I just scratched out some drawings with dimensions and gave it to the fabricator .I still have the car and can do some measuring if you wish. Are you trying to piece one together like I did ?

On my '25 Buick coupe. I restored a second set of cowl lights and mounted them on brackets that bolt to the front bumper hardware. I used amber LED bulbs. For the rear, I used a pair of NOS trailer lights with the spring wire clip holding the lens in. They are a good match for the original tail light. I had a small switch panel with two toggle switches and two small lights that I mounted under the dash to activate them.

No. It just showed up on a Facebook site.

This picture turned up on Facebook. It's being incorrectly called a Chevy . Looks like a '33 Reo Flying Cloud but the front fenders aren't right. Could be Nash but the louvered hood only shows on the Ambassador and there are five louvers on it.

I'd like to identify this touring car. The hub caps and headlights are unique. Photo from Elgin County Archives, St Thomas ,Ontario.

I bought this 1930's era Stromberg Motoscope on Kijiji a few years ago. I haven't tried to use it. It makes neat shop art.

That would be awesome, Don ! I look forward to it.

My wife took this photo of me behind your parts counter reliving my days as a parts guy, on a recent visit our HASC region paid to your shop. You have your work cut out for you ! Jim

I cancelled Hagerty Driver's Club several years ago. When my '29 McLaughlin-Buick conked out about twenty-five miles from home (this is in SW Ontario), I called Hagerty Roadside Assistance. I had a sinking feeling when the fellow on the other end of the line had a distinct Texas drawl. Friendly enough, but didn't have a clue where Ontario was. I ended up fixing the car on the side of the road and limped home. The magazine covers little in my narrow field of interest. The Valuation Tools have never had info on any of my collector cars. CAA does a fine job of assisting my family if a need arises, and they usually know where to find me. I have yet to see the December issue of the magazine, which I was promised when apparently a story i sent on my '78 Caballero was published. Anyone see that and have an unwanted issue ? I've had Hagerty insure my cars for years with no complaints so far, but Driver's Club isn't worth the premium to me.

One of my favorites is the "Passing Eye" mirror, which clamped onto the top of the driver's door so that you could see around the car ahead of you to know if it was safe to pass. Dennis Weaver could have used it to pass the big tanker in the movie "Duel" !

Powered by methane ?

I'm not the creator of this, but I was drawn to it in an antique store. Built from pieces you might find in any mechanic's junk drawer.

The Buick Standard and Master had different rad shells. If I remember the story correctly, when the new radiator style came out in 1924, Packard sued GM for its' similarity to their radiator shell. By 1927, GM had toned down the lines somewhat. The Chevy coupe is a 1927.

I'm thinking it's a 1927 McLaughlin-Buick. My '25 (Flint built) Buick is pictured. Jim

Nice find ! Don't know about California, but those are a rare sight around here. I too had several LeSabres and loved them, but road salt ate out all the fuel and brake lines, and the body mounts. I am preserving my '92 Park Avenue, which has rarely seen Canadian winters.
