  1. As a college student, I could get everything I owned, including my stereo and bicycle in my Porsche.
  2. Otherwise they might be required on motorcycles!

  4. Yes! ...I should have checked more carefully. They started at $19K last January and then went to $14K in March. All we can hope is that the decent condition and $19K asking will keep it from being sold to some hot rodder at Good Guys.
  5. I like Chrysler products and these have some features Model A's don't, but they also don't have the Ford's huge following. I'd say about half the current asking would be ball park IF IT RAN. Hard for some owners of rarer cars to understand that "rare" does not equal "valuable".
  6. It's minor hassle to get a car like this in the California DMV system. You have to get paperwork from the DMV, then have the "VIN" verified by the CHP (which requires trailering it to the CHP station after you've made an appointment) and then returning to the DMV. Alternatively, you can pay a certified inspector to come out and verify it for about $150, then go back to the DMV.
  7. I met Erik a few times. Very nice man. In the words of my father "A two stroke is like shearing a pig; there's a lot of noise but not much result".
  8. Seems like they are getting serious. Here's a link to the new posting https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/7525376480.html email d9d1ac1eeb0334f486c06fa6712d5afd@sale.craigslist.org
  9. Sounds like a nice car.

  10. I was once 6ft and probably still 5 11" and although I can't stretch out in an "A" I still enjoy driving cars that are pre-1930. You just gotta scrunch up some.
  11. The picture made me think it had been hot rodded, but I spoke to the seller, who told me his brother owned it for 7 or 8 years, and was planning to hot rod it but only got as far as the wheels before he died of COVID. He said the original engine is there and he has the transmission but it's out of the car. He thought is was "reasonably complete", with very good sheet metal. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/orangevale-restorable-1930-hudson/7522647086.html 1930 Hudson 8 cylinder coupe with rumble seat. Restorable condition, $5,000 or best offer.Located in Orangevale CA. Call Bob (916) 730-5856
  12. I saw a Craigslist ad recently where the pictures were taken at night! Makes you wonder...
  13. I think there's quite a bit more room in the bottom of this price! New listing: https://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/d/sanger-1919-cadillac-type-57-victoria/7524134241.html email: cc1f4d7c7d7531dfbdfa8f5a3c3fdae6@sale.craigslist.org
  14. I don't understand about the year, but this is the nicest Trabant I've seen. Doesn't even smoke bad! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/7524339206.html 1962/82 Trabant 601 Universal station wagon. 600 cc 2-cylinder, 2-stroke engine with 4-speed column shift, and 4th gear free-wheel. Well-preserved original bright green paint and beige cloth interior. 61,000 km actual mileage with recent mechanical refurbishment including battery, exhaust, clutch, tune-up, coils, and brake system. This is the Kombi model with factory fog lights, trip odometer, and rear wiper/washer. Looks great, runs and drives excellent, and all accessories including heat are in good working order. This car was imported from Dresden, Germany in 2017 and may be the only Trabbi currently titled and registered in California! Original Spare, owner’s manual, keys, and car-cover included. Gets over 50 MPG, is very reliable, and is ready to show or drive. (530) 304-0012The car can be seen in action here: https://vimeo.com/723430593, and here:
  15. Looks like the rear wheels are smaller...maybe it's just the pictures but I'm with you...something doesn't look right.
  16. A very interesting and rare car! The Oakland V8 has horizontal valves. You would think it would not be very powerful, but an Oakland finished 11th at Indianapolis in 1930!
  17. If the price was adjusted could be a nice "driver". Seems to be missing a lot of little things. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/7523821882.html 1938 Buick Century Coupe. Car is in great shape, but hasn’t run since it went to storage in the early 90s. Car has minimal rust—no rot anywhere. 320 straight 8. Again, the car drove to storage and then sat for 30 plus years. Engine and drivetrain is intact—nothing missing as far as I can tell. The body is in great shape but overall needs some TLC. Asking $9500 obo. (925) 698-6182
  18. Very Interesting! I'm very aware of Frontenac as the company formed by Louis Chevrolet in 1914 with backing by Albert Champion after he left Durant's GM, but I hadn't heard of this car. Is there a relationship? Are they the same company?
  19. Almost all the words in the title have no relationship to this car. It appears to be steel, so someone when to a lot of trouble here. There is very little useful information in the ad (does it run, for instance) but it does have this: "The crank pulley at the front of the engine had a belt running up to a generator that was on top of the cylinder head. The back of the generator had a shaft sticking out that the radiator cooling fan was mounted on. " So now I know that the 2 stroke SAAB isn't the only car with an "Overhead fan shaft"!....Good to know
  20. That fender paint job is over the top but I always love to see disc wheels and drum headlights. The statement "The car does start and drive." does not inspire confidence.
  21. The ad doesn't give much information but says it's in good condition. Compared to what I wonder!
