  1. @Fossil Egad! Last seen, it was sporting a purple paint job, chopped top and a 350 Chev…..ugh!🤮 Here it is the day I bought it. Sold the Western Bullit wheels and reinstalled the stockers I received with the car.
  2. @Hudsy Wudsy I had a chance to buy a ‘48 Kaiser with 3K actual miles from the estate of a retired K-F dealer in Bayport MN about 1990. Asking was $5000! My 1946 Dodge had collector plate # 600025…..very early!
  3. C’mon Terry…..you know that with all Model A’s and T’s, if they do not “mark their territory “, they are out of oil !! 😂
  4. G.A. Meyer Mercantile was a long time fixture in the farm town era of Lake Elmo MN. Around 1973 the building burned down. At that time I was in college and working part time as a substitute rural letter carrier in town. The day after the fire myself and a coworker walked around the burn site and I found these two papers. No more. Old timers around town told me that Meyer sold cars years ago. I never researched the company and its history. I should do that!
  5. Pretty car…..much better car than the ‘59 DeSoto shown elsewhere on this forum. Two door, four door, doesn’t matter to me, both look the same from behind the wheel!
  6. Another car for sale near me that I had no clue existed. If anyone has more interest I can check it out for you.
  7. @34LaSalleClubSedan sure you are aware of this website….https://www.prewarcar.com Lots of good video there.
  8. Driving season for my Model T Runabout is over now, time to make a much needed repair and to prepare the car for it’s winter nap. The handbrake quadrant was not holding very well so an inspection was undertaken. As one can see the is not much for teeth left so a call to a nearby parts house resulted in a new one. Grinding off the rivets of the old one proved to be a challenge in the cramped quarters. Installing the new one may be to difficult so perhaps hardened bolts would be better. As for the handbrake mechanism…..it is very crusty so time for a total refreshing. As any Model T owner knows, nothing under a Model T stays very clean. As for the floor….ugh!
  9. I would pay TWO mill for any one of those four cars……one can only dream! (One of the Tourist models went for 1.6M)
  10. I would pay a Mill for one of the Deemer family American Underslung cars…..if I had the Mill !!
  11. I love the cars from the immediate pre and the immediate post war era cars. Fortunately I own one that I love or I would certainly check this one out. Go for it @ericmac!
  12. Since 95+% of folks who frequent the local cruise in car shows don’t know and have to ask, I added this old cast brass logo to my radiator.

  16. Keith Barron @keithb7 has posted video of his 1938 Plymouth resurrection on you tube, search “Keith’s garage”. I believe he may have one on trans removal.
  17. I am surprised (looking at the pics) this car has a 112” wheelbase. 4 cyl, thermo siphon, 18 hp motor, likely very underpowered as Wayne says. There is an Earl somewhere in the Twin Cities (MN) area.
