Gidday, I think our Phoenix's were rebadged Plymouths. Manuel in Oz

I recall seeing a pic of a huge OHV Ford V8. Probably from the 1940s. It may have been for a tank. Manuel in Oz

Me too!

There are a few military vehicle sites that may have MH info. Here are 2 MH only sites: www.geocities.com/marmonherrington/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Marmon-Herrington/messages Hope this helps. Manuel in Oz

Thats a gorgeous car. Manuel in Oz

Oh boy!!! Is that the front, back or middle???? It doesn't look like a Ford wire wheel or hubcap. Manuel in Oz

2nd one is an Opel. They had the same styling as GM cars in the USA. If its in Germany the others may be the same make as well. Manuel in Oz

Yep, Essex. They had their own distinctive shape. Manuel in Oz

Notice how the running boards do not attach to the mudguards, unlike the Ford coupe behind it. I think its a Hupmobile. Manuel in Oz

Ford had Models N, R and K before the Model T. The K was the high priced 6 cyl model. Manuel in Oz

The latest Hemmings Classic Car mag ran a feature on the "Delco Motor Generator". Manuel in Oz

The last pic is definitely a 1935 Ford. 35s had exposed horns out front [similar to 34 Fords]. 36s were the first to hide the horns under the bonnet & they had a pointy prow. Manuel in Oz

That is a 1934 Ford. A another nice one from your grandfather. If u find anymore car pics, keep them coming. Manuel in Oz

After a lot of digging I found the Sharknose story in V1 no4. Manuel in Oz

Hi Con, I suppose they want folks to purchase their list/CD. ~ V3 no4 has the 1940-41 Hupp Graham story. and ~ V9 no6 has the 1932-5 story. What year/model are u looking for? regards Manuel in Oz

That is one nice shiny car!!! The other one has been parked out in the weeds. [what is it anyway?] Did 36 Fords have painted headlights? Can't tell from here. Manuel in Oz

As far as I know every issue of Collectible Auto has an index in it. Grab any issue and check what edition had the story u r after. Manuel in Oz

I did a search and found the Chris Craft model K used them. Also something about a Gray motor. Hope this helps. Manuel in Oz

There is a bloke in Australia that makes new Dodge and Plym mascots and crank hole covers. Manuel in Oz

All these secret code words sound intriguing. I would love to know what the middle word is. Even if it is a few letters. "6V live" -- Does that mean a 6V system was installed? If so, was 12V avail too? Manuel in Oz

Yep, she is a Ford Anglia/Prefect/Popular all right. Manuel in Oz

Great pics and interesting story. I hope they sold a few more cars after that stunt. Apparently Model T's preferred to climb hills backwards. I think the petrol tank was under the front seat and therefore lower than the engine. Climbing steep hills used to starve the engine of fuel so they used to turn around and the problem was solved.

I finally remembered the name of the book. The title is "From Horse to Horsepower" by S A Cheney. Published in 1965 I think with 296p. Check out this site, esp the first para: http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A070639b.htm Hope this helps. Manuel in Oz

Splitdorf was with Edison. I have an Edison/Splitdorf catalogue from the 1950s. Manuel in Oz
