CHuDWaH, Thanks so much for this great info and pics. 👌 Do you know of any 38 coupes for sale? Thanks, Rick

Thanks, now I can see that. I thought they just lowered and moved back. Must be different lights altogether I guess. Can you tell me more about this. 38 Plymouth coupe is on my bucket list. Marlowe of couse 😉 ! Was the car in The Big Sleep early or later version? Does the owner of that coupe you posted be interested in selling it to me? Thanks Rick

Headlights were lowered and moved back. I believe this is the first version. Doesn’t appear that the stanchions could move forward or up on this car.

The body, below belt line, should be mallard green if original paint. Can’t tell for sure, but I don’t think this car is sporting original paint. Big question, is the engine in good shape. I think Ajax had seven main bearings. Would be an expensive Babbitt job. Does anyone here know this car? Radiator badge is wrong, Ajax hubcaps not there and near impossible to find. Looks to be very solid car with decent original upholstery. Interesting.

Was this car in CT in the 70s ?

So sorry to hear this. Rest In Peace

That banner is Fabulous! Good for you...😍

These kind of pics always get me “down deep”.

Almost can’t afford to stay alive.

After much rumination, I will take a polish job, and, new tires and battery.

You are correct, I was wrong. I should know better.

Not to argue.....however, as an opposite range, I believe that oranges are more “across” the color wheel to purples and blues to reds. P.S. I am dead wrong in my statement above. However I’m leaving it up as a monument to my senility.

Hey Ed, did all of A.J.’s ribbing cause you to blow a fuse? Noticed your latest avatar. Just wondering.

Booooo! Lol

Welcome to our friendly group. How nice that you have those photographs of your grandfather and his car. He looks to be very proud of it, and should be. Really nice. I’ll let the experts take your questions. I’m sure you receive some great information from them.

I notice that some installations have the “supply” going into the top of the canister and some into the bottom. What gives with that? Does it matter, or is it dictated by the type, make, of filter can? Thanks

NO

Too small

What the heck is that dang thing anyway?

“I'm still loving your beautiful old Chevy, Tex Riv 63! Requesting your advice on "preservation" school of thought (andanyone else who wishes to contribute ideas” I also have a car with an undercarriage in similar condition, that I want to preserve. I’m thinking about using a shop vac with a stiff brush attachment to remove most of the “rust dust”, then applying boiled linseed oil, cut with odorless mineral spirits or turpentine. I could apply by brush, rag, spray bottle or combination of all. Just thinking out loud. I’m looking for the voices of experience and sense to chime in.

That right there is a huge incentive to quit smoking and get some exercise 😬

Welcome Dan, I agree with Gary F, very nice car and color 🙂

I believe if I was your elderly friend, seeing pictures recording the process of bringing the car to life would be a tremendous source of pleasure.

Thanks David! That’s the answer for sure. I appreciate the ID and pics. This will be a good door for me to test and practice preservation on. It seems to have original paint. Trying to bring it up and preserve it is what I’ll be after. Thanks again for your time and effort. Rick

Accidents happen. Take it easy on yourself.
