Cured

Not sure why the mileage is listed in km when Canadian cars didn't start metric speedometers until about 1976.

A '51 International L120 was the first vehicle I drove. Was 6 years old. If you didn't double clutch you didn't shift. This one is pretty far gone.

I know you using a generic description in your search for rings but might I suggest finding a more precise measurement than 1/26th of an inch. The commonly used one thousandths of an inch are over 38 times more accurate.

Looks like V-8 emblems on the fenders. Gram's had a 289.

This car is the same model and year as my Grandmother's last car. She started driving Model T's in the 1920s. Horses were Grandad's thing. He left the driving and vehicle maintenance to Grandma. There was only one car in Grandma's opinion and that was a FORD. Her last Ford sedans were a 49, 53, 59, and the 65. I drove the '65 in college after Grandma quit driving. It wasn't really much of a car but it did get a load of us across the Rockies to see Rod Stewart in Vancouver in March of '72. On smooth tires.

You sure have the McLaughlin looking good Old Tech. I hope you put it up on here and tell the whole story sometime soon. Regards, Ed C.

Looks like a great time capsule at a pretty good discount.

Probably too far away but I've got a teens Franklin drive train mounted in an Essex body. Pretty complete and not rusty. Also know where there are two late 20's Pontiac sedans. All for very reasonable $$.

Thanks Thomas. I plan to go through your part of the country in April. If it works out I will call then.

Thanks Maddie. Right up my alley but too far away. Good luck selling.

Thanks AK. I’ve got a car to look at in Wisconsin first.

My recollection is that my best buddies Dad had a '59 Plymouth station wagon that carried the Suburban name. It was a big V-8 wagon.

Thanks Jay. That is what I am looking for. I do have one to look at in Wisconsin that's closer. Won't do anything until we get this record book winter over with. Merry Christmas!

Thanks. I have found a 1918 touring to look at in the spring.

Very nice car. If I can come there I will call. Ed
