The power of the old fashioned telephone is still present!

Doug, I found an old photo of the Maxwell rear spring attachment we discussed.You should be able to fabricate and rivet to your frame. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail it to you. --Bob

Sorry, no pix,s, I sold my Maxwell a few months ago. However I think if you posted on the Maxwell site just above here someone will assist you. --Bob--

I installed a pair of 30 X 3 1/2 Firestone non skids on my '15 T roadster complete with Firestone tubes and used 1956 air to inflate them. They have given me many thousands of pleasurable miles through the years. About 10 years ago I replaced the wheels with a set of NOS(yes they were) wheels and new tires and tubes. The old ones were recycled under a 1914 "roller" roadster being put together for an original correct restoration. When that project is done they will be recycled again, never having been down, still holding the air I put in them 59 years ago. I am a Firestone tube fan! --Bob--

It looks very similar to a 1909 Maxwell spring/frame attachment. The eye (hole) slides over a pin attached to the frame. Also Maxwell used an adjustable radius rod for proper driveline angle. --Bob--

Years ago the plant manager came into the maintenance shop and said I just got a car for my son to drive to college, and I'm concerned about some rust holes behind the rear wheels that might leak carbon monoxide into the car. I looked at it (a late 50'sBuick) and told him we didn't have any material to do this work. One of my workers walked by and said" I can fix that". He filled the well on each side with PorRock, a cement used to secure anchor bolts in concrete, troweled the outside smooth, eyeball matched the paint with some Benjamin Moore's enamel. Off he went to college,the rear end sagged a little but he had good traction in the snow.--Bob--

Contact Rand Broadstreet in Ohio with your application and I am quite sure he can help you. I sold him the last two that I had. He advertises in Hemmings Motor News. --Bob

All dues paying members get the club magazine Antique Automobile? If so look in the Nov./Dec. issue and it will show the number of issues that were mailed, I assume to all members, including life members. I can not remember ever seeing printed the budget line item for dues received. --Bob

I have a very dear friend whom gifted me the "Genesee Country" script as shown several years ago. He had removed it from his uncles 1925 Buick radiator, in the 30's. The aluminum cast scripts were sold here in western New York, And used to promote Letchworth State Park and it's 17 mile long "Grand Canyon of the East". The name Genesee has a Native American Indian origin that came from the river that goes through the gorge flowing from Pennsylvania to Lake Ontario.I always looked upon it as a regional statement. I guess it could have been used for other purposes as well. Very interesting as I thought I had the only existing one hanging in my shop, it was, until today! -Bob-

This item has been sold to tomcarnut. --Bob--

Looked like he was washing an auto part!

Doesn't the hood trim say it is a Special? Anyway the car speaks for itself, any Buick admirer would welcome it to their stable. I know I would! A very nice find --Bob--

Anyone know what the Maserati Sebring brought at the Dragone auction this past Saturday, 05-30-15? Thanks.-- Bob--

While you did mention a battery Klaxon.,they also made mechanical auto horns that operated by a button simply pushed with your hand. They tend to be cheaper to purchase and lack the electric components sometimes found to be troublesome. The noise from a mechanical Klaxon will never be forgotten! --Bob--

Thanks Mike, PM has been sent. --Bob--

I thought the 1 - 2 numbers on the switch refer to the dry cell battery packs that were used on the one and two cylinder cars of the day When one pack was exhausted, you switched to the alternate set to get home or to a hardware store? My '05 Maxwell was set up that way. Greg made a good point on looking for the cover, it is very important to the coils value. --Bob

Hi Mike, I just left him with his problems. Something twisted off in the carb when he was dismantling it to clean. He now needs to repair that part. No, he does not have any spare parts for the truck or engine, but is always looking. It seems like the truck is somewhat scarce. I believe you are right in saying the two ton and three ton used the same 4 cyl. engine. Would it be possible to have the owners manual you have copied for him? I would be happy to reimburse you your costs. Thanks! --Bob

Mike , We switched a couple of plug wires from one side to the other, then Frank got it running on the priming cups, but not the carb. Further inspection found a mouse nest in side the carb's air horn. He is working on that now. I didn't mention in my earlier post that it is a three ton model. He wants to have it ready for the truck show this week end in York Pa.,and Jim Sandoro would also like it at the big Pierce meet in Buffalo coming up. When he gets the carb back together this afternoon I'm sure it will run. He will place that firing order info where he can find it. --Bob--

I'm helping a friend get his 1928 Pierce Arrow heavy duty dump truck running. The firing order for the 4 cylinder engine escapes both of us. He has been searching for an owners manual or any information to get this basic info for many months with no success. If can anyone can assist or help him it would be much appreciated. It is a "T" head with dual ignition, one plug over each intake and exhaust valve. Thank you! --Bob.
