Last time we changed the air filter on my Ram Diesel there was a 4 ft snake skin in the filter.

I would say they are about 17 years old and in great shape.

Will pay $6000 or more for a complete restorable pair with tracks.

Client of ours years ago told me his Dad had a smelting operation in Northern PA. In the late 1930's he bought 1000 cars for scrap to be melted down. He paid .78 cents each for the 1000 cars.

Art Brummer (now there is a name out of the past) told me that when he started buying antique cars in the early 1960's he would find a barn full of cars and he would take everything except the 4 door convertibles. There was little market for them except as parts cars for Roadsters and Phaetons. Happily times have changed.

What a thrill it was to have a '49 Olds woodie wagon we restored as the featured car in one of the first CRANKSHAFT mags published. The car was never shown and we wondered what had become of it. Now we know and appreciate the feedback.

You need to consult with members of the Professional Car Society. They will have both the most info for you and the most potential buyers.

You cannot actually polish chrome. It is way too hard for that. All you can do is clean it very, very well.

Dad was in jail for disorderly conduct when Pearl was attacked. The next day the warden went around and told all those locked up on minor charges they would be released if they wanted to sign up. Dad lied about his age and signed up. A few weeks later he was on a ship and on his way to New Guinea. His first time ever on a boat. That generation well deserves being called "The greatest generation".

I have a 140 DHC in my home garage that I have owned now for 55 years. It was last driven in 1969. I'll get to it someday.

When I was nerding out at Franklin and Marshall College one of our favorite cheers was "Rah, rah, hit them hard. Make them relinquish the oblate spheroid."

One rule we have that we will not budge on is that we will only paint a car, or anything else, if we are first allowed to strip it to bare metal.

Just starting a full restoration to show of a '53 Eldo.

We tried that route for a different car and were told the minimum run would need to be 2000 pounds.

We found a pair for a '60 several years ago so there is hope.

We will pay a ridiculous price for a pair of restorable '59 Cadillac bucket seats with tracks and trim.

I think GE's info is just wrong. The stats for 1900 and 1917 can't be the same. EVs have never, ever been very widely used even going back to the turn of last century. I'm afraid there are too many people in the media that are trying to put out erroneous historical info today to try to sway the public toward EVs. If the American people want EVs, then the market place, not the White House, not the media, not bogus climate change propaganda will make it happen.
In 1920 there were over 1750 electric delivery vehicles registered within the city limits of Chicago.

We restored a 1928 Autocar. I was surprised that it had acetylene head lamps and no electric starter as last as 1928. It was serial # 1 for '28. It repaid the time we lavished on it by breaking my right arm.

But, with the 1001 how many '33 or '34 open Packards (not other marques) are available right now at a competitive price? I understand the concept of restoration costs forcing many examples to be parts cars but with this one I have a hard time seeing it not getting restored by someone at least in the garage (maybe I'll call you if it's still sticking around next summer😁). Thankfully it's not a coupe that someone is about to torch the roof off of....
We would entertain offers in the high 30's.

And just to tweek what was stated re painted or chromed grill shells may I point out that the '32 900 had the option of painted or chromed grill shell. Also the 900 and the 12 shared identical paint schemes, proper for the 900 and 12 only.

Car has all new woodwork as well as new skins for the doors and rumble seat lid. Owner bought it not really understanding what he was getting into. In a perfect world someone would buy it and have us restore it to concourse standards but in any case it needs to go. The chassis had a very amateurish restoration in the 1970's and as they say "it ran when parked". Who ever buys it gets all the advice they can stand. If there is one car I know it is the '32 900 and the '33 1001.

Is the cost of spaces determined by the AACA or by HERCO ?
