    Then and now: where did these prewar cars go?

    Re the color Alberta photo - C. N. Parker of Red Deer, Alberta drove this car on the 1958 tour from Fernie to Vancouver.  He experienced magneto trouble which put him behind the other participants for a while, but he eventually caught up.  Maybe this photo is from part of the troubleshooting.

     

    He also entered the car in a cross-Canada centennial tour in 1967, but the license plate was different at that time.

     

    There's a small clue that this car moved to California in 2009, destination there unknown.

     

    ***  This is a current picture of the 1913 Lozier Lakewood Torpedo.  Yes, the car is still with the family of whom I've been acquainted with since the mid 1990's...      The car has been restored including the engine but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't seen any time on the road since the early 1970's.   She's comfortably tucked away... for now...

    Simplex automobile registry

    Hi Glenn,

     

    I was lucky enough to purchase a 1915 runabout /roadster a year and a half ago from a local collector.   Part of the inventory that came with the car was the last known owners list for the Simplex line of cars.   I have a copy of it in PDF and could email it to you if you like.  It was last compiled in 1991...

    In researching the car and the owners list, I was able to track down the son of the fellow that compiled the directory.  His father, now deceased, was apparently very taken with the Simplex brand (sounded like almost an obsession) and he spent YEARS chasing down and maintaining a list of these cars and who was in possession of them.

     

    Over the course of the last year, I've put a new radiator in my car... the core having been made in England and then a shop in P.A. having pulled out the old rad and installed the new core in the shell.  While VERY expensive, I am very happy with the work that was done and the 'ol gal is just purring down the highway.. !!!

     

    My car is the earliest known 1915  in existence, Ser #2045.

    WTB - 1930 Chrysler Imperial rear axle & transmission

    in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell

    Posted

    I am currently in the process of restoring a 1930 Chrysler Imperial two door convertible. Unfortunately the rear axle has a painfully low gear set, 4.90-1. I'm looking for either a high speed Crown & Pinion or the entire axle with a higher ratio set of gears.

    Also, while the transmission housing fits, it is not the correct one for this car.

    I'd very much appreciate any leads on obtaining these items.

    Thanks very much !!!

    Folks,

    I've broken the mounting bracket on my (pot metal) fuel pump and am hoping someone out there has one for sale.

    All that I actually need is the bottom half - the part that mounts to the engine.

    If you have one available - for sale - I'd REALLY APPRECIATE an email !!!

    Cheers,

    1930 front shocks & wheel bolts / washers

    in Buick - Buy/Sell

    Posted

    I'm looking for a set of front shocks for a '30 60 series - including the arms.<BR>I'm also in need of a full set of bolts to hold the split rim & tire on to the wood spoke hub. In particular in that regard, the 'washers' that hold the tire & split rim on are needed. The few I have show 'Flaxon' on them. They appear to be made of cast iron, as some have split.<BR>Regards<P>Roger
