There are lots of young working mechanics that don't know how to time distributer or set points, let alone tune a carb! If you carry the tools and spare parts you have better chance of getting a vintage system going but it may not always be the case. Knowledge and parts availability is swinging in favor of EFI, I'm still holding out but there my come a day....

What a great resource! Thanks for for taking the time to share this information.

You could try Northfieldltd.com they list Lincoln running board rubber starting with 1932

SCORE! wish it was going to my garage!

sorry meant to attach a picture of what I was referring to

I painted cars professionally for 20 so I have stripped a lot of cars and my preference would be an 8" random orbital sander starting with 40 grit to remove the outer layers and then switch to 80 grit when you hit metal. These sanders work well on delicate surfaces because the pad turns relatively slow and oscillates so it reduces heat buildup and does not dig in like a sander or grinder will. You must hold the pad as flat to the work as possible just favoring pressure to one side but they are easy to control. Be sure to keep clean sharp sandpaper on at all times to reduce heat buildup. A variation on this would be to use paint stripper first to get the majority of the paint off first but this is a messy job and would be a best option on something with a lot of paint jobs stacked up. On a disassembled car ( meaning no trim or glass) you should be able to strip the whole car in a day or two.

I know Airflows and Nash had skirts in the early 30's, was that originated buy the OEM's or picked up from the aftermarket / customizers?

So when was the first use of fender skirts? ( factory or aftermarket) so as not to hijack this thread I'll start a new one

I'm sure those skirts on the 34 are a bit polarizing but I like um!

I googled some images-looks like there were different grills depending on the model, I don't remember ever seeing this one - good call thanks again

Thanks, Is that an aftermarket grill or Canadian manufactured? I don't recognize it.

Sorry for the poor quality photograph, It's all I have. this is a picture of my mother and grandfather taken in the mid 30's in Winnipeg. I don't recognize the tapered grill shell - maybe an aftermarket cold weather accessory? year and make of car? Thanks for looking!

Time to revive a cool thread - 1933 Lincoln 255, 52 built this one owned by the founder of bank of America
