1937hd45

I don't remember the details, but the Star Motor Co. in the UK got Mercedes to stop using the three pointed star on cars they sold in England some time around 1910

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Its a pretty good consensus here that the name "AACA Museum" tells an person outside of the organization absolutely nothing about what is in the museum if they read the name on a brochure or sign. How about a simple combination of the names?..such as: "AACA Automotive Museum" Outsiders may not know who or what AACA is.. but most probably do not know who "Peterson" is in the Peterson Automotive Museum either... </div></div> Bob PeterSEN was the founder of PETERSEN Publishing Inc., Hot Rod and Motor Trend to name a few magazines that over the past 50+ years funded the building and maintence of the collection. One guy with a passion for the cars, who has set the benchmark to judge all automotive museums & collections. IMHO

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> A final question. What benefit does the AACA as a Club receive from this museum? A library provides much benefit to our membership, but what does a museum really provide? </div></div> Hopefully the Museum people will ask Boyd Coddington to explain this at his next fund raising talk.

What was the reason for not having it on a convertable?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">We just had a 1968 Mustang disqualified at Hershey for having the wrong motor in it. It had a 428 instead of the 302 indicated in the VIN. </div></div> Sure wouldn't want to be the judge that made that boneheaded decision, but this is a K-Mart lot car question, so I'll stay out of it. We don't unbolt 1928-41 Ford left front fenders looking for "Vin Numbers" life it too short for that anal stuff.

English or Springfield?

Based on the DB hub cap and door handle location it looks to be a 1927 Dodge four door sedan.

Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, didn't get it. I wonder if they clearly state where the money goes INSIDE AACA? Library and museum are two different animals, I like feeding one, the other is overstuffed.

I agree, The shape of the top, and size of the side lamps look like a 1903 Ford or Cadillac.

What type of car are these parts from?

Oldford is a good guy and will give you a good deal on an engine.

Well, for starters that combination clock and speedometer setup would get you about $2,000.00 next week in the Hershey swap meet. Cowl looks like a Maxwell but they had a different gear shift pattern than that car. This is fun!

Another great photo! If we could see a door bottom we would know if it was a 1913 or 1914. I think Fords had smooth treaded front tires up till 1917. That car to the right of the T probably has treaded white tires that got dirty, that is they look like steel tack heads. You can post the photo of that monster any time now.

Brad, Thanks again for posting the photos! --O would be REO on the sign. Racing a MERCER in the day would be the same as a Viper or Ferrari today. Those tools were hi tech, big buck back then. Wonder what the Model T Ford guys were using?

All the good cars are sold by friends to friends.

Tommy left out the fact that there is a guy with a chicken BBQ on the other corner.

stude8, If you don't have a copy of the program I can make you a good quality copy of the page that had all the 1929 Studebaker info and photo. Dr. Woodward bought the car in 1956 with 52,000 miles on it from someone in Waverly, Ohio. With the windshield folded flat it was clained to do 90MPH.

I just looked at the photo again, and realized that is not an access hole in the cowl, it is the drive gear on that cordless drill the crew member is aligning. The car looks to be an Indy 500 type from 1913-14 but #14 doesn't match with cars that ran there. If you have the Jack Fox book check out the photo of Ralph DePalma with his MERCER on the scales before the 1913 Indy 500. The carb access door, group of 4 rivets on the frame rail and hood strap brackets are the same as the above photo. Cowl flair and tank shape match also.

Brad, GREAT photo, note that it is underslung, the chassis is flipped upside down, might be a 1912-14 Regal Underslung. Front license plate is mounted off the radiator filler neck, that is why it looks blured in that area.

Post every photo you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not the fun it used to be, quitting at 30 is better than 29.

1926 Ford Accessorie price

West, it is a known fact that the $35.00 set of 5 Drop Center wire wheels Ford offered turned a 1926 Model T Ford into a Babe Magnet.

My guess is that the flood of late model vehicles is driving away old cars and the people that judged them.

After you buy some rivets from Jim & Pat buy something rusty from me at the end of the row,C4J-41-42.
