  1. I saw it here but probably a scam https://buysellsearch.com/view/vehicles/cars/120586920/r%2Fvehicles%2Fcars%2Fmk-cadillac%2Fyr-1935
  2. Facebook Marketplace link will not work for me.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 1910 Brush automobile, in the open corner entrance of an automobile sales business at 1911 or 1912 Ninth Street and Tacoma Avenue, Tacoma, Pierce County, WA, 1910. Image from the WA State Historical Society
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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

  13. Well, without the engine number or view of the speedometer in yours, I am pretty sure it is a CD 8 De Luxe Roadster. The De Luxe had the molding lines on the headlights like yours does and the Imperial. Of course, parts are hard to find now and someone may have put parts together but with 3 different models of the same car in the same year and a half. cars were originally made with parts on hand.
  14. The second 1931 Chrylser shown is an Imperial Eight(note the chrome on the front of the rear fender) and you could probably get any color you want.
  15. I can only go by what is on mine but there is no stamped number and 6 1/2" between centers on the bolts. That being said I have an original Chrysler Eight De Luxe Parts List but finding the original and correct parts is almost impossible.
  16. How to move a piano? The Bowen Piano Loader. Now, how do you get it in the house?
  17. Have a 41 Old's mobile It has a straight 8 cylinder Hydromatic transmission Runs good Has had work done on the engine from previous owner. Has new head gasket among other things? Good breaks been sitting for a while. Minimal rust for a car of this age. Needs interior But the body's really straight. 6 Volt system with new wiring. Has collector plates. Car can be driven home if you live close. Otherwise I would Trailer it Home haven't gone through for safety. Reasons been sitting for a while like I said. Moving Must sell soon. If the ads up, it's still available. Update due to overwhelming response for this car, I'll be showing it tomorrow. As received Thanks https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/808118340986637
