Parades. I don't really like them but my 8 year old loves to ride in them and I am<BR>always ask to haul this queen, or the winner of some award.<BR>It can be very interesting meeting people, but be prepared to wait and wait and wait.<BR>Horses are not a problem as in our paraded they wear diapers.<BR>Once I followed and OX car it was so slow we were miles behind the rest of the parade<BR>by the end. If you have your choice take the parade marshal. As you go first.<BR>I have a 1916 Elgin even without a water pump in 100-degree temp. It has never overheated in a parade. I did run out of gas once.<BR>What I really hate is the waiting. You never know if you should shut it off and <BR>take the chance it won't start again or set and let it idle for and hour.<P>Jay Wolf <A HREF="Http://beaver.vinu.edu/newelgin.htm" TARGET=_blank>Http://beaver.vinu.edu/newelgin.htm</A> <BR>

I have to a concur with hvscotyard.It is hard to sell a bunch of parts<BR>as a car, you would get more money out of it selling it as parts.<BR>But that is more work.<BR>As far as value as a car.<BR>I would say you are looking a a #6 parts car<BR>value, maybe a #5, but not worth near what it was before it was taken apart.<P>Lots of people including myself, want to take<BR>the car apart themselves so they know how to put it back together. I always shoot pictures,<BR>while disassembling, months or years later it <BR>is hard to remember the correct order of washers, etc.<BR>I would guess for 27 Chevy<BR>4 door your <BR>looking at around $1000.<P><BR>Jay Wolf

I am looking for a wheel/rim clamp for my 1916 Elgin. I have 23 that match and 3 that don't. I can put 2 on the spare tire but I would like to find one to match for the wheels on the ground. It is steel it is just under 1.5 inches wide at it's widest point. And just over 1.5 inches long. Photo at <A HREF="http://beaver.vinu.edu/eclamp.jpg." TARGET=_blank>http://beaver.vinu.edu/eclamp.jpg.</A> <BR>It is just painted silver not plated.<P>Thanks Jay Wolf<BR><p>[This message has been edited by elgin 16 (edited 06-14-2000).]

I had the same touble a few year ago on my 1916 Elgin. It had a Stewart.<BR>One year at Hershey, I went around and bought 5 tank in the swap meet, till I found one that had the same float that was good, just because the outsides don't match, the floats still may be the same, most tanks were in the $5 range, I think I may have given as much as $10 for one of them. if it is a Stewart it shouldn't be hard to find.<P>If you have a JPG of the float send it to me and I'll see if I have one in the pile.
