Sometimes those cars got disabled, abandoned and forgotten for decades out in the wilderness, then rediscovered like this Buick I have been working on. 

Hi

I don't believe this is a Buick.

Looks like our 3rd Series Packard Twin Six Packard

[Wilbraham Hill Climb 2023]

Question here: Is the Wilbraham hillclinb and the Wachusett Mountain hillclimb of the 1950s the same event?

 

[Wilbraham Hill Climb 2023]

If that '17 Locomobile does the hill, it would be a repeat of it's performance in the 1950s on Mount Wachusett.

Many moons ago, I learned that a guy could urinate on the fuel pump to cool the fuel.

Any one have luck with this?

Hi,

Side curtains on our friend's '26 Studebaker are stored in the top, rolled up like window shades. Just pull them down when the rain starts.

Has anyone seen this?

Hi,

You might do well to contact this fellow at The Canadian Auto Museum.

I visited there in Oshawa, Ontario. An excellent facility. Very helpful staff.

[What automotive books are you fascinated by currently?]

Hi,

Sorry about the poor photo.

" Chrysler, The life and times of an automotive genius" by Vincent Curcio. 2000

669 pages of history about the man and his work in the automotive field.

It took me over 6 weeks to finish.

Santa enjoyed his ride in our Chrysler last Saturday, but with his ample frame, it took three people to extricate him from the front seat.

The next time you go to Maine, take a side detour to North Newcastle. Stop and enjoy the ambience at the

[Brass Stem Inner Tubes]

Hi,

Thanks for posting the link.

I bought brass stem tubes from Universal about 10 years ago and have installed them in two of our tires on the '26 Chrysler.

I've had two failures where the stem goes into the tube.

From the photos, looks like that there isn't enough flange on the stem to hold the inflation pressure.

I contacted Universal, and they suggested the stem as shown in the photo.

Challenge there is to find a shop to hot vulncanize the stems onto the tubes.

From the link, it looks like the Model A stems have a flange that will work.

That may be the best option at this time

 

[Brass Stem Inner Tubes]

Need contact info for a local (Rochester, NY) area shop that can hot volcanize brass stems to inner tubes. Stems available with a rubber flange.

Replacing old rubber stem tubes on our '26 Chrysler.

Thanks,
