Fun day driving a piece of heavy iron. The rain was in the JN Duesenberg roadster. The morning sunrise is a V-16.

I know where you can get fenders and side mount brackets.........not worth the money of effort.......let the car be the car.
FYI- At 57k on the clock......the car is totally worn out and will need EVERYTHING. That engine has no air filter.....it's been sucking dust and dirt since day one. Look at my signature block........I have owned a bunch of similar cars. If you need help on any particular thing just ask. Before you tear anything apart....ask. We can keep you out of trouble. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS FRAGILE AND DIFFICULT TO SOURCE. Been there, done that.

Thanks for the clarification Ed - do you happen to know if snap rings were only originally painted, chromed, stainless, etc., or were they available in all finishes?
Depends on the car, year, and series. Most of the time, they were chrome.

David Dunbar Buick also died broke in a flop house teaching night classes till the day he died.

The first photo above is NOT a beauty ring, it’s a snap ring. Beauty rings ONLY fit drop center wheels, which basically started in 1932. We spun our rings……..out of stainless. Fun project, and we had a decent return and sold them out in less than a year.

George……if Bob bought your old trailer for 5k, it’s obvious he over paid! 😂Renting a truck is a very reasonable alternative if there is a place close by. It’s a much better value than actually owning one if you use it less than 30 days a year.
In many places you can’t rent a one ton truck and tow with it……….Enterprise Truck Rental is very good if you have access to them.
Hauling high dollar cars, I won’t run thirty year old equipment……….but for a seldom used hobbies, it’s a reasonable choice.

Wish I could attend. Instead I’m stuck here at the Tiki bar in Palm Beach having a liquid lunch. 😉

That's a lot of money for a car that's three different colors.
Matt……read the ad carefully……..it’s for EVERY surviving 1917 Cadillac on the planet………..and it’s still on the high side. 😏 -

I like to use cornhead grease in the steering box. it has a lot less tendancy for leakage.

It won’t lubricate and will score the surfaces of the worm among other things. It’s not the stuff to use in a steering box.-

I think brass will be the future spot most young folks to get into the hobby. A F150 and a small trailer with a T or other small early brass car is very affordable. I wouldn't haul a V-12Packard or Pierce without a dually and a diesel. Even at three years old for a truck and trailer its still way over 100k. The hobby is NOT going away, just changing......and as a dinosaur I detest change. I think it will be much more common for smaller local tours where one doesn't need to haul a car for three days to start enjoying yourself. Time will tell.

m-mman have you priced new trucks and trailers lately? It’s more like 175k for a truck and trailer, especially for the stuff that can haul big iron. In the end, transportation costs whether commercial or private is becoming a huge factor in owning a car.

Interesting…….especially the ride height. Hunter Alignment company owner is a world class pre war car collector and a judge at Pebble. Overall the car is reacting like it should…….with almost no wheel return. At least you know you’re in the ballpark and the car has no bad habits. I would expect that if the suspension is tight it will loosen up in less than 100 miles.
