Hi ! Grrrrrreat !!!!! Thank you ! Greetings Tom

Hi Don, I know that in Germany are at least 3 Clement Bayard around. If you are interested I may can find out the owners. It is a white, a green and a blue one. Don't know the yaers at the moment. Greetings Tom

Ahhh, very interesting site. Do they have a forum ? Can't find it there. Well, actually Opel is known for smaller to midsize cars. They had nice cars in the 30s like the 1,8 Liter 6 Cylinder. But hey had also luxury cars at the end of the 30s like the "Admiral" with a larger 6 cylinder. This engine was actually a Chevrolet engine. At the end of the 60s, beginning 70s there was the last V 8 Opel, the Diplomat. It had the 327 Chevy engine with hydraulic valve lifters. The Diplomat A had the 286 Chevy engine. But the real big Opel was the Regent. Regards Tom

Hello you all. I am still trying to find out if there is one car left of the 1928 Opel Regent 24/110. It was a large 8 Zylinder car with 110 HP. See a photo here : http://www.graf-vlad.de/regent.html The story says that Opel had to buy all 25 cars back from the owners since Opel became a GM divison in 1928 and Cadillac was afraid to sell less cars when the Regent is on the market. Who knows more about this history of the Regent ? Regards Tom

Hello ! Where can I find a new blower motor for the firewall heater and for the under seat heater of my 1955 Buick ? Thanks for your help. Regards Tom

Thank you, Pete.

Hello you all. Is the car on the attached photo a Stutz ? What model / year ? Thanks for your help. Tom

Hello ! But Stutz had not the bow between the headlights. This part was straigth, or ? Radiator mask look like the same as Stutz. Found Stutz on the net with fender lights from 1928... Tom

Hi Pete, do he need also a different brake pedal system ? I needed it at my 1955 Buick as I converted it to manual brake. Thanks. Tom

Hello ! I need a little help : From a friend I got a photo from his family album. Who can say me what Make, Year and Model the car on the photo is? See attachment... Thanks for your help. Kind regards Tom

Hello ! A friend of me owns a 1957 Buick with manual brakes and he want to convert it to a power brake system. What for parts does he need and can he use also parts from, for example, Oldsmobile or so ? Does he need all 1957 parts or could he use also 1958 parts ? Thanks for your answers and help. Kind regards Tom

Hi Dave, a stock Model A should run max ca. 62 mph. It should be possible to make it faster with an overdrive, Brumfield head and so on. But : There is a risk to drive it faster as it actually was. Your father should think about the brakes, suspension and so on. And : The engine is not good for a long time maximum speed driving. It has just 3 main bearings. We drive our Model As not faster that max 50 mph. Our Roadster runs near 60 mph but we don't like this driving speed. Around 45 is nice. Kind regards Tom

Hi ! Nice club, I am a member of it... <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Greetings Tom

Hi Chris, better it takes a loooooong time to get answers as no answers... <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yes, nice cars but I have problems with the ignition. Need new distributor cap, rotor and contacts. Very rare and expensive... The last thing was to get valve springs but found a company in Beloit which made a set for me. Greetings Tom

Hello ! Thanks for your answers. As I wrote the question ( in 1999 ) I thought that there are just 20 cars around but in the meantime I know that there are more around as the roster of the HCCA shows aince I had contact with owners of a 1912 which were not members of the HCCA. Kind regards Tom

Hi ! From my girlfriend I got a great book : Those wonderful old automobiles by Floyd Clymer. It is from 1953 and there are a lot of photos, facts, jokes, cartoons, ads and much more in it about the cars in USA up to the 30s. Also a calendar with old Cadillac car ads from the 50s. All "glamour" ads... Regrads Tom

Hi Hal, we don't need a gluehwein recipe.... we buy it ready to drink in bottles. Greetings Tom

Hello you all. Thanks for the kind greetings and nice that you still know me. Well, furniture business is a hard business these days. But Maddy and me we are ok, have still fun driving Betsy and Mary ( 1955 Buick and 1912 Cadillac ). But the Cadillac has still ignition problems, I need a new rotor and cap. Some of my fathers cars are now not running but I had no time to repair them. We have just Sundays as freetime and no holidays. We will work on it to get more time for the hobby like my father. He has no longer his store and have now more time with his 61 years to drive old cars. Kind regards Tom

Hello you all ! I don't know if someone will remember me... but just would like to say "hello" and that I am still in the old car hobby but I am very short in time since I own a large furniture store. This takes a lot of time. My girlfriend Madeleine (Maddy Olds) is since some days also around here. I missed Hershey again... no time. Hope to make it next year or in 2005. Many greetings from Germany Tom
