Official assault vehicle of the French Resistance!

On page 169 of "American Fire Engines Since 1900" by Walter McCall, there is a similar truck in the 1937 section. The Reistertown, MD. Volunteer Fire Dept. Wiki page (!) has this truck listed in their retired apparatus roster as a "1937 Packard".

Members 591 Posted 3 minutes ago Looking for a round bodied Wilmot Breeden calormeter (or "calorimeter"). These radiator cap mounted instruments are similar to the Boyce Motometer, except they use a dial instead of a capillary tube to read coolant temperature. They were used on mostly British cars, trucks and tractors from the 1920's through the 1950's.

Used on the tiny 1950's Continental "N-62" (62 cu.in. !) 4 cylinder flathead engine. Lotsa forklifts and industrial applications used these engines. Also used in the Allis Chalmers "G", Earthmaster "C" and Massey Harris "Pony" tractors equipped with the "N-62" engine.

I know how it is- for years I used to throw all my pocket change into my backyard, thinking some day I would get a nice metal detector and learn to use it by digging it all back up. Finally, I got one (a White's V3i) and set to work recovering my dirt-versified Retirement Fund. Its amazing how much of that money has apparently turned into nails, bottle caps, scraps of fence wire and tinfoil!

Worst automatic transmission shift pattern ever.

It looks like a local conversion done by an over eager body-shop/salvage-yard for their town's only Undertaker. The rigidly horizontal roof line and the slap-dash accoutrements just dont flow seamlessly into the underlying Buick's curvaceous Fisher Body. I'm guessing Miller, Hess & Eisenhardt or Flixible didn't list this conversion in any of their catalogs! Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in it...

The local Chevy dealer musta been having a year-end blowout sale on '55s! Luckily for the leader of this parade, when he gets to the levee on the outskirts of town, it will be dry...

Looks similar to the Henny Combo that appears in "Get Low", and "Once Upon A Time In America".

Never mind...

The tall, soldered-on, cast brass neck makes it a mid 1911 through 1912 version. In 1913 the neck was changed from a casting to a stamped brass part, that was then riveted to the tank. Also in 1913, the words "Made in U.S.A." were added and stamped below the "Ford" script.

Might need a replacement power cord and plug...

Not the exact model, but it shows how it works.

Dodgenberg?

That triangle emblem seems to be pointing the wrong way (up) to be a Hudson...?

I >think< the Ford inline 6s had the three bolt pattern, and starters for their V8s had just two bolts.

Fordson "F" tractor.

I'm not sure why it has the hexed portion on the backside(?) but various agricultural and industrial manufacturers used adjustable pulleys what you screwed in or out to change the dimensions of the groove so the belt rode deeper or higher in it instead of physically moving the entire generator assembly to adjust the belt tension. You cant be sure without a set of dimensions, but your pulley looks similar to pulleys used on Delco Remy generators used on Farmall tractors and power units from the late 1940's and 1950s. Hard to believe, but there is a whole clan of demented folks who collect and restore such woefully obsolete machinery and there is a pretty good niche industry that reproduces parts to cater to that crazy crowd so you might be able to find a suitable stand-in there. If you cant find a replacement, that pulley would also be easy enough to reproduce. You just need a good friend with a lathe and a mill. GOOD LUCK!

Or....

So close...
