Is this the Correct Deduction? Last time I judges I took 3 off per tire and was told by my team captain that since the tires were there and served their intended function, I could not take off the max deduction. I was told I could only give max deduction if the tires we not present or not in a condition to serve their intended function. So on the scoring sheet 2 per tire was the deduction. Does AACA have a set rule on this? I have been told both ways? Not questioning you just wanting to know what is correct.

I think still I have both the Pepsi and the Budweiser that they shot with Gordon's red Amphicar and the kite skier that was never aired due to concerns over drunk driving. This is an animated GIF of some stills shot for Automotive Quarterly of me in 1995

Got any pictures?

Buying off EBay is not easy for a State Agency. Glass would be fine , we just need to keep honest people honest. Would like to fine a free standing large display case to house entire collection. Maybe 8-10 feet long no restriction on height. Don't have a lot to spend need to get it for under $2K under $1K would be great.

We have an older gentleman donating a model car collection to our Library. It is 100 + cars of all scales for 2 inch to 12 inches. Can any of you give me any idea about where to purchase a display case to house such a collection. It would need to be secure as we plan on displaying it out in a public area.

Is the car stock, AACA showable except the engine? What engine did the car come with a 65 would have had 273 or a slant six.

Look in any factory brochures that show the hood open, that would be acceptable to any AACA judge. Check and see if there are any registered as HPOF. If so Contact the owner and find out what color it has. That is one of the advantages of having HPOF.

Wooden wheels were strong in there day and if kept well should be a strong today. 73 foot jump on wooden wheels.

I have one at home I can bring to Hershey. For your information everything I have contact Krause Publications about wanting copies they have sent them to me free. They are great people. It would be worth a call.

Auction ends today.

My guess would be fuel starvation. Amphicars have a bad habit of vapor locking when boating. if you look the fuel line runs around the head, and get very hot. Relocate the fuel line of wrap it with foil. That worked on all mine. The one I used to show I used the wooden clothespin idea and it worked but I never really drove that one the hard. I was always surprised how much harder he motor had to work in the water than on land.

I varies state to state but Indiana has no restrictions what so ever on classic vehicles, but you pay the same to license them as you do any other vehicle. To drive on Interstates the vehicle must be capable of 45 mph.

Since ours was a drag car it was easy. we did it in 2 trips Trip one Engine and trans and tires and wheels. Trip 2 Frame and body, (body was fiberglass so it came off easy) I would think pull tha cab, fenders and bed off the frame would do it. maybe the engine? He will be removing all of those anyway.

Take it apart transport it as used truck parts. Then apply for a Title in Canada. We did that with a fuel altered drag car once.

If you look at Resoration Supply Company's catalog on page 7 it shows different styles. http://www.restorationstuff.com/Catalog/Restoration%20Supply%20Catalog%202003.pdf Page 7

We found a a used car hauller to haul them for $650 each.

I just got my June Old Cars Price Guide. let me know what you have and I'll look it up for you.

Currrently I found this. Not sure if it is big enough for a Buick. the one I have barely works on the 34x4.5 tires 25 inch rims. This looks like mine. You might want to check how big it goes. there is a question about 28 inch rims but no answer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...sspagename=WDVW

They are one E-bay often, that is where I got mine.

I would contact the Director of HPOF and see if AACA has any 32 Chevys with orgianal paint listed.

When automakers donate new cars for educational proposes it state that the vehicle can never be driven on any public street and must be crushed when the school is finished using it. Usually the cars are carrier damage, customer buy backs, non EPA approved modifications and they do not want any liability. Unfortunately we have to crush a lot of valuable cars. Currently we have Toyota Tundra #00001 that will have to be crushed. Lots times we get prototypes and preproduction show cars. We have gotten Indy Pace cars based on the model year before car. We have a Supercharged Riviera that is the year before the supercharger was an option. It?s a shame but we have crushed some real desirable cars, IROCs, a GNX, lots of convertibles. We have a guy in our region who collect Indy Pace cars and he would die for some of the cars we have had, but we must show ?proof of total destruction.?

In my Dykes Carburetor supplement (1928) It has full information on the Type "O" and states at the end of that section "The OE is the same as the Model "O" with the auxiliary gasoline control left off and is made in 1" 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" sizes. So if you have information on the type "O" that should work.
