  2. I want one!! Just don't know where to put it so the neighbor kids won't find it. It may not be a phone or a computer but some of those kids sure know how to needle the old guy next door with all the unusual toys.

  3. On July 4, 1921, at 2:30 in the afternoon, the flag dropped starting the 10th annual Tacoma Speedway Classic. Nine drivers had entered the 250 mile race. It was driven on Tacoma's infamous board track and had a purse of $25,000, to be divided nine ways. On the right is the pace car, a Marmon Speedster, carrying referee Eddie Rickenbacker and pace maker Ray Harroun. The car would pace the drivers for one lap before the race actually took off. Rickenbacker was a former star of the race track and a famous ace of the air and Harroun was also a veteran driver. Harroun was a last minute replacement for Louis Chevrolet. The car on the left of the pace car is #6, the Duesenberg driven by Roscoe Sarles. Sarles had earned the pole position by driving at the top speed of 101 mph during the trials. The race was won by favorite Tommy Milton. Milton broke all speed records for distance with his average speed of 98 mph.

    Thanks for that info.  Am I mistaken in thinking that the CD series was still available in 1932?

     

    Technically there is the First version, Second version and the De Luxe which was still available and sold in 1932. According to Chrysler  after May of 1931 and serial Number 7,154,601  was a De Luxe  and designated as a 1932. They went to 17" wheels, straightened the frame and the bore was increased to 3- 1/4" and just under 100HP. They were meant to be Chrysler's competition to the Buick 80.

  5. Which engine? 1931/32 CD-8 came in 3 different varieties depending on month of production. Early 3 X 4 1/4 Bore and Stroke 3 1/8 X 4 1/4 and the Late De Luxe 3 1/4 X 4 1/4.  Manifold, carburetor and other difference apply to each incarnation.

  7. Up until 1928 90% of all phonographs were mechanically wound so no need for wiring. Table top unit could fit in the back seat, if you had one but, most were portable suitcase models to take to picnics, late night parking or dance parties...…

    Every major manufacturer made them and most had record storage.

     

    The records shown by supercub on his home record changer are from the early 1920's.

     

    Shown below is an Edison 1930 portable one of only 2 models he made.
