  4. Interior looks pretty good, could be a very fair price if it runs well but no information about that, and I don't see a rear license plate would makes me think it's not currently registered. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/santa-rosa-1936-chevrolet/7632160391.html * 1936 Chevrolet 4 door sedan* Original 6 cylinder engine* Original radio* 55,214 original miles (707) 695-8447
  5. Over the weekend, a friend showed me a site where you can use this new artificial intelligence "program" Chatgpt. I thought it might be interesting to ask it a car question. See below, the response came back more or less instantly. Shows it's not quite ready to take over the world... How do I renew the externally contracting rear brakes on a 1921 Buick? ChatGPT Renewing the externally contracting rear brakes on a 1921 Buick requires a few steps. However, please note that working on vintage vehicles requires specialized knowledge and experience. If you're not familiar with automotive mechanics or working on classic cars, it's recommended to consult with a professional mechanic or an experienced restorer who is knowledgeable about vintage vehicles. That being said, here is a general outline of the process: Gather the necessary tools and materials: You will need a set of replacement brake shoes, a brake spring tool, a brake adjusting tool, brake fluid, brake cleaner, a brake bleeding kit, a jack, jack stands, and basic hand tools. Safety first: Before starting any work, make sure to put on safety glasses and work in a well-ventilated area. Engage the parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Raise the rear of the vehicle: Use a jack to lift the rear of the car and secure it on jack stands. Ensure that the vehicle is stable and won't move while you're working on it. Remove the old brake shoes: Locate the rear brake drums. Remove the wheel and tire assembly, and then remove the brake drum. The brake shoes will be visible inside the drum. Using a brake spring tool, carefully remove the retaining springs and pins that hold the brake shoes in place. Take note of the order and positioning of the various components as you remove them. Install new brake shoes: Clean the brake drum using brake cleaner to remove any debris or oil. Install the new brake shoes in the correct orientation, following the same order as the old ones. Secure them in place with the retaining springs and pins. Adjust the brakes: Using a brake adjusting tool, adjust the brake shoes to ensure they are properly aligned with the drum. The shoes should be adjusted so that they make even contact with the drum when the brakes are applied. Bleed the brake system: If necessary, bleed the brake system to remove any air that may have entered during the process. Refer to the vehicle's service manual for the specific procedure to bleed the brakes on your 1921 Buick. Reinstall the brake drum and wheel assembly: Carefully slide the brake drum back onto the wheel hub. Make sure it fits securely. Reinstall the wheel and tire assembly, and tighten the lug nuts. Lower the vehicle: Use the jack to lower the vehicle from the jack stands, and remove the stands. Give the brake pedal a few pumps to ensure that it feels firm and responsive. Test the brakes: Take the vehicle for a short test drive in a safe area. Gradually apply the brakes to test their performance and ensure they are functioning correctly. Pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations and address them if necessary. Remember, these are general guidelines, and the process may vary depending on the specific model and condition of your 1921 Buick. It's always recommended to consult the vehicle's service manual or seek professional assistance when working on vintage cars to ensure proper care and safety. Regenerate response

  8. Seems a fair price for a nice looking car. I saw the 1937 and 1973 Plymouths listed together and for a moment I though dyslexia had struck!
  9. "One owner" so if he bought it when he was 15, he'd be 123 today!
  10. Interesting car but pictures and price don't seem to match. One owner (must be quite elderly!) https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1915-jefferies-made-by-rambler.1294329/ 1915 Jeffries made by rambler 1 of 4 have paperwork on it original car everything's original must see vehicle $65,000 will not discuss real car 1 of 4. one owner runs and drives. 937-361-0693

  13. Looks like good deal that will make someone very happy.
  14. In replies on BAT, the daughter says her father was once clocked at 85mph. She didn't say if he got a ticket, but that's a pretty scary speed with 1910 technology.
  15. I have a theory that what ever your automotive heart desires, it's probably in someone's garage or barn not that far away, but won't be revealed until the property has to be cleared.
  16. Final or what? Anyway, here's a link to the current (almost the same) ad. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/menlo-park-1940-chevy-master-85/7629958184.html email: b7830d94c8a83401b82ae6315e6ff465@sale.craigslist.org
  17. Obviously not a good idea but you actually may be correct. I was behind an autonomous car in San Francisco last year. It was on a 2 lane street and our lane was blocked by a delivery truck. The autonomous car couldn't get by the truck because every time it pulled out, it saw another car coming. It didn't know how to "take it's turn". I made a U turn and went another way.
  18. This has one of the more interesting videos I've seen. Owned for 65 years! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1910-maxwell-q4-sportsman/
  19. Again with the orange wheels!

Bottom of car is just as clean as the top of the car. Dont think you will be dissapointed. Give me a call if interested. Will ship international if you arrange shipping. Thanks.
  20. Looks very nice (are those orange wheels?) Probably way over priced but, as they say, "it only takes one to buy it". https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/pittsburg-1931-chevy-window-coupe/7629372583.html 1931 CHEVY 5 WINDOW COUPE IMMACULATE CONDTION FOR MORE INFO CALL 925 783 9803 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
  21. I never understand why people don't make some small attempt to get it running before they try to sell. Change the oil, check the plugs and rig up some sort of fuel source...it would make thousands of dollars difference.
  22. Finally! a car where the orange wheels don't detract! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1934-packard-twelve-1107-club-sedan/
  23. "it was in the Harrah's Auto collection in Reno Nevada until 1965 when the collection was sold off " Harrah did occasionally sell things but the auction was (by very fallible memory) in 1982. One of those time I really wished I was rich.
  24. This feature is getting common but the proposed new rule will make it standard and extend it to vehicles under 10,000lbs and require it to be active up to 62mph. How will it affect our hobby? Given the time it takes to be adopted and the slow replacement of vehicles currently on the road, there won't be any noticeable effect for quite a while. I can only hope that in the future, the car will be paying attention, even if the owner isn't... and that's a plus for everyone.
