Im looking for 1910 NY license plates to make a set for my car. Because the 1910 NY plates had riveted numerals I can make a pair if I find enough common numbers. Please take a look. All plates considered any condition from nice to rough. Mike mawest729@gmail.com 585 738 1541 THANK YOU!

Steve Google "French Lake Auto Parts Minneapolis MN. Ask for the owner and tell him you need stainless steel buffed ect. He has a excellent guy . Ive done business with him and he is a standup guy. I don't have his name or number. He has other great reference's on this site.

Hi Deanna , Has the Studebaker bee sold? Mike at mawest729@gmail.com

It looks like Model A Ford apple green.

It will not work. On the rolled tanks with flat ends I cut both ends out leaving a 1/2 inch flange. Clean out the muck , sandblast it clean, make new ends and soldier them in. Seal with gas tank sealer. The few tanks Ive done , I gutted them of baffles. The tank is on the back and haven't ever heard a slosh.... I don't hear Model A Fords tanks slosh either.

Joe, The book saying the motor oil capacity confirms what you have been saying. Mitchell had a great advertising program and paid for it by cutting corners on the chassis of the car. Three quarts of oil probably leaked out in one 100 mile trip.

A few odds and ends...

a few more ....

Here are a few. The last picture is no race car. It was my dad when he was 14 in 1946 lining up for a parade in his dads antique car that I have in the garage now. 1902 Crest. (3.5 hp) smile...

Billety , That's a old line of bullshit all the jerks in the world repeat because they heard some fat cat they looked up to say it..... Its makes me smile... Have great day.

I have a few bearings including a NOS one that Gordon Howard sold me a few years ago. If you still need one, let me know Ill get one out. Mike

Sold- Going to the LONE STAR STATE!

Interesting marriage. What is the price?

Looks almost like the Franklin truck I started with. It was a 7 pass sedan that the body was damaged and removed. I wanted a body that would resemble a period service truck. I borrowed the look from a Model A Ford deluxe pickup that only 300 were made. I now have the chrome rails and ball topped posts for the top of the box. The truck has a overdrive unit from a Packard installed behind the original 3 speed transmission. She will run very comfortable 65 on the interstate highways where its safe to do so. The red model a ford was in Rochester its whole life and was the model for this Franklin box. The truck gets plenty of attention.

Al Ill measure in a bit. Mike

Here is a super nice old restored Rubes double twist horn with new brass bug screen. The upper bell measures 5.5 inches top to bottom. The horn measures 10 inches overall top to bottom. It was restored about 30 years ago and has been in the cupboard since. You will not be disappointed. NEW PRICE $225.00 PLUS FREE SHIPPING IN USA.

I have NOS starter and generator tags from the 1930s . I may have the one you need. I bought a Auburn from Anderson Ind. The guy worked at Delco.

Yes Steve It had a stainless steel ring on the face(see the small holes. Im not sure what secured it to the tire. Do a little checking around . It cant be too difficult to reproduce. Check with Dick Pratt he may know.

Joe, Those Franklin brake line banjoes look great! Lets have a visit soon! Mike

Id love to see some pictures of it. He might be unpleasantly surprised if it went to auction in these times. These cars have n=been sliding..

Where is the motor located? Mike

Im sorting out some parts that Ive had a while and will be listing here for sale Here is a rear spare tire cover from a 1932 Franklin sedan. Shown in the cover is a 650/16 Custom Classic tire. This is not a generic cover but a real Franklin Accessory steel tire cover. It will need to be media blasted but is straight and no rust out. $400.00 These are scarce. Mike West 585 738 1541

How much would shipping be to NY 14487? Or are you going to Chickasha?

John, Thank you for thinking of me. The car sounds like a great opportunity! Its out of my wheelhouse and I wouldn't be a player. Again thank you. Mike

Joe , I have several tachs and have the one I want to use. I wonder if they could be adjusted to read more correct. I haven't found much info on them. The so called expert I called said get some stickers and change the numbers to half of what the say.... OK I can do that without a sticker.
