1947 Pontiac streamliner (silver streak) $20,000
Jim Skelly replied to deac's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
sold ... -
I've used this for small cleaning projects around the outside of the house. If used in conjunction with a degreaser such as Gunk, does a good job on greasy surfaces. Old toothbrushes also work well with another application of Gunk foam spray or liquid to finish the job. Turbo Jet High Spray Hose Nozzle Attachments 1000243 - The Home Depot

I did a Google search on the Ebay photos that I posted but came up with nothing.

WAGs - Wikipedia 🤔 thanks, guys; maybe it was mounted to a walnut base or something similar?

WAG?

Does anyone know what this is or what it would have been mounted on? It's 4 3/8th diameter. The holes on the back are threaded. Thanks.

I would try the Detroit Public Library's Automotive History Collection: National Automotive History Collection | Detroit Public Library or their Burton Historical Collection which has much information on Detroit history: Burton Historical Collection | Detroit Public Library or you might want to contact the museum in the city where the Dodge Brothers grew up: Niles History Center | Michigan

The oval radiator Chevrolet emblem was only used in 1928. There is no link on Craigslist to even contact the owner. -

From the looks of the car, a person might think it was designed for an inline 12 or 16. It's nice that the car was saved. -
Thanks for posting the video, Dave. The plant was a few miles East of where I grew up. It was converted into the McGraw Glass Plant and eventually razed. The factory was designed by Albert Kahn Associates.

What type of glue to use- brush on or tube?
Jim Skelly replied to TerryB's topic in Scale Automobiles (Models)
good tips, Mr. Don! -
WWJ in Detroit has been broadcasting since August of 1920.

I've wanted to get one of these kits but to build it totally stock. Does it have the correct seats? What kit did the wheels, tires and hubcaps come from? Is there another Monogram 1/24th kit that has a stock Chevrolet inline six? Thanks.

WJR in Detroit is another clear channel, 50,000-watt station. It has been around since 1922.

I've used Elmer's white glue since 1965. It's water soluble in case you mess up and get it on places where it doesn't belong. Unlike model glue, it doesn't melt the plastic. It dries clear, too. A bonus is if you ever decide on a color change or have mastered painting and want to redo it, it's a lot easier to disassemble the model without damaging anything.
