1930s open two-seater, can you help to ID?
oldford replied to Charles in Shanghai's topic in What is it?
The one in the center looks like a 32 Chevy. Nicest pre-war chevy built... Frank -
Dave, make sure you leave a clean spot for my AA in the next 2 weeks. It's coming over for that fender repair.... Frank

Fall Hershey Flea Market Cast of Characters
oldford replied to knee-action's topic in General Discussion
As far as remembering, there was a particular year when the Gumbo was especially thick, not sure which year, but it could have been any one... I woke up one morning after a hard rain to find the roads in the Blue field were churned to goo by the late arivals. There was the rather attractive young lady wearing a white leather jacket with white leather pants and white shoes (really) inching her way through the mud. She walked up to this salty looking guy and asked, "Would you have any parts for a Jaguar?". He barked in response, "We don't mess with that sh$$%^!!" She just slowly moved on.... Frank -

I know you are a better mechanic than I am, but do you need to bleed the injector lines??? Frank

Not Model T from the Factory. Frank

Ed, there is a guy in California making new water pumps for that Marmon. But you probably already know that. The last time I talked with him, he had two on the shelf. Nice car... If you ever need a starter for it, let me know... Frank
-
Yes, I think I agree... Frank

Possibly 2 cylinder Reo, around 1908 Frank

Not sure about it being a late 20's Stude. The cowl lamp on these cars was curved with a point in the front like that below. The one on the photo looks more drum shaped, like Buick. Frank

looks like a mixture of Chevrolets 40's and early 50's Frank

1928 Auburn. Export models only had the fender marker lights... Frank

1910 EMF in very good running condition for sale: $40,000. Rear axle and engine rebuilt less than 5000 miles ago. Good solid runner. Once owned by Henry Austin Clark of Long Island Auto Museum fame. 5 near perfect Lester tires/tubes; decent leather interior. Has been on many New England Brass & Gas tours as well as other tours throughout the Northeast. Delivery possible. Frank Iaccino 518-755-0986

It's a 1929 Essex, made by Hudson. Looks to be in decent shape... Frank

Best guess: 17-21 Dodge Bros... Frank

To Bill & Steve: If I came across as unsympathetic in the above post, I apologize. It is frustrating to see ALL events cancelled because of this virus. We have Governors who grab power to take our liberties without the consent of the legislature and are then supported by the courts. We can keep liquor stores open but we can't attend church. I know it is a herculean task to organize a tour of this size and your efforts are not missed by me, believe me, I have organized tours in the past, just not as large. What is most annoying is that i truly believe this entire episode was by design, not happenstance. Frank

I just found out that the Glidden tour has just been cancelled, also. I think it's time for the organizers of these events to do what the Carlisle people did. Get your heads out of the sand for Pete's sake... Frank

If you remove the rear hub cap (unscrew) you will most likely find a large castellated nut with a cotter pin. remove these and pull the wheel straight off. You may need a puller, the kind that screw onto the hub with a center bolt that presses against the axle shaft. Frank

There is a write-up about the assembly and adjustment of the T6 clutch in Dykes. Both my 12th edition and 16th edition has it. Not simple, just takes time. Frank

So, help me understand the decision... The virus threat is so great that we cannot accept the liability of people meeting in a flea market, but the liability of people meeting in a car show is acceptable??? October is 5 months away, If we are still cowering in our caves, we are in more trouble than we realize... Frank
-
You will need to use the 26-27 transmission cover with it, since it has the bulge to accommodate the wider drum. I'm not sure if an earlier pan will fit, but someone should know... Frank
-
So, do you think the sludge in the crankcase was due to the absence of an air cleaner??? More than likely, due to non-detergent oil rather than an air cleaner.... Frank

Is it better to buy a used car compared to a new car?
oldford replied to Nolan Walker's topic in General Discussion
I used to by good, low mileage used cars all the time, especially for the reasons stated above. All less than 20,000 miles. My opinion is changing though. I am a volunteer fireman and most of our calls are accident calls. The newer cars have far superior crumple zones and you can't imagine the amount of damage and still people walk away. Now, when you consider the average hourly charge for good mechanics is approaching $150 per hour, you better have a warrantee. Most cars over 35,000 miles and you're on your own. If I'm buying a used car, it will have less than 20,000 miles or I look elsewhere. Frank
