Beautiful and drool-worthy but too high priced even to dream.

I saw it here but probably a scam https://buysellsearch.com/view/vehicles/cars/120586920/r%2Fvehicles%2Fcars%2Fmk-cadillac%2Fyr-1935

Facebook Marketplace link will not work for me.

Pot metal was not only an automotive problem. Any mechanical items that were mass-produced from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s contained pot metal and failure is expected. I run across it radios, clocks, piano actions, statuary, phonographs (especially reproducers), electrical switches and knobs, and elbows and nipples for vacuum lines. Swelling and cracking are obvious but often while looking good it will disintegrate with any usage. When I was young ( in my mid-60s now) the oldtimers always said the fresh batch of metal they made on Monday made a good product but by the end of the week after constantly being reheated with the sprues and leftover metal being tossed in, you were lucky to get a year. I hate the stuff but it seems to be part of all my restoration projects.

Mr. Watling of Turlock CA, passed away on June 30, 2023. The restoration and enjoyment of old cars was a major interest. He belonged to both the Franklin Automobile Club and the Packards International Motor Car Club.

As much as it sounds like I need a treatment center, my handle goes back to when I started restoring jukeboxes in the 1970s. By the time email became a thing it was natural to use the moniker given to me by others as an address. By then I had 25 fully restored machines from the 30s to the first stereo ones in 1959. I am down to 5 jukeboxes now but slipped back further in time and have nickelodeons, reproducing piano, and early radio/phonograph players It wasn't worth changing my first handle.

You have nothing for sale in this post and I find this complaint a little strange. On this page of 40 listings, 18 are under $10,000. Yes, I have posted listings here that I find interesting or of good value but there is NO way to dictate what cars are available at any given time. I have to note some truly grievously priced listings are posted for amusement or to show hideous restoration practices but that is for fun. My interest is in prewar vehicles and I do not expect to find complete running vehicles under $10,000. If there were only 1960 or newer vehicles in your price range I would not follow this link. Be grateful for those who take the time and effort to post a vehicle here and am sorry that there is nothing that suits your interest or price range. Maybe you should consult with the moderators to add a different category that you are interested in.

I love the vinyl shelf paper running board covers.

Hard to tell my first guess was Edith Kelly Gould who was married to Jay Gould the Industrialist's son. But Anna Held seems a better choice.

I grew up with the Buchan kids and their trucks all over Tacoma WA. Only post-war ones though. Images from https://www.buchansbread.com/ F

The color reminds me of Campbells' tomato soup.

The tires and rims are a good match for his popcorn wagon. Picture 10
