    National Automobile Chamber of Commerce

    in CCCA - General

    Posted

    I have a question. Way back in the 20's & 30's, Car companies would submit spec sheets to the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. Does anyone know where these spec sheets would be stored? Whatever happened to the documentation? Would it be at the Detroit Public Library? Any help would be appreciated.

    '30's Philco Transitone car radio, need info.

    in General Discussion

    RoadsterRich,

    My friend is running out of time trying to locate this radio. We have found some information but are still trying to find better close up pictures of the dial. We have a machinist who is willing to duplicate the visible portion of the radio and then we'll simply rig it to a modern unit behind the dash. For now we are trying to find an original to copy or better pictures. Would you be willing to share any info you have with us? I'm sure at this point in time there are more holes in dashboards than radios to fit them and sooner or later this will have to be done. If you'd like I can also share the other info I found on this radio with you. If we all pull together we might be able to pull it off

    I noticed on past searches that you were looking for woodlites. THere is a set currently up for auction on ebay. Also, do you have any pictures of the woodlite tail lamp? I am trying to find pictures or a tail lamp so it can be duplicated. Any help would be appreciated.

    1988 Ford F350 Car Hauler For Sale 39K Miles

    in CCCA - Buy/Sell

    Posted

    In 1994 I bought this 1988 F350 custom with 34,000 miles on the odometer. It was a fleet owned stake-bed truck that got downsized out of commission. I had the stake bed removed and the truck painted with epoxy primer and acrylic urethane, had 4 new top of the line Michelin Tires LTX-MS All Season Radials put on valued at $519.00, got new shocks and a tune-up. Next, it went to Hodges Custom Haulers in Padukah, Kentucky for the custom 19' bed and to have the chassis stretched to a 202 inch wheelbase. I had it made this size so it would fit in my garage, which makes the truck a little over 28 feet long. I used the truck for hauling a race car to our local dragstrip about 40 miles away about once a month or so over the years, which accounts for it having such low mileage. In the time I’ve owned the truck, it has never seen the rain and has been stored in a heated garage. It has a fuel-injected 351 with an automatic transmission, PS, PB, Pioneer AM/FM Cassette stereo, air conditioning (just switched to R134), dual gas tanks, sliding back window, billet aluminum grill, contoured bug guard, lighted running boards, stainless steel wheel simulators, stainless steel wheel well moulding on all four corners. The Hodges bed was custom-made to my order and is 19 feet long has raised sides and clipped corners (angled), and the ramps are 16" wide and are self storing and theft proof. There are four locking storage cabinets built into the bed of the truck.

    It has a custom roll bar, a built in 5,000 Pound winch, adjustable wheel stops (3 locations for hauling different length cars, 6 D rings for cars and extra 6 D rings for cargo, 8 loading lights, a trailer hitch, winch cable roller in mid-deck. I just put a new battery in it this year and it was taken in on October 28, 1998 for the ignition switch recall. Air conditioning was recharged and converted July, 2002.

    As you can see from the pictures it shows virtually no signs of wear for a utility truck. It has its usually quirks for a long-term stored vehicle (long Cleveland Winters). It tends to drip oil and transmission fluid the first couple of road trips but then everything swells up in the spring.

    This vehicle is emissions exempt in the state of Ohio due to its weight. It comes from a non-smoking household.

    I'm asking $19,300.00.

    Hello fellow enthusiasts. Does anyone out there have a woodlite taillight? I was told they were used on some of the Cord L-29s. Any help would be appreciated. We need a picture or if possible to purchase one for a restoration project. Thanks in advance. JW

    Hi again,<BR>I just remembered that Don Sommers in Detroit, MI sells brand new reproduced Pilot Rays and Wood Lights. I don't know about full size woodlights but I do know he reproduced a set of fender mount marker lights for a friend. THis was about 2 years ago. Don is famous for his reproduction hood ornaments and automotive art. His stuff is pricey but its ready to put on the car and needs no work because its brand new.<BR>JW

    Hi.<BR>I've seen in many 1920 & 1930 publications Fostoria Fender Company advertises for a wall poster that you can send away for. It lists all the fenders they sell and the cars that they interchange with. Does anybody out there have one of these??? <P>JW
