"Not Mine" for high rollers only?
Crusty Trucker replied to 7th Son's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Sorry, but in my neck of the woods, $1,500 has become the new $15,000. What I used to sell for around $2000 in past years, people are asking many multiples for today. Unless you are thinking of brass or really early cars, which I don't follow, I don't see much in the way of deflation - despite the aging and thinning of current owners. '60's through '80's appear strong, followed by '40's and then '30's. Most '90's have not reached their peak and many of them may be of little interest to collectors anyway. I admit high-buck car prices of the recent past - not including the ridiculous auction offerings that the elite play with - may be in decline, but so has disposable income for most of us in the 99% as living expenses climb. -

Hey, Dave, there's a section of the forum for old photographs called "Photos and Videos" and would be a much better place for this and similar contributions. Thanks for your posts, but I think they'd get more attention posted in the right forum section.

Unless you have some sentimental reason to want this Plymouth, I can't see that most people who want to drive an older car would be attracted to a drab, low powered 4-door sedan. I'm sure a brighter color would have attracted more interest despite it's mundane appearance, not that the owner would do any changes. Ho-hum cars usually go to ho-hum buyers or the price is reduced to the point some flipper is attracted and thinks there's a profit to be made. Maybe this is a flip from a $1500 estate sale.

Is this interesting enameled badge automotive?
Crusty Trucker replied to lump's topic in What is it?
A similar one is listed on the etsy auction site. No details - just says "British". Probably fell off some fancy dude at a polo match or fox hunt. Big bucks - $18.00 + $6.50 shipping. https://www.etsy.com/listing/954307034/british-badge-medal-crest-vintage-1980s -
Does not appear to be automotive. Did your relative have any portable industrial or agricultural equipment or trailers? Might check behind the barn. Could be a local retailer's logo since it is a stick on label. Golf cart, ATV?

Here's an example of what appears to be an older building updated with electricity and indoor plumbing. Even as a kid in the '50's I recall exposed wiring and water or sewer pipes added to buildings that were built long before either were invented. A single light bulb hanging from a cord dropped from the ceiling and switched by a pull-chain was not uncommon. No doubt examples exist today.

1960 Chrysler 300, not mine.

Doesn't this car sit quite high compared to others? ...new springs? -
Anyone know who this Buick guy might be?
Crusty Trucker replied to Steve Moskowitz's topic in General Discussion
I'm sure you realize that the car and the man would be around 50 years older by now. I don't know if I'd recognize myself in a 50 year old photo. I think we all had long hair and mustashes back then. Good luck with your quest. -
The Acadian, acknowledged as a separate brand, not sold as a Pontiac, offered models in three series, Beaumont Sport Deluxe (2-door hardtop and convertible only), the Beaumont Custom series (full line), and the base Beaumont series. That relates respectively to the Chevelle SS series, the Malibu series, and the 300 series. I cannot find references to an Acadian Beaumont similar to either a 2-door wagon or the El Camino, so I presume they were not offered in 1964. Maybe someone can correct me. The Chevy II/Nova based Acadians, Casino and Invader, are a whole " 'nother can of worms". The subject car is presumed to be an Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe due to the quarter panel emblem and its lack of side trim.
