I'm not sure to the rarity, but I think the Parklane will be a better value for the future. It should be a more desireable car to most people. Ron

I think you made a great deal. Ron

I have the opportunity to pick up a 55 Pontiac but there is no engine or trans. I would like to get the correct engine for it and would like to know where the best place to find one is or if anyone has one. Thanks Ron

If I am reading this correctly you are not getting any power under load. How is the integrity of the exhaust? You can check for an exhaust blockage with the vacumm gauge. The vacumm should drop and then fairly quickly rise back to the high end. With a blockage in the exhaust the vacumm will recover to the high end very slowly or not at all. Ron

I am looking for a friend that has a 1937 120. He wants to have it overhauled and I am looking for someone in the Chicagoland area. Any leads appreciated.

Thanks Lew I'll talk to him tomorrow and see what info I can get. Hopefully I can go over there and look at the car and get some pictures. I'll see what kind of attachment he has to the car if any and I agree that he can get more use out of the money then letting the car slowly rust away. Thanks for the info and I will keep you posted. Ron

Not a story but just trying to get some frustration off my mind. I have a good friend that has a 57 sitting in his garage. It's been there for far to many years. Maybe 20 years now. It apparently has some minor engine problems. I've tried to buy the car a few years back but he says that he is saving it for his retirement project. The car is in very good condition body wise and also the interior. Well, he's been retired now for about 2 years and still no action on the car. I am without a project and would love to have this car. I will be seeing him probably this week so maybe some of you shrewd T-Bird guys can give me a few tips as to how to approach the situation. I've thought of offering him a decent price for it the way it sits but unsure what it may be worth. I'll try to get some pictures of it. He's had this car a very long time but has done nothing with it. I figure it's time someone started to appreciate it. Thanks for listening. Ron

Dreams are free, a 29 Nash isn't. I hope one day you can fullfill that dream. Ron

I've used Ice Cold Air when I lived in Spring Hill down there. They were really good people and knew what they were doing. One can only hope that all of them are alike. Ron

Do you have the name of the yard? Ron

I believe that the 58 was an animal unto itself. Ron

I would love to know the story behind the wreck on the tow truck. Cool pictures Ron

I have a friend that is in need of a 42 Steering wheel. Does anyone know of one? Thanks Ron

Have you had any requests for a 69 Olds Cutlass? Ron

For 5K Grab it. Ron

A new sleeve is not required. It ould be if you were changing the pinion though. Remove the driveshaft, pinion nut and pop out the seal. Ron

Before going through the trouble of changing the fluid, have you checked to see if the stop light switch is operating properly? Have you checked the grounds at the tail lights? Ron

Is the belt tight? You could have a slipping belt and it may not make any noise. Ron

Love the wheelbarrow strapped on the back of the car in the backround. Ron

Where is the car located? Ron

No doubt about it, the old car hobby brings out the nice in people. Enjoy your car and have a ball. Ron
