  1. Thank you for that, Wayne! I now understand the difference between the three types of nuts. Jeff
  2. Does the term "marsden nut" apply to either a slotted or castle nut? Or is that another type of nut altogether?
  3. A Napa Pro Select 22055 air filter fits in the housing in place of the wire mesh assembly. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SFI22055 HTH, Jeff

  5. In the White Field, 20 or so years ago, I ran across a gentleman with a booth full of Cadillac parts. Sitting on the table was a COMPLETE rear compartment factory radio setup for 1941 - 1949 Cadillac 67 and 75 series cars. I asked him how much he was asking for it: "$100 and don't you dare try to talk me down!" I couldn't get the money out of my wallet fast enough. It's now in the back of my 1942 series 75. Jeff
  6. Interesting video on what it takes to restore a late V-16 grill. Apologies if this is a repeat:
  7. Crawling under a 5000 lb Cadillac with only a bottle jack holding it up....
  8. In looking at my 1949 Trico book, KSB-385 (passenger side) and KSB-386 (driver's side) are original equipment motors for 1938 Dodge closed cars and commercial cab trucks as well as 1938 Plymouth closed cars and pickup and light delivery trucks. The book lists KSB-346 (driver's side) and KSB-345 (passenger side) for 1936 C-8 convertibles. For universal replacements, the book indicates the following for the the 345 and 346 numbers: Driver's side (to replace KSB-346), use motor KSB-600 Passenger side (to replace KSB-345), use motor KSB-600-1 Hope this is helpful.

  9. This is from a blast email of the Valley Forge (Philadelphia, PA) Region of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club. Posting here in hopes of finding this car a new owner... Hi All, I am sending this in hopes someone will know someone who will buy this car before it gets scrapped. It is a 1946 series 75 with divider window. The car is 95% complete or better and in primer. I haven't inventoried all the trim but it is all there, I don't know how much has been replated. The car has NO rust and never did. Garaged kept all it's life until last week. The engine runs strong and auto trans works good. Has been in storage for 10 years waiting to be finished. Would like to get $ 8,000. Will consider all offers. MUST SELL. Car is located in northeast Philadelphia, PA. Jack Hotz jackscaddy@aol.com 856-287-0912
  10. The GM Heritage Center has all of the Cadillac build sheets from 1903 to 1970 (with the exception of 1968) and for all LaSalles - so the data is there. The fact that the available numbers for 1937 Cadillacs are not broken down within series probably means nobody has done the research. Cadillac body style production numbers for some other years are available. Body style production numbers for all LaSalles were published in LaSalle - Cadillac's Companion Car.
  11. There were two articles about this car in Special Interest Autos back in the 90s. You can read the articles online on Hemmings' website: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2012/04/22/sia-flashback-found-the-real-lost-cord-part-1 https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2012/04/29/sia-flashback-found-the-real-lost-cord-part-2
  12. The cigarette lighter and the other plastic piece look like those found at the bottom of 1939 Cadillac and LaSalle dashboards. Any chance of getting a photo of the wording on the plastic? Do they both say, "Lighter"? Jeff
  13. The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles in Pennsylvania has a couple of Daniels cars. Perhaps they could be of assistance to you? https://boyertownmuseum.org/ Jeff
  14. I, too, enjoy the How to Restore ANTIQUE and CLASSIC CARS book. Discovered it in my grandparents house in the mid-70s when I was about 13 and been hooked on it ever since. I have two copies - just because. One thing that interests me about the book's contents (other than the cars) is comparing the accepted practices at the time with what we know today. Example: the use of benzene or carbon tetrachloride as a cleaning agent. Great book for sure! Jeff
