WARNING All of our cars could be outlawed!
dustycrusty replied to Brass is Best's topic in Automotive Legislation
Yes, the boogie man is coming........... -
"No relationship. Those look like 30’s truck hubcaps. Someone else will know which years." The hubcaps are 1934- 1941(?)stainless steel 1.5 ton truck caps.

Anybody want to buy a genuine Stutz on the cheap (2500.oo)??
dustycrusty replied to dustycrusty's topic in General Discussion
PRICE DROP! Reduced to 2000.oo today! Best deal on a Stutz since since that ill-conceived 1971 CBS show "BEARCATS!" was cancelled and George Barris sold off the 2 "recreated" machine gun toting Stutz Bearcats he built for the series........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX_bDkaNE0o -
Help identifying 1960's - 1970's Wood Grain Gauge Cluster

THATS a Matador? (1975-1978) -
Good job saving another piece of equipment! I see you are a fellow HCEA member- have you been to any of their shows? Lotsa big old equipment randomly (or so it seems) running around digging, hauling, pushing and trenching the dirt. The crowd varies from young toddlers who can barely walk and wear diapers to old retired operators who can barely walk and wear.... hey, wait a minute..... Where was I? Oh, yeah with all of its mechanical mayhem (and if you love the smell of stale diesel and fresh dirt) its a great way to spend a weekend! I'm surprised OSHA doesnt shut them down..... Here's my Allis "D" maintaining our mile long dirt road last winter. I usually get the road cleared a day or two before the road commission grader finally shows up.

We are getting close!

You may be on to something there! notice the shape of the radiator..... The original "Monkeymobile"?
-
Pope Hartfords had a similar radiator shape, but I havent been able to match any other features to this one and them. Those massive headlamps belong on a locomotive!

According to my reading of the CCCA guidelines, it qualifies as a Full Classic! https://www.classiccarclub.org/approved-classics -
It musta been a joy to drive on a muddy, slushy road and have all that gunk and grime migrate to the highest point on those fenders as they bounced along, before blowing back at the driver and their passengers!

The top one is a nicely accessorized 1924-'25 Chevrolet. Yes, that bottom one is a early to mid 20's Model T Ford.
-
a late teens, early 1920's model T Ford with the rear turtle deck removed and fitted with a "salesman's box". It could be home made or a store bought unit.

Those Dodge brothers were both heavy drinkers, but....

first car is a 1905 Caddy

Seriously, it is impressive!

I know for a fact that three skinny high school teenagers will fit in the trunk of a 1940 Chevrolet sedan. You can squeeze a fourth behind the three rear facing bodies if you put the spare tire in the back seat foot well and cover it with a blanket.........

It looks like a rear door off of a 1920's- early '30s panel delivery truck, and not necessarily a Ford. Unfortunately for your search, 99.9% of those bodies from that era were built by non- factory, aftermarket suppliers who could furnish their coachwork handiwork to several different manufacturers. That would mean that finding the company who built the body this door came off of will probably be a near impossible task!

mystery "1916" car on Facebook Marketplace
dustycrusty replied to dustycrusty's topic in What is it?
Found it. It is a Saxon, built in Detroit and Ypsilanti, Mich. from 1913-1923. -
All my reference books are boxed up for getting new carpet installed this week! Seller knows no details except it is a "1916", doesn't run, and they want $10,000 for it. They are also selling a dropped axle Model "T" speedster...... Hell of a garage!

Identify the transmission in this Henderson Cyclecar?
dustycrusty replied to Cyclecar Guy's topic in What is it?
That 1 inch square drive is probably a pretty good clue it is an auxiliary transmission originally marketed as an accessory for a Ford Model T. A few dozen aftermarket manufacturers made a thousands of these bolt-on gear-splitters to give the T's planetary transmission a few more gear ranges to make the best of that anemic 4 cylinder engine's 20 (net!) H.P.. If you post this over on the Model T Club of America (MTFCA) discussion board, you'll probably have a positive I.D. before the picture can finish downloading!
