The new California state motto should be……”please double flush………after all this place IS a sxxt hole.” No offense to my California friends………….who live in million dollar homes that are 800 square feet.

And you thought I was just another pretty face!😎

Gary……the White is headed north soon….near you. AJ took it in for me, he needs a car that runs.

Thanks John…….. that puts the odds to Slim to None…….and Slim is on vacation. I shall take a look anyway, I think I have a half a dozen of them.

Only the center section has any value. I’ll be at the shop tonight the first time in about six months. I’ll check my cabinet. 👍

108 in the shade….. what’s the problem? Just drive it in the sun! 😂 I know this sounds crazy. Here in Florida it’s so hot in the summer I drive a lot of my own cars at 10 pm. I bought a half a dozen Snap-On magnetic LED flashlights and stick them on the front bumper. They work great. Probably put 50 miles on the 1917 before I had the headlights working. Remember….. you need to thermal cycle that engine bunch of times. A short 1 mile ride at 10 PM won’t hurt anything and it should be comfortable enough that it’s healthy for you.

Answer is probably all of them………

Be sure to set the timing of all the screws the same…….otherwise you will get a deduction at Pebble! 😏

If Woodward is a major thoroughfare that would cause a traffic nightmare, that is the one they were trying to close. What the ultimate result is, I do not know.

I am not familiar with the area, but I was told they were shutting down the two lane street in front of the museum. This was ongoing and fluid , but my last understanding is that is what is occurring. I may be misinformed or have old information. I do know that the field is full and there are a bunch of great cars attending.

Thanks, I knew he wasn’t well and had not heard anything for years.

Not much debate about blocking it off. One hundred years ago, you purchased gasoline, today you purchase fuel. Heat content, energy content, and specific gravity are all substantially different. The effect on carburetors is somewhere from three to fifteen percent regarding stoichiometry. Reducing the heat simply makes the car run better, and helps to cut down on vapor lock. It’s worth the time and effort to block off. A note of caution…….manifolds can be brittle and warped………unless already involved in removing or servicing the parts, leaving them alone is perfectly acceptable if you don’t have running problems. It’s possible to make more problems than you already have.

It’s just two part epoxy. Filling a crack under no stress or exposure to heat usually will hold up ok. It will become unstable over time if exposed to fuel, oil, or heat. Works well in certain applications. Be sure there is no oil in the casting by heating it in an oven for a few hours at 300 degrees. Too many people try and use it as a cure all…….and it isn’t. They make multiple products, go to their web site and figure out which is best for your application. Practice with it on something else before you use it on your part.

Look at the photos …….solid car to restore? I want what he is smoking. Maybe only half a dose.

Is Ray still living?

Sharp eye Walt……I missed it. 👍

Is it a seven passenger……does it have jump seats?

The top three auction companies consider higher end cars over 500k. Shipping the Packard from Texas to Pennsylvania is somewhere between 3800-4300 bucks. Add in cost of detail, sorting, and take into consideration weather Hershey is the best location to sell that car……(I don’t think it is.) Add in a ten percent listing fee………and you going to have a expense of 25 percent to sell the car. It appears to be a seven passenger touring…….if so, recent sales numbers will have a hard time approaching six figures……even for a nice car like that.

Most auctions will only take that car at no reserve……unless you go to a local farm or general auction company. Nice car, market has been fairly soft on them lately. I would recommend a broker to sell it. Nice clean cars like that with good provable provenance will sell fairly quickly at current market numbers. Good luck with the sale. Welcome to the site.

Common over branding and badging done for/by an inexperienced collector who feels they must add or embellish something that is conservative and refined with good taste. Less is always more with high end motor cars……….quality never goes out of style. Recently Peg & I went for a ride in my employer’s everyday car……it had a large letter B on the grill. Upon sitting down in the Monstrous sedan she commented….”Wow, what a nice Buick!” Of course the Flying Spur V-12 was just a bit more high end. I let out a whoop and almost passed out. The Boss turned to me and said….”She isn’t a car girl…..”

Hell, at least their asking a number that isn’t in the stratosphere……….remove a few zeros, and I’ll take it.

It’s local to me, and have never seen it. It’s a hot mess…….

Shame on you……and stone guards!

That thing is a black hole………..the definition of emptiness.

No Peerless, not an Essex, and its not a Lycoming power plant.
