  1. $6,000 asking price not bad. Assume a sale at $4,500 my guess due to the rust factor. Would make an attractive vehicle once finished. Problem is that "transportation" with a car hauler has gone up so much that unless a local buyer is in the game the cost to transport will be a high percentage of the overall cost.
  2. SUPER IDEA!!! How about a Rolls "Rat Rod". Just rip out that costly engine and replace with a 1970's GM used motor. You could then use it as a daily driver to the local Costco. Plenty of room in the back seat for bulk toilet paper, a dozen of the $4.99 Costco famous roasted chickens, and still room for a couple of the 5 foot tall fruit trees that can stick out of the side windows to later be planted in the back yard. You could then work part-time for the company that owns "Domino's Pizza" and place their lighted sign on the roof and start delivering pizzas in style.
  3. Pick me up at the LAX airport in this vehicle and drop me off at the local Russian spa near the airport. Did not STALIN have one of these models in the later 1930s when the USSR purchased some things from the Packard Company?
  4. What Make? Model? pedigree? Color scheme?
  5. For the money this appears a more than fair deal.
  6. The dash appears to be a fast fix as looks like only the machined face-plate needs to be either restored or replaced with one that likely can be purchased from Oklahoma at Glen's shop. Engine ? Assume the engine was replaced many years past? Who manufactured the engine? I also noticed the turn signals. What are the miles on the replacement engine? What was modified other than the obvious shown in the images?
  7. Where do you park it? Most parking spaces say "Compact" here where I live in California. I do not see that many parking spaces that say "Boat" You can't say that this vehicle is not getting attention when one drives it in public.
  8. I have a 1933 Buick 90 series 7 passenger sedan (very rough). Chassis is original but clean and surface rust. All doors there but removed. Engine there also but bad shape. Was used in Oklahoma before moved to Sacramento about 4 years past. Not for sale as I was going to use it for a parts car but I would be persuaded to sell.
  9. I recently read through my owner's manual for my 1934 Nash Ambassador 1200 series. I noticed that with the vehicle as new the first 250 miles the new owner is told not to exceed 30 M.P.H. The next 250 miles the owner can then drive up to 40 M.P.H. For the next 500 to 1,000 miles the owner is not to drive over 50 M.P.H. The manufacturer also recommends to lubricate the car every 1,000 miles, change the engine oil every 1,000 miles, inflate tires every week, fill the battery with distilled water every two weeks, clean the air cleaner every 3,000 miles, clean gasoline strainer on the fuel pump every 3,000 miles, change transmission and rear axle oil every 5,000 miles, check fan belt every 3,000 miles, etc. On this car the two types of lubrication: heavy oil and light oil and what appears to be over 20 areas that would need lubrication. You have to be a mechanic or dig up a long dead processional chauffeur to be bale to take this car out for a long drive. What are the "Recommendations of other 1930s cars during running-in period?". I am curious for these "running -in period" limits on speed for makes such as Ford, Dodge, Cord, Cadillac, Chrysler, Rolls Royce, Hupmobile, Pierce Arrow, Peerless, Buick, Marmon, Studebaker, etc? Is this recommendation for the 1934 Nash 1200 series about the same for all manufacturer's makes and models?
  10. I bought a 1933 Buick as a parts car. Sadly, the parts car looked too nice to be a parts car and I was uncomfortable in attempting to take away any of the parts. I later purchased another parts car and sadly that vehicle looked too horrible to be used as a parts car.
