Real Steel

I had two unrestored Dodge Brothers Roadsters (1924 and 1925). I drove them all the time and loved it. By 1925, the DB cars were still very similar to their 1914/1915 ancestors, but, they were very different (and better) than the Model T in every respect. By the time that keiser31's '31 DB coupe was built, it was a very different animal than the 1925 model. I love the 1931 DB's!

I came upon this ad while doing some virtual swap meet hunting. You don't see these covers very often, especially when you consider they're made from cardboard. The thing that struck me was how brilliant the blue color is (or at least 'was'). B&W photography has warped our perception of historical colors. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/clt/d/hemet-1920s-set-of-2-richfield-radiator/7119060137.html

Sorry to see the end of the line for your Crown Vic. What goes on with these cars that people love them so much? My son has a 2009 Crown Vic P-71...and he loves it! The car was 'rescued' from the Kernville (CA) PD Probation Department. We don't have the rust issues here in SoCal; its one of the few benefits of living here. And then Ford just up and stops making them. Go figure!

The dog dish hub caps and the blackwalls just make it look right. I love it...so jealous! Comgrats

That "Roar With Gilmore" just rocks! I love it. Is there a cost-effective way to transfer a digital image onto a canvas tire cover?

Welcome Jay! You will make friends and find knowledgeable people here. One of my sons is an Eagle Scout also. so I know the dedication and hard work it takes to make that happen. I had a 1965 Studebaker in the last millennium...it was my wife's daily-driver.

World-War-Two automobile home-front items are anything having to do with the way things changed for the sake of supporting the War. Items include 'Blackout' type cars, auto-related items saved from the WW2 scarp drives, metal items missing a finishing coat, and much more. I'm hoping that there is an international response...everyone is welcome to share their piece of history, regardless of the 'side' your country was on. These eight identification tags are what's left of a WW2 Scrap Processing Center. Vehicles brought to the center were sometimes salvaged for usable parts to keep existing cars going during the war. Those parts were then saved and resold. These tags were placed on/in storage areas to help keep things organized. Tucked into the tag holder is a small strip of colored paper; these are most likely scrap tickets for labeling individual items...they themselves are cut-up re-purposed cards.

My wife snapped this one when I was recently relaxing. 1930 Ford Pickup

The back sides are for organizing your valves

This is so true. If you look at my avatar, that's me with my 1930 Ford pickup...and that's how they looked in the 1930's and 1940's. For those of you that have seen the movie 'The Highwaymen', you will see that Kevin Costner's character drives the same pickup, complete with road dirt.

Its been a while since I used one of these for its intended purpose. These days I use them as backdrops for photos. I love it when people ask what the holes are for. Be off, you Heathens!

Blue Point Hub puller. Shown being used on my 1930 Ford Pickup, and shown in the 1933 Snap-On / Blue Point catalog. I love this tool and the way it oozes Quality.

Mr. Pie says, "Don't let your leather just rot away"

"...well, yes sir...we did Drive all the way around the world, and we never took a single step outside of our dependable Buick. We both see now that, maybe a few restroom breaks would have been in order"

A great film, and I like his approach..."I'm not easily rattled". When my girls were young, they complained bitterly in the winters because they had to sit in the rumble seat on the way to school. It was southern California.

That's one heck of a pedestrian eviscerator

Exactly right. Its just that there are more Model A's out there, so they get more coverage. Its human nature to twist perception into reality.

The frightening 'Death Wobble' occasionally made a presence when my 1930 Ford pickup passed over a stretch of rough road. After some poking around, I found that the steering gear box sector shaft bushings were well worn. I replaced the bushings and installed a near-NOS sector shaft. Checked and adjusted the steering box in the usual manner, then reinstalled. Death Wobble gone.

Dave- It seems to me that most of the replies here are not addressing your costumers requirements. Your customer wants to 'feel' safer; this has nothing to do with 'being' safer. Put a seat belt in the car and put the ends under the seat. Attach them with a tie-wrap or something similar. Easy. Customer feels safer. Done.

Lincoln Shocks Advertisement

Hi everyone. Here is a great rare find. These 1910s 1920s Limcoln 'Balloon' shocks are either NOS or are excellent used. The Lincoln shocks were made for ALL cars and trucks, although, I'm sure you could put them on a Lincoln too. For those who didn't know, 'Balloon' (as shown on the cover of the shocks) refers to balloon tires. The automotive balloon tires were a new tire industry design introduced by Firestone in 1923. - Everything moves as it should. - The shocks look unused. - The return springs are not broken and they work fine. - There is some old sticky grease inside and it should be cleaned before use. - There is some shelf dust inside that should be cleaned out. - The cover screw holes are not stripped out. - There are no dents or damage that I can see. - It appears that someone repainted the outside surface of the covers. - This is a matching pair; one is marked '1R', and the other is marked '1L'. - The overall dimensions are shown in the photos. I cant upload more photos, maybe they're too large? You can see photos here on my Craigslist ad: https://post.craigslist.org/manage/7075003588/32gzd Price: 365 USD.

My Three Sons. They found time to work together. Now that's a rare find! (1972 Pontiac Ventura II) Fred MacMurray would be proud,

The listing history says 'Sold'. $6500

What glass would it go in?? ...oh, wait...sorry, sorry...
