Thank you sir - I believe that you nailed it! This one is NOS but unfortunately has a hairline crack, good for a driver for someone

To me that one is a case of just because you can, doesn't mean that you should. The proportions just seem off on it. Buy a Hellcat, get a warranty, dealer service and call it a day.

I was sorting through a pile of Owner's Manuals that I have and came across this sheet inside the package for a 1979 Olds Cutlass. I've seen the build sheets that were in the back seat springs before but I've not seen a page like this before. I figured at the very least @Steve Moskowitz would know the details.

This is one that I feel like I should know but I'm drawing a blank. Only markings are PLYAD on the bottom.

One other thought is if you want NOS put NOS in your search - I have nearly 5000 listings on Ebay and if the part is NOS, I put NOS in the title.

On the left side of the screen there are filter options after your initial search. Depending on your needs selecting "Used" under condition filters out most of the junk. There is also an option to select the manufacture so if you select the actual brand of your vehicle that will also get rid of most of the just. I also strongly encourage anyone to spend the money on a parts catalog and query by part number. The catalogs more than pay for themselves by ensuring that you are getting the correct part and the exploded views for various assemblies are usually better than what you will find in a service manual.

This isn't so much memorabilia as a brief history of the packaging of Chrysler parts in Canada over the years. I was sorting through a bunch of NOS parts today and thought there might be some interest on the logo and naming of Chryco and Autopar instead of Mopar. Top row is approximately 30's, 40's and then later 50's early 60's Middle row is mid 60's then the last box is early 70's Bottom row is 1970's and then mid to late 80 into the 90's before they finally adopted the Mopar name here. There is one missing between those two but I could not find a good example.

There's this other thread on the same business from a few days ago

I believe what you have is a 79 LTD. Search for Parking light or front turn signal lenses.

Google says that the Scottish Gaelic translation of Rye is Seagal - a little tough guy and gives a whole new meaning of fetching a little rye

I think that you will find that it's a 1936 to 39 Austin Seven Opal, possibly 35. I had a 38 sedan and from what I recall they did not change much if at all over those years.

Here you go - and he's around Kingston https://www.kijiji.ca/v-other/kingston-on/1980-gm-cadillac-service-manual/1642291572

We took the kids there about 12 to 14 years ago and stayed about halfway between Washington and Baltimore and took the MARC commuter train in to 'Washington. Saved on the hotel room plus parking and the hassle of getting into the capital area. Added bonus was the clerk at the hotel sent us to Timbuktu Restaurant in Hanover, Maryland. Special of the night was 2 crab cakes for a really cheap price. We asked the server how big they were they size of a soft ball. Being Canadian we are used to crab cakes being sized and shaped like a hockey puck and wow were we surprised when then arrived - truly the size and shape of a softball and absolutely fabulous!

Try here: https://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1045 Don't forget that a lot of trucks where shipped from the manufacturers as cowl and frame only, with no cab, particularly for export markets with a local body builder supplying the cabs/body.

One other important difference between the digital ones and the originals is that the original paper ones stand up a lot better than an laptop when they fall off the fender. I actually sell them on Ebay and have ended up picking up a few reproductions ones and I won't sell those ones on Ebay because of the quality issues, in particular the pictures and illustrations are like a 1990's photocopy. Where ever you decide to pick one up from just make sure that it is not the Advance Service book - Cadillac would publish an early edition with changes from the previous model year before the full version was published for the year. The covers look identical except for that one word Advance. I checked and unfortunately I don't have one but I see Ken McGee does.

Looks like an early 1930 Ford Model A to me

Following up from Terry and at the risk of sending some of you down the rabbit hole of this auction site https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm The company serves only government agencies and things that you can find range from a 50's diesel electric locomotive, to a tug boat, and even a 1964 Jag E Type at the moment. All online bidding and low fees.

Looks like it all depends on the van you are looking at and the actual auction house that is looking after the sale - some of them are dealer only. Not a one size fits all answer. Have you looked at a used U-Haul? We had good look putting one into a fleet use where it was needed on an infrequent basis but still a required unit. Never required any unexpected maintenance.

Thank you sir! Now the next question is why my late uncle had it! Mopar family, though he did let one Chev slip in during a weak moment.

I suspect this to me a Ford product from the format of the part number - I can't make out the number but it seems to be of Ford style with 4 digits then a hyphen followed by maybe 5 digits then another hyphen and more characters. Of course I could also be completely wrong. Any and all help is appreciated.

I told my wife during a road trip this past March that I was good with one car thing each trip - hit the Gilmor on our way to Waco - but I'm now thinking next year I need to plan a trip to this tour and hit Rhinebeck on the way home. Good thing she comes from an old car family!

After @keiser31 gave his response I took another look at the pictures and noticed the residue from the gold on the ridges. I don't know why or how someone would have gone to the trouble to do that and manage to not disturb the center portion but sure looks like they did.

Being home to King Seagrave there always seemed to be one of those C series Ford's out front waiting for delivery, or bare chassis in the yard waiting to be built. I could be wrong but I believe my Cub Scout leader was the guy who did the gold leaf on them.

Getting back to the cars and leaving the personal stuff behind some of these cars do intrigue me. Yes, there are a lot of ifs, however, there also a lot of buts so looking at this Buick Forget the color choices, not everyone is about the 100 % original, I can guarantee that you roll into any cruise night or local show and you will have a crowd with this car. If someone took the time to really look this car over and if it was solid and complete and you could get it for the starting bid would it be a reasonable buy? I know there's the but is the engine any good, but do you need to replace the tires, but what about the wiring etc.. but anyone one of your cars could also throw a rod tomorrow as well. This is a desirable body style and the chrome work is already done which is a major plus. To me the greatest risk is the engine and for the price is that a reasonable risk? I have noticed that none of the cars appear to have a drip tray under them and given that most cars like to mark their territory does that mean that the cars have been displayed dry (no oil/water etc) and what risk does that present? At the end of the day it comes down to is the sum of the parts worth the total? And it's a hobby for the owner, the dollars don't always make sense but they do seem to have a way to make cents on the dollar. Be reasonable, be rationale and above all be kind with your thoughts.
