Yes, it's still for sale. Here is what I can tell you. I bought the car from Lou so he could get on with his business without worries. I'll have more time to sell the car than he will. I got the car to my house and cleaned it up for photos. The engine in the car is stuck, but "it ran when Lou parked it." I thought I could get it running for Hershey, but now not sure. I will have it at Hershey booth CM18 right next to the Marmon club hang-out with Clay Thomas, unless it sells before that. There is another engine that is cast iron that has been rebuilt and ready to drop in. The car is complete to the best of my knowledge but obviously will need some work. Unfortunately, the barn was not secured in time and some bastard stole the air pump. The car will speak for itself. I will also have many other Marmon parts for sale at the booth. If the car does not interest you, you can stop by for a drink and just talk cars. Call me if interested, Frank Iaccino 518-755-0986.

Perhaps you could use the arm you have and transfer it to one of the 100's you have found.... Frank

By the time you hot tank, repair crack, and surface plane you would have spent more than a new head costs. Call Snyders and get a 5.5:1 new cast iron head for around $300. Better low end torque and you'll never regret it... Frank

So, why don't all of the cars with all 4 wheels with right hand thread have half of the wheels falling off along the road. The basic truth is that the designers had it wrong. the wheels have a cone shaped hole for the lugs that mates with the lug nut and they don't come off. No need for left hand thread on the left side of the car... Frank

Bob with a tie???!!! I'd have to see a photo of that to believe it. I thought the only tie he had was the one his wife 'tied' him to the camper in Hershey.... Frank

44 years straight for me... I feel like such a rookie...

Take plenty of photos... I expect to see some in Hershey... Frank

The Everitt was essentially an EMF and was built after Studebaker overtook EMF. That's probably why you thought it was EMF... Frank

Bob, I think it's a 1912 Everitt 30. There is a photo of one in the Standard Catalog of American cars on page 529 (second edition). I detected a '30' on the bottom of the radiator nameplate in your second photo. Here is an image found on Google: Frank

I know I'm late to this discussion, but I have a 31 Model A Ford with 16 inch Ford wires. The bias ply tires would cause wander and sudden jerks from side to side depending on the road surface. I bit the bullet and bought Coker's new radials built to look similar to bias tires. they were expensive, but I think they are worth every penny. the car handles better than ever and the look is quite presentable and looks almost authentic... Frank

al-im-mite

I once had a 30 Graham very similar to that one, also on a 115" wheelbase. It was one of the best driving cars I ever owned. Look at the pluses: Hydraulic Brakes, Fuel Pump, 6 cylinder Continental engine (parts are all over).. I think polished up and running well, it's certainly worth more than $5500. My guess, but I'd start near $10K and let the buyer set the price. Nice Car... Frank

OK, I got some photos. My friend and his father had a repair shop in the 60's and 70's and this is a set of tools that he bought when he worked at a Chrysler dealership. The tools all say MOPAR and are in a tool box marked Yorktown. The tools and the boxes all came as a set. The remaining tools are broken sets and they are what they are... 1/2" Drive Socket Set: Ratchet, 6" extension,1" extension. Sockets: 1 1/4", 1 1/16", 1", 7/8", 11/16", 5/8", 7/16" 3/8" Drive deep sockets: 3" extension, 3/4", 11/16", 7/16", 3/8", 3/8" Drive deep sockets 12 point: 3/4", 11/16" 3/8" Drive deep sockets 6 point: 1/2", 7/16", 3/8" Ignition Wrench Set: SK tools in a MOPAR pouch. Combo Wrench Set: 1", 15/16", 7/8", 13/16", 3/4", 11/16", 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" (missing 9/16 and 7/16) Double Ended Open: 3/4-5/8; 11/16-9/16; 5/8-9/16; 1/2-7/16 MOPAR brake adjusting spoon 1/4 Drive Socket Set: 1/2, 5/16,1/4, 3/8,9/32, 11/32, 3/16, 7/32 Large Green Box with drawers and pull-out tray marked Yorktown.

I will get back to his shop over the weekend and get some.....

A friend of mine is cleaning out a garage that his father used as a car repair shop in the 60's and 70's and we found something of interest. Neither of us had seen these before. There is a tool box filled with wrenches, socket sets, ignition wrenches, etc. that are stamped MOPAR. I checked ebay and could find nothing. Is there any interest out there on this stuff? I would guess mopar guys would flip over them... Frank

Try Luddy Gocek in Nazareth PA. top notch... Frank

Looks like a 58 desoto with some 57 Dodge parts, like the front bumper, etc.

Looks like a 1935 Olds...

6 cylinder Chevy...

Maybe 1921 Auburn Sport Sedan? Hood louvers seem to match... Frank

It appears to be a hub cap wrench. The end with the nubs may have been used to adjust snubber shock absorbers. Frank

I have an idea.... Why not let the police and the DMV in each respective state handle the problem. Why does it bother some to see YOM plates on a 'used' car??? Frank

These are not 26-27 irons. The distinguishing feature on the 26-27 irons is the rear bow/iron has a curve in it that extends up from the eye about 4 inches or so. Frank

For sale is a faithful reproduction of an original pick-up box for an antique car like a Ford Model T or other similar car. This was copied exactly from the original using the original hardware, even down to the original nuts and bolts. the box is 53 inches long, 34 inches wide, and 11 inches high. The height to the top of the flare board is 16 inches. This box is made of clear red oak boards (no plywood) and cannot be shipped, since it is too heavy. I can deliver to the Hershey, PA flea market in October, but the box must be paid in full. My booth number is CM18 in the Chocolate Field and I can be reached at 518-755-0986 id you need to talk about this. Price is $600 Delivered to Hershey.

Damn shame that the car is so bad now. When my brother sold it, he got about $1000 for it. I wanted to buy it, but I did not have the money. Damn shame.... Frank
