    It is definitely interesting, and that was an offer not a comment. If you want a lot of information that you are looking for send me a check.

    Did you have any other books and/or literature as well? Thanks

    Sandow, I know of a 1915 Sandow 1-1/2 ton truck that is for sale in California at a reasonable price.  Are you a fan of the strong man?

    Cool of you to notice, Eugene Sandow...

    Had potentially heard of the truck and/or possibly contacted them, though if you could pass along there contact info that may be cool...thanks

    Sandow, here are a few "potentially" useful things to consider...

     

    1. When asked about your daily driver, you mentioned you are "Looking to potentially make this vehicle my First Car". Be aware that no insurance company will insure your antique car unless you also have a modern daily driver in your name. Besides the obvious fact that having a 100-year-old antique as your only vehicle is a bad idea in general, it's just not going to happen legally. 

     

    2. We don't know your financial and living situation, but if you're like most teenagers, you are still dependent on your parents and don't have nearly as much disposable income as you will need to maintain an antique car properly. And even if you do, an old car shouldn't be your priority. At 18, you should be thinking about girls, college and starting a career.

     

    3. Don't start out by looking for an ideal situation of a long-term owned, inexpensive car. That's not likely to happen. And even when it does - like when you're offered a just about perfectly suitable Model T in Canada above - you will not be ready to act on it. Instead, start out by gaining experience in the hobby, actively participating in clubs and events, making contacts and saving money. So that by the time the right car comes along, you'll truly be ready to buy it immediately. Success is preparation meeting opportunity.

     

    It's great that you have a serious interest in antique cars. But you need to slow down a bit and prepare yourself for antique car ownership. Buy a modern car and become a more experienced driver.  Get your career going and become more financially secure. Get in a living situation where you have a dedicated garage to store your antique and your family and/or significant other are totally onboard. Get involved in the hobby. You can start by taking Ed above up on his offer - visit him and drive some cars! In the meantime, keep looking. At some point you will just fall in love with a particular car, and its price and ownership history won't matter anyway. It will likely not even be a car you ever though you would have wanted, but you'll know when it's the right one. 

     

    PS. You mentioned you are also looking for literature. PM me. I have a whole bunch of old car books I can sell you cheap. Also some old car magazines yours free if you just pay shipping. 

    Thanks, have PM'd you...Thanks

    I have a few early wiring books also. One is a Remy Book. Diagrams are 1916-1920 on vehicles with the Remy system. The other is a Delco Book. Diagrams starts in 1910 for Cadillac. Buick 1914 and 1915. About 15 makes that cover vehicles that used the Delco system in all covered. Tell me the make and model if you have a car with these systems and I will look it up and post if I have it. I have offered this in the past on this forum. Larry jogged my memory.

    I have a Reed Service Manual which has wiring diagrams from just about every car from 1914 - 1922. If anyone needs wiring diagrams, I would be willing to provide them also.

    Sandlow, it would help to know exactly where you are in FL.  It's over a 12-hour drive from the Keys to Pensacola...that's a lot of ground to cover.  The FL car touring and show season is starting to wind down.  Most car-related activity in FL is from October to April.  You missed the boat about a month ago when AACA held their Winter Nationals in Melbourne.  If I remember correctly, there were 227 cars, including quite a few pre-war cars, as well as a few brass cars.  AACA's spring show was in Vero Beach last weekend.  Most likely some of the same cars there, although I wasn't able to attend as I was at the joint FL Region CCCA & FL Packard Club tour in Ocala, where we had 24 Full Classics and Packards on tour for 5 days.  The south FL All British Show was several weeks ago in Pompano Beach.  And 2 weeks ago was the annual Knox Village Car Show, again in Pompano Beach.

     

    Tomorrow is a Jaguar Concours show in Lake Mary.  I'll be there.

    https://www.jaguarclubfl.com/2022ConcoursFlyer_flyer.pdf

     

    Next Saturday is the All British Show in Sanford.  I'll be there.

    https://www.allbritishcarclub.com/annual-car-show

     

    16 April is the Wheels Across the Pond show in Jupiter, FL.  There's over 350 European cars and motorcycles registered, with some dating back to the 1920s and 1930s.  You can see the registration list at the below link.  I'll be there as well.

    http://www.wheelsacrossthepond.com/

     

    The Panhandle British Car Club is holding a show 22-23 April in Pensacola.  That's an 8-hour drive for me each way, so not sure if I'll go to that one.  If you're interested, you can look it up on-line.

     

    I realize these are not all 'pre-1916' car events, but for someone just looking and NOT wanting to kick tires, they're a good place to check out some older cars.  If you are able to attend any of the above, come talk to me.  I'll not be hard to find, with my silver over black 1947 Jaguar.  George

     

     

    Thanks for the info...
