What is your favorite old car related destination/event?
Terry Bond replied to CChinn's topic in General Discussion
Hershey is a given. Aside from that, which will always be #1 for me, would love to get back to the Beaulieu Autojumble again in England. I know it's certainly not as I'd remember it from the early 80s but still would be fun. Paris Retromobilia, Mulhouse in France, and the Louwman in the Netherlands too. There are many other great museums in Germany and Italy on my bucket list also. Although we've seen a lot in Scotland the Glasgow Transport Museum would be great to revisit in their new building, just to see the worlds second oldest ROLLS displayed. I had the thrill of riding in that car while living there. Of course I'd stay long enough to do the London to Brighton Run. Hopefully we could catch a ride with someone. I'll buy the gas!!! Terry -
Watch Fobs
Terry Bond replied to Terry Bond's topic in Memorabilia, Toys, Art, Signs, Clothing and Printed Material
Another interesting fob is this one. One end of the leather strap has a tab with a small emblem - "League of American Chaufeurs." The other end of the strap has a brass fob with an eagle on top of an early wheel. I've found out this is the official emblem of the organization. The fob has nothing on the back except a nicely engraved number - 4465. I assume that would be a membership number? A little digging reveals the organization was founded sometime around 1914 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Their publication was monthly and called "The American Chauffeur." The magazine carries a similar eagle on the cover. I have managed to find a few copies of the magazine on-line but the latest seems to be around 1919. Does anyone have any information on this organization? Apparently they were at one time very successful and had "official garages: located in the Chicago area. -
Nice trick with the rice in the dump truck! It's coming along, but my input is everything appears to "clean." Making things look real means adding some roughness and signs of actual use and aging. Looks like the truck has some scuff marks on it, as it should, but you could go a bit further with it. The model railroad guys have all that down to a fine art. Many of their creations, techniques and special painting tricks are on the internet. Lots of you-tube videos will keep you occupied (and amazed) for hours. Keep us posted as you continue. Terry

The factory service manual should have answers to all the line routing and port questions for your car. The Pontiac on line discussion forums should also be a good resource to help find any parts you may need. Lots of diagrams and photos in the internet too. Terry

I noticed that when I was digging for info on the fob. Canadian Club is good stuff, but I prefer a good single malt Scotch. Terry -

Dominion Motors Limited was founded in 1908 in Walkerville, Canada. It grew from a bicycle manufacturing company like a lot of other early automobile makers. By 1910 they introduced their new car. It was originally planned to name the car the Royal Windsor, but when the first car was shown that year it was called Dominion, and carried the distinctive emblem shown in the advertisement. They were unsuccessful in taking advance orders and the 1911 model never appeared. Early in 1911 the company was acquired by Enoch Smith of Detroit after it went into voluntary liquidation when a petition for receivership was filed by a Detroit supplier. The new company, named the New Dominion Motor Co., didn't fare much better. In 1915 they were the first Canadian company to demonstrate a truck at the Detroit Auto Show-- a 'revolutionary' vehicle featuring a four-wheel trailer and a separated two-wheel cab and engine component. It obviously did not catch on as the company went out of business the same year. this fob dates from before the name change in 1911, and for a car made only one year, it must be pretty rare. Terry -
Founders Tour 2024 "Touring Cajun Country", Lafayette, La
Terry Bond replied to Ron Sonnier's topic in General Discussion
We've been on a few big tours too. Although logistics can be a challenge, experienced organizers can stagger events and tour stops so nothing is too overwhelming. Terry -
Founders Tour 2024 "Touring Cajun Country", Lafayette, La
Terry Bond replied to Ron Sonnier's topic in General Discussion
One thing that's not been mentioned is the ability to attend a tour as a passenger. You can pre arrange a spot in a friend's back seat, or just register and catch a ride when you get there. Although driving your own car is ideal, there is no reason you still can't be part of the fun. Terry -

Saw him at Hershey a couple of years ago Too bad Hagerty's "expert" doesn't know what he's talking about though. A Model A Cabriolet is not an A-400. Terry
