  1. Our 31 Lincoln has never had sidemount covers. We had a 34 that had them but I don’t recall see any 31s with them. I would think that covers would not need to be specifically Lincoln, but would certainly need to fit the tires, so you should state the tire size you using. 7.00x19 for example.
  2. I am restoring 1912 Lancia Epsilon Coupe that was formerly in the LI Motor Museum in the early 1950s. Interior photos of similar cars would be very much appreciated. Fairly certain the body is by Holbrook, but still researching that.
  3. The knob was for the idle speed control. Just like one of the levers on Locomobiles. Lancia used this feature in their early radiator emblems too. Visible at 3 o’clock below.
  4. Attached are photos of my steering wheel restored by SteeringWheel Bob. It started out in similar condition to your Loco wheel once the compromised areas were removed. SWBob does great work.
  5. The Lancia wheel that Bob did is mine and it really turned out beautifully.
  6. On the left is a 1912 Locomobile. On the right , with the unusual brackets is probably a 1912 Chalmers, and the car following the Chalmers is a Simplex. I was just in this area on old automobile row on Broadway looking for dealership buildings and saw Locomobile, Demarest body building, and a few others. Neat to see.
  7. It has moved much higher up on the list. In with the other club pages. It’s new name is HCCA. General discussion
  8. You need to be aware of the activity in the discussion below. They also did early four cylinder caps and I got one. Excellent thanks bob mcanlis
  9. Try this company in Australia. They do very good work. https://vintageandclassicreproductions.com/
  10. Are they really brass? What are their purpose?
  11. The two things you will need to provide for identification for each wheel are the outside diameter of the rim where the tire would slide on, and the hub diameter. The hub diameter is probably the ID of the spline circle. The hub would always be measured in millimeters and the rim OD probably in inches but could be in mm
  12. Picture #6 is quite definitely a 1912 M 48 7 pass touring. Right jump seat is visable. Yes, to my knowledge, on all the open 11 and 12 cars, the "driver's door" is just visual. I don't know if that is the case with the closed cars where the body is wider and the shifter and brake are on the inside. None of the 11 and 12 closed cars in the literature show the right side of the car. The 1913 cars had the shifter and brake inside the body on all the models.
  13. The photo above is marked as a Model L in the Catalog Book. But it is actually a 1911 Model M 48. This car was used in Europe after delivery as it was in a couple of Loco advertisements. I have images I purchased from John Conde about 1990 Both sides of the same car at the factory. I used these extensively when restoring my car.
  14. You will want to check out the "Our Cars and Restoration Projects" Section on these forums. Specifically, the thread called "We Acquired an Oakland with a little work". A long restoration thread about a 1909 Oakland, same chassis as yours, except longer wheelbase. The owner is very talented and there is much to learn about tackling projects you may need to address.
  15. Fastest once cylinder brass car out there. Welcome in my garage any day!
  16. Two different tire sizes had to do with ease of steering. It’s the amount of contact area on the ground. 1911/12/13/14 Ms use 36x4.5 on the front and 37x5 in the rear
  17. Received this nice post card from an HCCA member this week. It is post marked Aug 10,1910.
  18. No. It was brought into Roadway. And the orange that roadway uses is the same orange that BCs trucks used. bC said that anyways. He made a lot of money moving tires out of Akron
  19. BC Hartline was in Akron Ohio area. He had four Locos. A 1911, 1912 that are both with me, a 1917 48 7p touring that was originally owned by the family that had the horse Man of War, and the 1925. He also had a 12 Pierce 48, a 21 McFarlan, three and a half 1925 or so Cunningham, an X Duesenburg, and J 525 Brunn SJ Convertible Sedan. A T, and Two Northerns. I used to ride my bike over there and polish brass…. Of all the cars he had he was most proud of the SJ, but he said that the car with the most balls was the McFarlan. A four valves per cylinder triple ignition 4.5 x 6 six with Atlas holding the world on his shoulders as the radiator mascot. The 25 Loco probably left Hartlines in the early 90s
