  1. This car has been for sale for a while but I couldn't find where it had been discussed previously. Obviously, the paint is horrendous, but I have to admit I've looked at the ad quite a few times. Maybe it's like the woman on the back of the motorcycle...you know it would never work out for a thousand reasons, and yet you do feel an attraction. Beverly Hills Car Club never puts much info in their descriptions. (310) 975-0272 This desirable matching numbers 1920 Cadillac Type 59 is available in yellow over green with a green interior. The vehicle comes equipped with a manual transmission, V8 engine, wood steering wheel, whitewall tires, wood spoke wheels. spare tire. An excellent original California car that is mechanically sound. For $29,950 https://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/1920-cadillac-type-59-c-13396.htm
  2. I remember reading about these when they were new. No idea what it's worth but it's certainly fun to see.
  3. Not mine... Looks a nice driver: (from H.A.M.B.) https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1928-studebaker.1255600/ This is a very nice car inside and out. Starts right up runs perfect drives very well. It's missing one outside door handle other than that no surprises with this car. Clear CA. title up to date tags. Mileage shows a little over 20k and it is believed to be correct but i cannot verify that. Looking at the car it's very possible tho. I can be reached during the day at 661-333-7557 or message me thru the Hamb. Thanks, Mark
  4. Not Mine.... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/d/salinas-1933-buick-57/7445737425.html 1937 Buick Series 57 Straight 8 - 3 Manual -Runs well and shifts well . Good DriverComplete car with spare accessory Tire at Rear - inside OG Mohar aged
  5. I belong to the Arcane club in the SF Bay Area. There are a number of DKW's and this would be most welcome! http://www.arcaneauto.org/index.htm
  6. It took considerable skill and many hours to do this... As my Mother used to say "just because you can doesn't mean you should".
  7. People always think rarity equals value. They don't get that the more popular car is better supported and so has a much bigger market.
  8. 80,000AUD = $57,000USD...very interesting body! I wonder why they don't want to complete it?
  9. '32 was the last year for the 4cyl but it was extensively redesigned and improved. I agree the price is definitely high for a non-runner. Also, the cars they are looking for in trade and the street rod comment makes me think this seller inherited it or some how came own a car they have no interest in but think should be worth big bucks.
  10. This is a really neat car! I was just reading about the crack engineering team of Zender, Skelton and Beer, who created the Chrysler 70 and I discovered that prior to Chrysler they were at Studebaker. While there they decided that a good test for any engine should be, that it be able to run for 50 hours at full load.
  11. There is a very interesting section on the Maxwell engine in Willem Weertman's excellent (if you are a gear head like me) book: Chrysler Engines 1922-1998.
  12. If you went to pick her up on your first day in this, you'd have a very clear indication of how she really felt about you!
  13. Much better than the typical "T" or "A" speedster, which is often just a hood to the cowl and a gas tank behind the seats. That type of design would have seemed really old fashioned by the end of WWI and something of a "rat rod" by the late 20's.
  14. Seems to me located some where in central California rather than Florence OR, which is too bad because Florence is a lovely town by the sea. These look fun but my town would have to resurface ever pot holed street before it would be fun to drive. I used to have a TR3 and I came to the realization it was more fun to see it drive by than to drive it.
  15. Looks nice and reasonably priced. I wonder if this was a factory color option... https://prescott.craigslist.org/cto/d/prescott-1923-maxwell/7437442953.html 1923 MaxwellRuns and drives! Has been in dry storage for several years. Older restoration. 4 cyl engine. Manual transmission. Rocky Mountain brake. Rare and unique car!Asking $10,900Call or text 480-two zero zero-0928
  16. Someone spent some money on this.... https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/spokane-1926-hudson/7437603059.html
  17. I think there a quite a number of cars that have hit the stratosphere in the last 20 years to our "older eyes" are hard to phantom. On my list would be VW 21 window buses, Toyota Land Cruisers, and all air cooled Porsches.
  18. Very neat to see! If you like biography, I would really recommend his autobiography. He lead a fascinating life and cheated death more than a few times. Drove racing cars for the Dusenbergs before WWI, later owned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and was President of Eastern Airlines. Spent several days in a life raft mid ocean at one point and suffered numerous terrible crashes.
  19. They are very tight by modern standard's. If you aren't comfortable with a window seat on a discount airline, this is similar.
  20. It certainly is a head turner! I hope the depressed market for Victorian furniture doesn't make it hard to sell. It does make me think of the harlequin VW paint option. Maybe the solution would be to paint the doors a different color. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-volkswagen-harlequin-golf/
  21. (Not Mine) If interested, this is local to me and I could go look. I look after another '25 Chevy belonging to my city so I'm familiar. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/santa-rosa-1925-chevy-superior/7436313811.html
  22. I thought of speedster material too! Hudson was the only major manufacturer that fielded a team during the board track era.
  23. Looks to be in the ballpark price wise.... https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/newport-beach-1914-ford-model-touring/7426109657.html I don't know why the forum is asking me to re-post this!
