That might be the ugliest L29 I've ever seen... And I'm on record saying that it's my opinion that the L29 was just about the prettiest car ever built. Frank

My point exactly... Frank

West, I did not intend my post above to imply snobbery regarding the Stude or the Packard Speedster of last year. Rather, it deals with the double standard applied at the Hershey show. How can the club justify refusing to allow even mildly modified cars in the car corral or even the flea market, and then allow home made cars in the show. I don't care what class you put the car in on the show field, it still remains that the cars identified were never produced, and thus did not come from the factory as they were shown. If an early LaMans gets changed to a GTO (as could be ordered from the factory) then OK... But at least the factory produced such a GTO. I'd like someone to explain to us plebes why the Stude above is not just a home made, modified Studebaker. If the standards are applied to one group of modified cars, why not to all.... Frank

I bit my tongue when I read the article about the home made Stude convertible. There is always a double standard when it comes to things like this. on one hand, the modified cars are kicked out of the Hershey car corral because they are not 'like they came from the factory.' Then in THE national magazine highlights things like Packard speedsters or Studebaker convertibles that were NEVER built at the 'factory.' I, too, don't mind things like mag wheels on a Corvette or V8 wheels on Model A when touring. Hell, the roads today are dangerous places. The more road worthy we can make these cars, the better. But, come on... home made Stude convertibles in the National Magazine??? Frank

In a photo this grainy, it's hard to tell. There are no side lights, so if like this from the factory, it had a starter and generator. That would make it 1921 or 1922. 1923 was the first slanted windshield, so it can't be that... Frank

Could very well be Marmon. Here is a photo of the one I recently sold and note the extra wide lower front fender with the running board surface going up the curve.... Frank

I'm not sure if the problem I had with DOT5 was related to the issue of water, but I had a 1964 1/2 Mustang and replaced the DOT3 with DOT5. Before the change, which included a flush as described above, I never had a problem. After the change, I never got more than 12 months out of a brake light switch. This one is the kind that operated from pressure at the master cylinder. The problem was always related to fluid getting under the switch diaphragm and the switch failed. After the second or third switch failure, I started carrying a spare in the glove box. Frank

I have three complete lights that were on my 27 Big Six President and are labelled Guide Tiltray. The front of the lens frame is 9 1/2" dia and the light body is 9 1/4" deep from front of the rim to the adjusting screw. I know Stude used different lights in these years so I'm not sure if this is a match. Complete lights are $100 each, buy 1 or 2, or all 3. Frank

Careful freeman, posts like that will get deleted, mine did. I repeat... IT'S A FLEA MARKET... Frank

Glad to hear of your good fortune. Frank

43 for me...

Unfortunately, Andrew called me about 2 days late. The engine is spoken for in Hershey. He knows that if the deal falls through, it's his. I don't think the deal will fall through, however. Frank

I'll put in my 2 cents... I am a first responder in our town and see auto accidents almost daily. As much as I love to drive my antique cars, and I put almost 1000 miles on my EMF this spring, I would NEVER use an antique car as a daily driver. There is something to be said for crumple zones, air bags, safety belts, etc. I used to be dead set against the use of seat belts and hardly ever used them. Now I've come to believe that those who use them walk away, those who don't get carried away... I have come upon accidents with roll overs and people trapped in cars the size of peanuts and with a little help, they walk away with minor injuries. God bless the crumple zone... Frank

I'll have a set of five of these 25" 3-Piece rims in Hershey space C4Y34-37. Not sure of Manufacturer, but was told they fit EMF and others. $600 set of 5. Frank 518-755-0986

Do you want another one so they don't get lonely? I'll have one just like it in Hershey also... Frank

I just googled images of the 35 Plymouth and the headlight stands are are totally different. 36 Dodge it is... Frank

I was thinking 36 Dodge, but not sure if the belt line on the two cars are the same... very subtle difference. Maybe it's my eyes... Frank

36 has vertical ribs in the grill, 35 has 4 main horizontal...

1935 Plymouth?? Frank

The chain drive starter above for the REO was also used on the Studebaker Big Six from 1918 through 1927. Same starter... 6 volts. it was mounted on the front of the crankshaft. Frank

That vacuum tank looks familiar. I think I have one.... Frank

I'll be there for my 45th in a row. I'll be in a new spot this year. 33 years in a row in the same old spot. Needed a change this year C4Y34 - 37 Frank

I'll have this in Hershey this year for sale. Spaces C4Y3-3. Arriving Tuesday around noon. Frank: 518-755-0986

I''ll have many Marmon 34 parts in Hershey at space C4Y34-37 this year. What do you need? Also have a 34B Engine that is complete and will deliver to Hershey if paid in advance. Too big to bring on speculation. Engine: $2500. Frank 518-755-0986

Had a pair of those on a Marmon 34...
