Leif in Calif

I went to Laguna Seca many times as a kid when it was still on an active Army Base (Ft. Ord). I later qualified with the M14 there as a 20 year old. My reading of what's going on is the neighbors are complaining that the track is now used 340 days a year, and that's far different than it was 20 years ago. They want some restrictions, and perhaps they will get some of them but it's owned by Monterey County, and is a major major revenue generator (almost a quarter billion a year) . The County has said "The County does not recognize any merit to the allegations and expects a favorable legal conclusion.” It's not going anywhere.

I'm been around a few of these Hollywoods and do think they are neat. You don't realize how much has been lost until you juxtapose the original design. Gordon Buehrig was a master!

Looks nice but searching this forum it make sure it hasn't been already posted revealed that this is almost double the typical price.

This is 1 of 15 with factory Overdrive. When Cord went out of business, Graham continued with the coachwork of these cars. You can look up a lot of information on the web about these cars. This car was shown many years at Branson Auto & Farm Museum in Missouri from he mid 1980's to 2016 when a enthusiast brought it to Texas. In 2019, it was sold to a friend of ours here in Newberg, Oregon. It has a 218 Inline 6, with Factory Graham Supercharger on it, pretty cool car, Original VIN take, with Numbers matching Engine ID is on the tag, and ID is stamped on side of the block. Runs and drive excellent, older restoration, but overall really nice car. It takes someone who wants something different, and has knowledge of these cars. It spent the last 4 years at a Newberg Winery on display, and driving folks around. Interior was all redone in wool in 2016. This is a really cool car, if you have interested let us know. $59,000 obo, Denwerks Vintage Car Shop, DA0612 Thanks Jason (503) 910-2085

I remember long ago someone said: "Never look a car for sale after dark or in the rain."

It for sure is the greatest assemblage for French automotive masterpieces out side of the National Museum in Mulhouse, France. The French auto industry in the inter-war period held the same position in the auto design and performance pantheon as the Italians did in the 50's. It's a terrible shame that it's closing but it always seemed to me that it was only open just enough to satisfy the IRS.

I vividly remember the whole Harrah's ordeal. There is a biography of him but I don't have a copy so here's my semi-reliable memory: My recollection is he said that he didn't want to lock anything down about it...that it was "his" collection and once he was gone others should decide. Naturally the hotel chain saw it as a "non performing asset", and we were lucky the State of Nevada found funding to save about ten percent. I believe at the time of his death there were 1100 cars and other objects including a Ford Trimotor airliner.

I think these mathematically adjusted old values are misleading...it's just such a different world today. These were expensive cars when they were new, but I looked it up and the average transaction price for a new vehicle today is around $47K. That's an AVERAGE price. In 1960, my parents sold our very modest house for $15,000. The formula used above says that would equate to about $151K today, but Zillow says the house worth $875K. Makes me glad I'm old, and don't have to deal with this stuff.

I wonder how bad the parts you can't see are.....(more pics in ad) Seems like its been a hard 3 years. https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/d/camas-1955-buick-century-convertible-v8/7708281793.html Selling my 1955 BUICK CENTURY CONVERTIBLE - Clean title - V8, Runs - Low miles on car and engine approximately 25,000 - Automatic Transmission - Convertible Top Works, Goes up and down. - Very straight body - Complete Interior - Driver's side rocker panel needs work. - Trunk panel will need to be replaced. - Electrical windows/seats work - Front Driver’s side Wheel Spindle needs to be replaced. - Great candidate for restore - A true collector!

I think this can be one of the most graceful body configurations, but I also imagine that it is a bit like all two doors and so takes an extra bending step or two on entry and exit. It does put the rear seat forward of the rear axel, and I wonder if that offered a benefit to the ride quality. I know Maurice Olley do a lot of experiments about this in the 20's and 30's. Any thoughts?

Great story! Interesting to know that was going on in the neighborhood long ago. I was in that neighborhood for many decades on business and can report that, while it's far from the worst part of town, the availability of illicit substances (and services) has been pretty continuous!

Really nice car! I'd be suspicious of that free delivery option. You send money, they send something that resembles paperwork, then..... The Dictator is such an opportunity for a teachable moment. In the late 20's when this model was named, dictator was a pretty new term, and people thought it was a sort of benevolent strong-man who could get things done and end chaos.

I hadn't realized that the stock body was as plain as has been shown by Twisted Shifter. That means that the "wood" is just a two dimensional picture which probably looks almost cartoonish in real life but appears OK in a photo. Now I think if you saw this in person, it would be like so many stories you read about dating aps. Ech!

I love this body style! I wonder if the placement of the rear seat closer to the middle of the chassis (as opposed to a sedan where you are right over the back axel) results in a better ride. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1932-cadillac-v12-town-coupe/

VERY nice example of a an important car you rarely see today. Take it to the Cars and Coffee and leave it idling with the hood open...people love that exposed valve gear!

This is the very end of Dodge 4 cylinder Dodges. Production of the 6 started in February 1928 and the 4 ceased on July 27. Dodge never had a "Red Head"...that was a Chrysler idea. I'm not up on the timing of chassis improvements, but I believe this is the last of the rear wheel brake cars too.

I would worry that freeway speeds might make it whistle.
