  1. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
  2. Well, Diamond is the truck side of REO... not sure how it entered the Seller's description... this car didn't sell at Mecum on March 5th... https://www.mecum.com/lots/1114446/1930-reo-flying-cloud/
  3. Not Mine I think this is it... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/937767327976938?ref=category_feed&referral_code=undefined&referral_story_type=listing&tracking={"qid"%3A"-2345292657455867840"%2C"mf_story_key"%3A"6854071338035472"%2C"commerce_rank_obj"%3A"{\"target_id\"%3A6854071338035472%2C\"target_type\"%3A0%2C\"primary_position\"%3A45%2C\"ranking_signature\"%3A8092988671004496731%2C\"commerce_channel\"%3A504%2C\"value\"%3A0.00015785920348726%2C\"candidate_retrieval_source_map\"%3A{\"6854071338035472\"%3A111}}"%2C"ftmd_400706"%3A"111112l"} Seller's Description great condition must see and drive true classic $23,000 Listed 7 weeks ago in Findlay, OH
  4. per·se·vere - verb - definition: continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success. ...sounds like the asking price to me...
  5. Not Mine Seller's Description 1954 Pontiac Chieftain. It been in my family for 55 years. Low milage and in great shape and it runs. Seller's pics...
  6. I had not seen the Chrysler Newport Dual Cowl Phaeton [(LeBaron), 1940–41] before - another car with classic lines - thanks for the post!
  7. Reminds me of the 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt (5 concepts produced, 4 still exist) - I strongly prefer the simple classic lines of the Thunderbolt. Link: https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z1900/chrysler-thunderbolt-concept.aspx
  8. Pictures help spark interest...
  9. Thanks Rusty, I edited post to reflect late 30's car. Best I can tell it has a C19 straight 8, 298.6 cu. in., 3 speed trans. w/ overdrive. Forgive my ignorance, but if the transmission is not engaged, are you saying it should be possible to pull the fan or fan belt and spin for a full rotation if the engine is not stuck? If it were my car, I'd get the mechanic for sure - essentially I'm trying to advise/assist someone who says they don't need help - hate to see them inadvertently cause any damage.
  10. Tried searching the forum for previous applicable threads - but not successful - if you can point me to one, all the better... Info vague on purpose to try not to publicly embarrass anyone potentially accessing this forum. The Chrysler has a late '30s straight 8 engine. The previous owner did not start the car for 8 years. The car was purchased by the current owner without attempting to start it. The car sat again in storage collecting dust for another 10 years (18 total). This owner passed away - family has no documentation or notes - no documentation as to any "reason" the car didn't run when current owner purchased it. Car presents well: good exterior, good interior and clean engine compartment. Nothing disassembled - looks like it "could" start. Potential buyers are hesitant to consider purchase without knowing if engine is stuck - they advise family to get the info - but, family is not car savvy - and they want to sell - so, they're setting out to test. They've been advised to not try and start and run the car - for obvious long term sitting reasons. They've been told to just see if the engine will turnover. Family's interpretation of this advice is to get a new battery and trying turning the key to see if the starter will turn the engine - not let it run, but just see if they can hear it turnover. [Family not inclined or mechanically minded to test turnover in other "manual" ways.] Primary Question: Could this test procedure harm the engine, or as long as it is not allowed to run, is this an "ok" quick check? If it turns, then buyers have some info, but not a lot. If it doesn't turn, then there's got to be a thread on this forum suggesting the best way to try and unstick the engine and eventually manually turn it to try and free it up. If you are aware of one of the better links to a similar situation on this forum - great! Thanks in advance.
  11. Appears to be a flip - first seller marked sold - it's a new seller on Facebook now
  12. Their website says: "This particular 1934 Packard Eight comes to us from a prominent Texas collector who owned this car and oversaw its restoration a number of years ago." ... and: "*Southern History"
  13. Looks like the paint scheme is consistent with the brochure
  14. So, black and yellow... any Michigan fans, Pittsburgh fans, Iowa Hawkeyes? Get a lot of attention at the tailgate parties
  15. The ad has NOT been removed --- use the most recent link I posted - or this one: https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/d/waxhaw-1930-reo-coupe-reduced/7718177529.html Only Reynard can edit his original post to update the link there.
