I just saw a good driving "Plain Jane" Dodge Brothers touring of 1927 in near Identical shape in blue and black with a good top up, intact, but the car maybe 10% crummier dirty overall ,sell in 3 days for $8,000 . asking $9,800.

Curious,what type of fuel container do YOU use to fill the cups and do you carry that fuel filled container with you in the event the car sits to long and cools off too much requiring another fresh prime start? Some of these old cars can stand cold a day or even 3 without priming ,some need it after 3 or 5 hours . .

Atlas as I recall was the house brand of Chevron,Standard and Esso gas station/garages. There are various catalogs floating around on Ebay and Amazon at times. You will have to do more scouting . I use to do many auto swap meets and bought lots of stuff like you have but stopped ,they were hard to move and because most of the old books at that time were already scoffed up. I couldn't sell a dam NOS condenser in the box with numbers for $1.00 if I couldn't validate the application 100% Buyers do NOT know a part number or numbers(which vary with brand usually) of anything and will not go through 80 sets of NOS points to find a set for their 31 Dodge for $3.00.. So if you don't know exactly what you have your stuck. 1999 I tossed a pickup truck load of 1925 -1940 ignition stuff after flea market hauling and storing the junk for several years as the boxes rotted. Three NOS Mass and Conn dealers didn't want the junk for nothing,but If I brought it to them,they would pay my gas..LOL. If your not going in the vintage ignition business ,offer them to a specialty house for a just few bucks over what you paid ,but they maynot want to pay shipping on a small lot. This is my lame experiences.Gurrrr! Common Nos Sparks plugs are another story but not by much👼 .

Thinning the lie-barry of to ripe to save any longer junk crumbling paper. From " TRUE" The Man's Magazine. March 1949! Quite a lenghty artical. I'm trying to post each page. 6 in total. We'll see if it's legible.Maybe some can blow it up. Page 1.

2 monks walk into a bar.First one is tall wearing a yellow derby hat,tennis sneakers and carring a live rooster under one arm. The second monk is shorter and wearing pink sunglasses ,a blue cowboy boot on one foot and a women's red high heal shoe on the other .He is holding a trumpet in one hand and a lace bra in the other. They both step up to the bar and the bartender says" .... Oh! why go on,I'm sure you all have heard it before....best monk joke ever,right! One of my old mothers told it to me years ago.Sticks with ya.

In 50 years I've seen NORS also used by some seller\dealer as New Old Restored Stock. When a NOS part had some deterioration and the item had been cleaned up in some fashion. Like an unused taged fender that got surface rusty then cleaned up and reprimed or the same for a shackle set or gear that gets polished up to remove aged spots..

For Ben.P The 1927 70 sedans were 3 1.Brougham,cheaper of the three,is mine 2.Royal sedan 3.Crown sedan 1928 they droped the Brougham and added the Town sedan. Which had landau bars I don't know? Below is a period photo landau bar job of 1928.

That light blue color not for me even on an open car. The medium blue not bad on #2 phaeton ,but 2 shades darker on my sedan may be better for me. The thin dart stripe pointed on both ends I never saw before..Usually a Thin golf T ,open or closed seems more common or the bottons looped together. Looped is what my bomb had originally in White on blue spoke and body.

In total 5 hours per wheel isn't bad.

Hand cleaning at it's best

Only broad shots I have.

Old stripe seen..before scraping paint

Here is the car with the wheels on. And a few pics to follow

Great someone bought that car. It was 30 minutes from me,and I was stalling on checking it out since the ad was first listed. I knew I would of bought if I saw it if a few hundred were knocked off . .

I recall my mom insuring my 1936 $50 Dodge sedan when I was 13 for value of 900.$$ for like 45.00 a year in 1974 with J.C.Taylor . 1974 $900 bucks is like $4,500 bucks today.. I wonder if that was J.C.s min value limit in 74? Today that same car as bought in 1974 in needs restoring but driving and complete maybe would bring 2,000 to 3,000 on a real sunny day . Only guessing the most I'd pay. The 1974 $50. bucks today would be close to $265.00.. So $50.oo for a driving 36 Dodge was a pretty good in 1974 .

Gazelle brown essex of 1929

I had made a date for my pinstrip guy Charlie Decker to lay some lines in week or so , on the rehabilitated wood spoke wheels for the '27 Walter P.C.70. 4 door Bormide sedan. Not liking the original icky lighter shade of common blue body and wheels ,I chose to have clear varnish spokes to keep the project going though the winter (in the basement shop)and now have to come up a stripe color not knowing what color the car is will be eventually painted? Many stripes on basic cars of all colors can be some shade of off white,straw,light cream..but that may get lost a bit on the natural shade wood spokes,maybe? Black stripe or darts or golf tees \on the wood spokes isn't bad but it's a cop out here.LOL. plus I'm going radical and having the out rim circumference striped too and that can't be black. Shades of red or darker orange may not be bad and I think can go on most any body color. Lighter Green shades may do and looks cool on blacks and green cars but green body is out! I suspect the 1927 heap may very well be 1 Black in total or 2 Darker blue body upper and lower 3 Darker blue lower,black upper body 4 Maroon upper and lower 4 Maroon lower-black upper. There are various browns I like that are seldome seen today like Gazelle Brown on the Essex shown below. Gazelle Upper and lower body or just lower body as the other simple combos All with black fenders and aprons. Possibly with accent reveals and belt molding etc. Any color artist out there have suggestions? I'm sure Bandit,A.K.A.Charlie Decker can come up with the best color choices,he alway does but I like pretend I have a good clue.😜
