Hi, I've heard horrors about polished (or unpolished) aluminum heads, which would be the correct type used in a 1941 Lincoln Continental but I heard about somebody doing the service of converting regular steel heads to appear to be the original polished aluminum heads, even up to disguising the part numbers. Is this the case? Can anybody let me know a bit more about it and the contact ot who does this service? Thanks, Victor

Hi, I've had two 1941 Lincoln Continental coupes with two types of choke systems: My earlier car (light tan steering column) had a manual choke very easy to operate as you only pulled the knob and it directly closed or opened the carburator butterfly. My current car (a later car with maroon steering column), has what appears to be an electric choke installed on the manifold behind the carburator (that so far I don't know how it operates), but it also shows the regular manual control, but in this case with a lever underneath that when you rotate it, it apparently pulls or retracts the choke rod a bit, but I don't understand how this system should be used in conjuction with the electric choke. Can anybody shed some light as to how these type of choke should be used, both the electric and the manual override? Thanks, Victor

Hi, I have a 1941 Lincoln Continental coupe. I need the original cloth and found a link to Bill Hirsch Automotive's cloth page: https://www.hirschauto.com/bedcloth.htm I don't have the original sample... but the car is maroon and had a medium brown leather and tan whipcord interior originally. 1. Would anyone venture to say which is the correct type of cloth? Fine rib or medium or wide rib? 2. And the correct tone for the tan whipcord for my car? I would appreciate any help, Victor

I got the plates from KRK.... great! Beautiful work! Thanks, KRK!

Mike: I got the tags and they are really fantastic. Great work, and a great service you did to the Auburn comunity by reproducing them. Thanks! Victor

Hi KRK, Do you still have these plates for sale? If so, I am interested in a pair. Thanks! Victor

Gorgeous car!

Thank you, Curti. I just sent him a message. Victor

Hi Can anybody reccomend a parts supplier for 1931-33 Auburns? My 8-100A needs all of the ignition parts plus a few other items like interior door handles. Thanks, Victor

Mike, Do you still have any of these tags for sale? I would like three. I will contact you directly. Victor

I hadn't been in the forum for a while. Gorgeous car, congratulations! Take stutzl6 advice and call him. Nobody I know knows these cars better than John!, and he is very kind on sharing his knowledge! Victor

Good to hear from you, stutzl6. I wouldn't know for sure what car is under the cover, but I guess you are right! The profile appears to be that of the 4 passenger speedster. Curiously, the only pics I have seen of 1928 and later Stutz in Mexico is one sedan and a few phaetons... I haven't seen one of a speedster yet.

Well, Edinmass said that "You can tell by only one clue (refering to 1931 vs 1932).........AJ, you own one, so you should figure it out"... and I never found out. So, AJ, did you? Just curious...

That could be! Thanks for the information!

Thank you, Marty! I will make sure to check which one I have and get the correct one, to have a complete and correct set. Victor

Hi Tom, and thanks a lot for your help. Now I know what I need to look for. It appears I have one and I am only missing the other one. Victor

Thank you guys. Here are pics of what my 1934 has now... I not sure if any of them is correct but I would be happy to have them at least matching... and of course very much so if correct for the year/model.

Hi, My Buick series 50 coupe, 56S, has different headlight lenses. I am assuming one of them broke long ago and was replaced with whatever similar lense they found. What is the correct lens the cars used? Can anybody shed some light? Thanks! Victor

Hi guys: My 1934 series 50 coupe has this radio head which I haven't seen in similar cars. Can anybody help me identify it? Are the knobs correct? I am hoping it is correct, of course, but I prefer to know... and then find the rest of the radio as I only have the control. Thanks, Victor

So, guys.... I still need to find out if this radio head is original. Any ideas?

Thank you guys. If I don't locate the components at a reasonable cost, it will have to remain as is, just taking care to make the emergency brake operational.... but I would love to have it as original, even though it will be a user and not a show car. Thanks again! victor

Hi guys: I am looking for the brake components for my 1934 Buick series 50 coupe. I am not even sure if they are the same for the rest of the senior series, 60 or 90. Are they all the same among the senior Buicks? I am guessing not the cables, but the rest... would it be? The thing is, I have a 1934 Buick series 50 coupe on which, some past owner decided to adapt hydraulics and even discarded the emergency brake hardware, so I am needing the parts to convert it back. Any chance anybody around here may have those parts? Thanks, Victor

Edinmass: I am curious... among a group of Royale owners, there appears to be no concensus on what is the difference of 1931 and 1932 models. Some say the door handles... I have no clue. Can you elaborate on that? Thanks, Victor

Me too! Any information on that? Thanks, Victor

Trying my luck again...
