Seal Cove is a must see, and about 1-1/2 hours south of this is the Owls Head Transportation Museum which is my second favorite museum in all New England! Have fun

Thank you too, earlier postings made me think much darker than I should have. My personal apologies to you

I think that you should also consider asking for an investigation into how theses were removed from the Mail and pointing out who is now in possession of what I would think of as stolen goods. Last I knew, that fell into federal prosecutors territory...

I'm pretty sure that you can use it on Studebakers well into the 20's - I had a 1924 Special Six (EK-EL engine) with a similar generator installed because the correct one for that year was made with a large amount of pot metal which had deteriorated. Enzo, this is the generator only, they're vertically mounted at the front of the engine, the starters are a chain drive unit with a gear reduction that went to a clutched sprocket on the front of the crankshaft and were horizontally mounted.

I just came across this: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/708324/776654.html?1501520843 an aftermarket for sure...

What a beautiful truck, I have always loved the look of these! As for the point of the post, I've usually needed to spend between $500 to $1000 on every "buy and drive" car to make sure it's both safe and reliable as well. I can't imagine how much more it would have been if I didn't know how to do the work myself as well. The good news is that now you KNOW it's right and can enjoy your Hudson without being worried.

Looks like we were typing this at the same time... The "radiator badge" you see is an early AAA type and would have a town, county, or state name in the center. For some reason New York State ones seem to have used the overlapping wheels & tires like that badge has.

It has a Model T front axle, but I think it's more than just the headlamps and radiator cover, looking at the fenders I would think that it has a completely new aftermarket body on the car. I think that the pillars and doors look all wrong for factory Ford cars.

The case gives it away, with the globe in the background it is for an early Case Automobile. I would say around 1911-12 vintage.

Sorry, the one that you are looking for is brass

This might be a little clearer, it is a photo of the cap and information from "Motoring Mascots of the World" by Bill Williams. As Keizer mentioned, they suffer from being made of early pot metal which seems to self destruct with age.

I do think it is funny because it seems like everyone assumes you should know what every TLA (three letter acronym) stands for, and not having to fly for business anymore I didn't even think airport code. I hope you have luck finding a Bronco for this, I was having a little fun figuring you meant Oregon and apologize for it...

If it were Portland Maine, I would be able to put you in touch with someone, but my guess is you are referring to the other Portland... the one in Kansas, right? Or is it Texas? Kentucky?

Thank you for the clarification, I would have thought that they were sold as kit cars to get around any motor vehicle safety laws which were in place at the time.

I don't know, but I would make sure that the tours don't exclude kit cars which the Shay might be considered...

Wow, talk about a lucky guess - the last time I looked at a Simca was a solid 25 years ago if not longer.

The logo looks Ford Falcon to me... or Simca maybe?

The Model T guys go for these accessories and you might find someone who can use it because the glass is not broken.

You have to love the wings on that car!

What kind of tractor? As I recall Pennsylvania used Ford differentials but the one I remember was a 5 lug setup. If Ford Falcon it should interchange with the Mustang 6 cylinder cars.

Thank you. I've been collecting emblems, watch fobs, pins, and pretty much anything else for many years now. As mentioned earlier, if you go digging in my profile for the content type pictures you can see most of the collection, emblems being my core interest.

I would guess that this was for hauling very light cargo, hay is my first thought, cotton is another as is tobacco and many other farm products. I agree that this is a rather unique vehicle! Thanks for sharing it.

If you like them and they look good on your wall then I say that they were worth buying. If you are thinking of selling them it will be hard to break even IMO because not everyone looks at these as art on a wall. As parts they might sell for $10 to $15 each assuming that they would have buyers. Now also taking into consideration that someone took the time to frame these I'd say it is worth near what you paid but everyone will value it differently depending on taste. My opinion only, others will vary.

Guess it's time for real pictures of the actual item. Otherwise with 6 postings, all of which are in this very one thread, and no problem posting pictures here (many newbies can't figure it out so quickly) your add smells and sounds like a scam. Time to prove that it is legitimate...

33 or 34 Ford wh is one of the most popular years to have IMO
