What model is it? Would it be possible to post a picture of it here?

Dynaflash-<BR>You don't have to be 18. The College offers Interterm courses that are open to the public. You can attend them for 1, 2, or 3 weeks during January. They offer a class in Body Shop, Mechanical Restoration, or Interior/Trim. I went back after I graduated and took the last of the three. My two years there was time very well spent, in my opinion. It was a very good program while I was there, and it has only gotten better since then.

It is definately a Maxwell, probably a 1911, because it appears to have front doors. A Model I, four cylinder-25 hp, I think. The model is a guess, I don't have my literature in front of me.

There are several schools that offer Antique Auto Restoration courses. There is also one that offers an Associate Degree (2 year). That is McPherson College, in McPherson, Kansas. I graduated from there in 1996. I am sure there are other graduates online here. I (or we) would like to help, what would you like to know? I hope this does help, Chris Paulsen, Allendale, NJ

Great photos! I believe picture 2 and 3 are of a 1913 Studebaker Model 25. It was a 4 cylinder, 5 passenger Touring car. <BR>I don't know about picture 1, and I will have to let you know about picture 3. <BR>Hope this helps, Chris<BR>

I agree it is a 1915 Studebaker. We have two 1913 Buicks in our family, and I feel it is definately not a Buick.

Justa quick note of reference. Olds did celebrate its centennial, in 1997. I was there with our 1902 Curved Dash. It was great. As far as GM, Ransom E. Olds, left to form REO, before Oldsmobile joined General Motors. As all have said, Oldsmobile will be missed.

It is a White. My guess is probably a 1912-1914, and probably 6 cylinder. Hope this helps, Chris

To me this sounds like the award is given to the owner, not the car. I know people that have bought and sold previous winners and they just left the badges on the car. I always thought this was to show that the car was or is an authentic example. It sounds, to me, that the badge is based on the fact that the owner had enough talent or money to properly restore the particular vehicle. Am I completely wrong in my thinking?

Could you provide more info.? Pictures would also be helpful. What serial number is it? 1901's are quite rare. How long since it ran? Was it an AACA prize winner? I have restored 2 Curved Dash Oldsmobiles and worked on several more. I think I can help with more information. Feel free to email me directly. Chris Paulsen.<BR>email: cp7254@hotmail.com<BR>

I have been reading the posts about the younger generation. I consider myself a member of the younger generation, I am 27 years old. Many of the posts mention costs. Not only of the auto itself, but also the cost of attending shows. <P>I have a 1914 Model T Ford. I built it when I was in high school. Most of the parts came from the "old timers" in the club. Model T's of the 20's are less expensive than many cars of the 1950's and 60's. I sold a running 1920 Model T for $2000 a year ago. New parts are readily available through several catalogs. Though not always fast cars, they are very reliable. Mine will cruise at 40 MPH, which makes it very practical for travel on back roads. <P>No matter what the condition, a Model T will always draw a crowd at a show. It may even win a prize (if that is your "thing"), depending on the number of cars in the class. Another low-cost advantage to a Model T is that many local shows let early cars in for free.<P><BR>

Does anyone know when International made the models D-35, DS-35, D-40, and DS-40? Thanks, Chris Paulsen

I am looking for a pair of adjustable headlight forks. They are going on a 1907 Cadillac, but most any will fit. I have the lamps, and the mounting brackets, but I need the forks. Please email if you can help. Thanks, Chris Paulsen<BR>cp7254@hotmail.com<BR>

Model T Ford is 1-2-4-3. I am sure others are also, but I have not encountered any yet.

1-3-4-2 is definately right. That is what it is on my 1913 Model 25 & 30. Good luck with yours. Chris

It is probably off a Star (of all things). They were built from 1922-1928. I know they had a star on the hub caps, and the size seems right.

Sorry, I could not find any articles for you.

For Sale: Antique Automobile Magazines - Official AACA Publication. 1969-present. <BR>$.50 cents each, plus postage. I will sell one or a lot. I have several copies of most. Please email want lists. Thanks, Chris Paulsen, Allendale, NJ <P>

What body style is your car? I have a 1913 Model 25 (touring) and 30 (roadster). On both of my cars, there is red rubber hose at the ends. There is a 1 foot long piece leading to the headlights, and a piece about 6 inches long from the copper tubing that goes through the splash apron to the Prestolite tank. I am not sure if yours is the same, but I hope this helps. Chris<P>

The serial is on the left rear crankcase arm. My Model 25 is #18184-2. The frame # is 10977 (tag on left front frame horn, under headlight). The blocks also have a date cast in them. They are MR 6 and MR 18. They can be found just above the part number (15792). The numbers don't match on my 1913 Model 30 either. Both cars were good originals. I hope this helps. Email me if I can help more, Chris

I have a 1913 Model 30 Buick and the serial number is on the left rear crankcase arm. We (my family) also have a Model 25. It is at my father's house. I will look for the serial number tomorrow and post it then.

I took my 1914 Model T in a couple parades, both with our local AACA Region. I had three people comment that I must love taking my car in parades. I told them I really didn't. Then they said, "Oh, is it just for show?". I tried to explain that it is a tour car, and I enjoy driving it more than anything else. I don't think any one of them understood.
