then you can take and park it next to the Dusenburg in the Auburn and give them back a little bit of what they gave you.
-
Well, unfortunately, I don’t know anyone that owns a Dusenburg. My experience in the last 20 years of going to Concours is, when I see a high end car and I go visit the owner to talk to him about it, there’s a 99% chance it’s not the owner it’s someone who takes care of the car does it off and the owner shows up later that day. It is what it is. I would’ve liked to have met Bob.

You know, I would rather have your car, than either one of those two. More than likely they’re just trailer queens and more than likely their owners only know how to write a check. But you on the other hand are a hands-on type guy and you thoroughly know the inside and out of that Lincoln. And if something happens to where you have to adjust or do something on the side of the road, you’re going to be able to do it, chances are they won’t. Anyway, don’t sell your Lincoln short. It’s a great car. Lynn

I sent you a message, I’m interested I would like to know what you’re asking for them. Thank you. Lynn

A few pages back there was a discussion on rear view mirrors, I cant remember who suggested this suction cup type mirror but I have to say it has been the best $20.00 I have spent in a long time. My Lincoln coupe is really hard to see out of, especially on the right side. I stuck this on the passenger window and have driven the car probably 400 miles of more and it's fantastic!! I can see very well on the right, I can even park it! Sooo Thank you!! Lynn

That’s pretty interesting. I have bought the new ones from China on Amazon and I tend to burn them out, even had a couple it didn’t work out of the box. So nothing like good old made in the USA even if it’s 70 years old. I’ve had the two in there for a couple of years and they still burn bright and haven’t had any issues. I do carry a couple of spares, but I haven’t had to put them in. Maybe I am just fortunate? L

Matt it’s an easy fix. Make sure your reflectors are in good quality of silver or I had mine aluminum coated not quite as good as a perfect silver but they don’t oxidize. There’s a guy in Oregon that does it. I have his contact info somewhere if you need it. But, go on eBay look around for a little while and find some 25–30 pre-focus bulbs there 52 candle power. When you’re driving your car at night set your headlight on passing. I am wondering if you still have that feature. The passing mode is your left headlight stays on low beam and the right one goes to high beam. You can see fantastic. I don’t mind driving mine at night at all. See pic

1932, 1933 Cadillac blue dot tail light lens
AB-Buff replied to AB-Buff's topic in Cadillac & LaSalle
Frank, it is sold. -
The same guy that bought his Fresno stuff sold what was in Niles. or moved it, he still has piles of stuff. I'm sure a lot of it was scraped. Too bad. A lot of it was not marked and hard to identify, it would have taken years to identify the stuff and his daughter need the $$ and she was asking a lot for the inventory, If you had paid what she wanted it would have taken 30 years to get you $$ back so I think he just helped her sell the stuff and split the $$ The link on that business card goes to some Chinese place but I think the phone still works.

Yes, the Fresno one is no longer around. Been empty for a couple years. But the Fowler wrecking yard is still there. He has something I think around Selma in another place at Kingman I think. he should answer that phone if not leave a message
