Bully for the man from Texas ! (Mattie Ross, True Grit.) Thanks, CD

Does anybody know what size white walls would have been an option for the stock 7.60 X 15 tires on a '60 Invicta? Also, it specifies a 5.5 X 15 "L" wheel as stock("K" optional.) What does the letter signify? Thanks in advance, CD

Rodney (AKA Mate): The guy is the video is the one who disconnected the rear cigar lighter. Good point! Thanks, CD

BTW; it appears that there is a decent (i.e., has a hollow float) sender available for '61-64 Buicks on Ebay. Anybody know if this would fit a '60 gas tank? Asking for an adversary (ha ha!)

Funny; they are accurate enough to have secret police stations in NYC. However, most all Buicks are here in the USA.So there's that.....

All: I just installed the "Mobilemitter" from Resto Radio in my '60. It appears to work ;however, you need to fiddle with the volume on your streaming device/CD/MP3 player and the radio's volume,as it seems to overmodulate(i.e., distort) the sound somewhat. Installation is pretty straightforward; I spliced into the glove box light for my 12V source,as this is where I also put the small approx. 1"x1" bluetooth transmitter and my CD player; the 4'x2"x2.5 inch box I installed under the fascia below the glove compartment. As it was super light, I secured it with a zip tie. I also bought the FM transmitter option; I'll try that tomorrow. CD

All: Support for this has been great; much better than I expected; many thanks to all. Here is a picture of "Guido."

I have a 1960 Invicta in what I think is wonderful unrestored shape. I would like to enter it in the original unrestored class at Hershey. Is this possible? The AACA judging guidebook reads like stereo instructions; likewise, much of the chatter I've seen is equally as confusing! Awaiting attacks by people in the know.... Thanks in advance, CD

All: This just happened to my '60 Invicta (If interested,see my post on heater box disassembly on this site.) IMHO, that heater box removal was anything but easy; but then this was my first time! I bought a NOS non-Ranco valve (Everhot) on Ebay. Before I put it back in the car, I had my radiator guy test the valve in place with the core. All okay. For now,at least.... Guy at Smitty's (Landover, Md.) said he can rebuild some valves, but he said he could not rebuild this Harrison, because he couldn't get the plunger. Well. if this one goes prematurely ,at least I'm an old hand at heater box removal! CD

I bought one of these on Ebay; will let everybody know how it works.

Lee: Great idea, thanks. The only drawback is the size. I'm going to contact them and get the dimensions. CD

I am considering putting Bluetooth in my Invicta. However, I don't want to hog up my prefectly working radio. I'm looking for a 1960 Sonomatic (Mdl # 980051), but previous/later ones may work too. Anybody have one? Thanks, CD, Potomac, Md.

Just had my broker lower to 16K.

Selling my '40 Super. Nice repaint; French-English/Luddington green. I redid the front seat; has rust in both front boxes (not structural.) Some chrome redone. I have it FS @18K on CL, but will consider reasonable offers. I also have a '40 RM Sport coupe, and just acquired a '60 Invicta Sedan, so this one needs to go. Charlie Drake, Potomac, Md.
