How about the word RARE ?

I have a windshiels frame. Is this what you need? It is aprox 38 wide. See attachement. I have more pictures if needed. Dan

West, Try the AACA Library.

Steve, Are those Delco-Lovejoy shocks like on the 30 Chevy? Dan

What about the over use of the word RARE ?

West, The wood grain on my 30 Chevy was not decals, it was paint and then laqured over to get the finish. Dan

Gray Rider Contact BIll Schoening, Al Eichelberger or Peter Garaphy. All live in the Tucson area and would be able to help you with the answers you need. They also belong to the Tucson Region of AACA and would be more than happy to help get you into the local club. The Tucon Region would be a good group to belong to. Dan

The problem we had when Hoover was wearing the orange gloves was that we had to keep telling him your other left. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> That also happened in Frederick, MD on a tour with someone else , in a Model T. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Terry, With the hand signals - - -I drive with a bright hunter orange glove on my left hand. The folks behind me may not know that I am signaling, but they do relize that sometyhing is going on. I have an orange glove in all of my cars that don't have turn signals. You should try signaling in a right hand car. That is another experance. The pasenger gets to ware the orange glove then. Dan

You might go to the Bakersfield swap meet next month. That is a pre 1942 swap meet and there will be brass lights there.

3Jakes What has been said here is correct, but there is another side to ACA. Almost all what has been said here is about National Meets and Judging. Those are only a part of the AACA. National meets are great, but if it wern't for the local clubs there would be no national meets and judging. Check out the local clubs and find out what the grass roots are all about in AACA. They do a lot more than just judge cars. Dan

Dave, Get involved with the Rocky Mountain Region of AACA there in Denver. Brighton has an active group also. They have some really nice people. There is an AACA region In Ft. Collins that is good also. The Region in Ft. Collins is hosting a tour the 1 - 3rd of June in Ft. Collins that you might enjoy. That would be a great place to meet others in your area that belong to AACA. Dan

Looks like a Maxwell

West, Why do they call a Model T Ford or any of the early open cars a touring? Most are not a seven passenger.

Hal, Yea, he told me to buy 100 sheets of 320 grit paper for a project I was doing. A few days later I told him that things were in worse shape than when I had started sanding. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I then told him that I had bought 320 sheets of 100 grit paper and I thought he was going to have a problem. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Now about the brass polish, well I do have enough for a couple of years. Dan

Steve, Being Contrary comes with not living in the east, <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> besides Wright's was recomended by a professional restorer that you and I both know. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> He swears by it.

The Army used that vehicle and they called it a M-38. The hard cover was used on some of them when they were in cold weather areas.

I use Wright's Brass polish for the brass on my car. I have found that for me it is better than Brasso. I use a soft toothbrush where needed.

Don't laugh, but have you tried J.C. Whitney? They have a lot of paterns fron years gone by.

Another museum that has some great vehicles as well as aircraft is the Owls Head Museum in Maine. That was one of the best museums I have seen. The vehicles are well restored and displayed. It is outstanding. My son went there for one of the days when they had the aircraft out and flying and the cars out. He couldn't say enough about it. The New England Air Museum sounds like it is a grat one also.

Paul, I had the same problem. I used a choke cable and it worked fine. Don't get into trouble with yours like I did with mine. 2:00 AM is not the time to use one of those <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Dan

Ted, I don't know where you get you information. I live in Wyoming, but I know of at least 6 antique car museums in Colorado, 3 in Nebraska, 3 in South Dakoda. I know I have been to at least 5 or 6 in PA when on national tours. Right there that is more than a dozen. OK folks, how many are there in your area ?

Fred, I am sure you are right about the stripes. I have never seen them with 5 stripes. The side curtains will be the same material as the top. The reason they looked darker is because they were not faided like the top.

Doug, I don't know of any car museums that offer free admission to folks driving old cars but there have been a few that have given reduced admission, which is still better than paying full price. I have run in to some museums in small towns that have given free admission and they were real happy to have the old car folks stop. I think it would be a great idea to do that with car museums. It just might get more folks driving the old cars. After all, cars were made to be driven, wern't they? Remember that "Touring Is Not A Specator Sport" Dan

My thought is 1914 or 1915 Overland
