Thank you for your service! Past and present.

That's pretty nifty! 1959 cars were on the the road when I was a kid.in the 60s and 70s/and I don't recall those lamps at all.. .. But recall the flip up taillamps for gas of old Caddy hearses and flower cars in service and gasing up plain Jane 1937 Chevy rack trucks and the occasional 33 Dodge or someone's Aunt Martha's Model A 193O coach gasping it's last breadth getting gas.

t In my pre teens in the late 1960s I was a bit of a raconteur of the silent movies being from a show biz family. I ran copies of this on 16 and 35 MM original copy stock film from "Black hawk 'and "Castle Films" on crank projectors from relatives attics...for 25 cents a showing,with player piano accompaniment by my sister. What a throw back!. Buster( my favorite ,then Harold Lloyd then Chaplin )He wrecks the Pierce from pulling the motor out if his pet project Model T. I recall.it was not a Keaton made or Produced film. Earlier? .

This is old stuff. I help a guy restore a 1930 show car in the early 70s ,in a rented space warehouse with an outside wall. We rigged up an old oil furnace with built up walls with cheap wood,covered with plastic to make a cubicle . heated with drain oil. and anything gotten for free that would burn. I use to paint vintage cars and parts for extra money in the late 70s and 80s, with a wood burning pot belly railroad stove ,five feet from the junk or car ,in colder weather. The stove pipe and chimney would rumble like a freight train and flames would shoot out the chimney top .. .

I didn't go any farther then the heading. 3rd generation banjo player,starting at 6 years old...Thats living on the crazy edge? Everything else is pure vanilla .

A few years back these generator brush end plates where being made. Many pre 1927 year Chrysler six's had these white metal end plates. One fellow ,Brandon Creek was making them in 2014,so this is older info tip. (Deeprivercustomframes@embarkmail.com) Another mentioned source to try In that same period of 2014, Advanced Electrical Rebuilders 866-228-0218 Jason@aerrebuild.com 16574 S.Bauer Rd. Grand ledge,Mi 48837. The model 72 is generally after 1927,like 1928. 1927 are mostly series G70 I believe and G70 "Finer". Your dash plate serial number will tell you Its in a code of what you really have.You can ask about that later.

None! It all sucks! Restoration repair in 47 years have only been a means of a poor twisted misguided dope to be able to experience to drive some obsolete car,I could not afford to buy from another jerk ,in good condition.

Swifty Dave ,I love you! But you gave up too soon!

Not Ford,(no/rod dip pan), pan too long for a 4 banger compared to piston size.

We talked weekly for 2 years,from the start of him making the second wheel puller for me just few years back. Life lessons,family ,love,hate,religion ,tolerance and cars on the list of topics. Good talker and good listener. Interesting thoughtful old gent. Loved his wife.

O.K. I'll play this game Swifty Davey has started, "What's Wrong with this?". But I go farther ,what car and cause? Don't know? I'll tell you.

Buy a nice original Buick to restore, paint it in and out and under,do mechanical and metal work repairs an restore,as needed upholster,and plate and see what it costs? Even doing all but machine work yourself.Not a bad value here if you looking to drive(Enjoy) and preserve a car like this for many years.

What’s wrong with this piston, duh Point of the post ,I'm missing So what?

I’m on an IPad cuz ,my phone hates The aaca app,doesn’t like this app, Whats the point here, a mangle, piston pic. so what.

I called the guy..... For get it ,$27,ooo. I expected $12 to 14, asking. Boy I’m So dumb 🤥, nice to see..make a good every day car or all weekend car, even to the airport.

Please excuse typos. Here is a gem,a few blocks away from me in middle Waterbury Connecticut. A 1953 Mercury...with current NY reg.and inspection. Slight rust on the bullet bumper tits,some minor scuffs on one rear fender paint. Inside looks clean with original hardware against.,correct clean newer upholstery. Tires good. Manual trans( non sexual implication)is a plus Buff,wax polish ,grease,oil,every day looking beater. Appears like a seven year old car on the out side. . .

Peter,you are absolutely the most positive person out there.I love you!

The Ajax brand was dropped in 1926. And rebranded to Nash light six.YOu should research to find out how long that Nash.- Ajax engine was used with the Nash name and specs and may help you find that gear. You have to search for real businesss that deal in NOS engine parts and make real inquires. Here is one. N.B Pease & Company. Palmer , Mass 43 Foundry Street, Mass . 01069 413 283 7620 ph. I have gotten, Essex, Hupmobile ,Star, A and T Ford mechanical bits,, plus 30s 40s Dodge and Chrysler mechanicals there, since 1973. If Nelson had NOS axles for our 28 Whippet in 1990s, a carb for our 29 Essex ,Valves for our 1932 Nash and our 23 Star Durant,,, plus head gaskets....on and on...He maybe worth a shot, for this timing wheel.

Oh well..it's been a hoot.. I have no energy to fight this failed moodern technology and my nonsense is nothing to be missed. So I will say my farewells for as long as this phone lasts. I will only continue to post various bits of junk for sale, till that struggle bothers me too much.

I'm late to this party..Torrington Connecuicut Company?
