I didn’t get it….Sorry!…..No offense intended Adam…….I guessed perhaps you didn’t think it was a factory color.

Hi, I, for the life of me, cannot remember how to add an album or delete an album from my profile page.

It is likely code G-2 Ditzler #2629 Frosty Green Poly. Easily looked up, google can be your friend!

Your “teaser” video will keep us followers on the edge of our seats!

Walt, if this could be of some help send me a PM…..it would be gratis.

I would love to hear a Highlander horn in operation……I had no idea that the horn was available only for 1941-42……the one I saw was on a ‘41 NYer coupe. I have a friend who has the horn I will get, he will restore it for me. He has restored several Spartons before.

Book is in like new condition. Excellent coffee table book. $25.00 INCLUDES priority postage in the continental USA. Scampoutatcomcastdotnet or PM.

Nice work on a BIG step in this project. Congratulations! A video on the fuel pump rebuild would be much appreciated!

Gimme a paintbrush…….spraybomb…….anything…….please!

I spotted a Highlander horn on a NY’er coupe for sale last fall. I actually found one! It is being reconditioned by a friend in Ohio. This is from an article in Old Cars that was written by John Lee: “Speaking of Scottish music, the Highlander theme was expanded in 1941 to include an optional set of horns that played the Scottish tune “The Campbells Are Coming, Oho! Oho!” The four-tone Highlander horn assembly, part #863127, was listed in the 1942 MoPar parts catalog as available for all 1941 and ’42 Windsor and New Yorker Highlander models for $15 extra. The Highlander plaid upholstery cost $25.”

The person that I bought my ‘48 New Yorker from has a ‘55 Desoto 4dr. in this same color combination. Very striking!

I have a 1948 New Yorker 4dr. with the Highlander interior. Three pictures below illustrate some things that distinguish mine. #1) note trim number “23” denoting the Highlander interior #2) if you do find a car and it has the Highlander horn option you would be indeed fortunate! #3) This is the only Highlander badging on my car.

At those temps (-22 f) I hope the cars are OK…..

Another fine video Mr. B. ……a most Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all the family! Diane & Jeff P.

Finished assembling my transmission yesterday. I decided to stamp the date on the end of the main shaft for posterity. Someone did the same almost 109 years ago, 2-27-13.

I love my ‘48 New Yorker. The wheelbase is 6” longer than the Windsor and I have the Eight. Noticeably more powerful than the Six but I would still call acceleration “leisurely “. The “Highlander “ interior is a big hit at the local car shows as it is seldom seen and little is known by the general public. Seems to me this car is priced fairly and the body damage is not too severe. I would definitely consider it if I was still looking.

Yep, ya gotta be tough to live up north! Sure looks purdy sittin’ hanging that stand……..Can’t wait to hear the motor run and see the old girl move again!

Looking forward to your history of Willoughby. I have always like those bodies very much. Here is one of my favorites.

This is new territory for me…….Yesterday I finished installing the triple gears, drums, clutch discs (26!), clutch drum, driven plate and clutch spring on the side of the flywheel shown. Now I have to turn it over (dang, they are sure heavy!) and install all the piles shown on the left……16 of this, that, those, these, them + the magnets to make half of the magneto. Model T’s can be a @#$&+*! to work on but I sure do love them….….

Not holiday pictures……..but Merry Christmas to all!

Gee…..aren’t you glad you asked??😀
