I have a pair of these 1931-33 headlights marker Parabeam on the light body and the lenses, They have a grommet for a badge bar to go between them and a blue/green jewel on the outsides. They attach to the light bar with a large nut and looks like they had a chrome sleeve that went verticle down to the frame for the wires to run up through like a 31-32 Franklin or other early 30s cars. These are a real mystery to me. Any help would be appreciated. Mike

This sidemount cover came to me with Franklin parts. I know its not Franklin. Any ideas? The center hole measures 19 1/4 inches, The diameter across the back is 28 inches and measure inside where the tire tread would fit in the center is 30 inches. Notice the finder hooks to assist installing and removing the cover.

Its listed in the roster of the franklin club -the owner.

I need one new or very good condition used white wall tire that has the extra white ring like shown in the picture for this car. I have 5 like new. Please contact Mike at 585 738 1541 mawest729@gmail.com. Thank you!

The bore diameter is 1 3/8 inch where it goes into housing that holds this lock. The distance from the underside of the cap to top of the dogs that engage the housing are 3/8 inch . Th OD at the top of the housing is 1 7/8 inch . Im not selling this exact one as the keys are Franklin script but I have many more. The locks with no keys(you get the keys made) are $125.00 The locks that have keys and work perfect are $200. They are all made by OAKES>

Dave does it look like this one? Mike mawest729@gmail.com

Ive seen the wheels ,They are Motor wheels like 29 Packard and Franklin used. Eric is a great guy, and will not overcharge you if you need them! Mike The wheels look like these )

No idea Ill see if I can get to them. today Mike

Curt , If I can get to the right box, I have a good supply of these. Mike West

In NY , without any paperwork , if you have had the car in your possession 12 months or more ,you will be given a temp. registration. After several weeks you get in the mail permanent papers if no problem is found . Very easy and cheaper that what some of these advertisers want for old obsolete papers.

Dave , 1931-32 Auburns used a 37 inch trunk rack, FYI. Mike

The DARK SIDE is FRAUD. People buy them and register a car the same year and model as they have when they don't have papers. The kicker is like in NYS , every year a new registration card is issued and there are chances that another car is "out there" already licensed with those same #s. Its foolish to pay that money for a old document and take the chance of trouble. I know of an example where a collector changed the #s on his car to match the old papers he bought only have the DMV alert the police that either his car or the other one that showed on their computer was a fraud.

Why does anyone want these old titles or registrations without the car??? Please tell me. Its so easy to register a car today without any previous paperwork.

Long Gone...

Carl, \ Thanks for the message back. Im always curious if the customer is happy. Mike

I need a 6 Cyl brass era timer (1909-15) for a project I am working on. Restoration not a problem. Mike West 585 738 1541 mawest729@gmail.com Thank you!

Is this DB roadster a 27? It hasn't been moved in over 5 decades.

Im looking for the roster holder (at least in the past) Jay Simpson. Im not even sure I have his name correct. If you are a Crest owner and familiar with this man, please email me. Thank you Mike West mawest729@gmail.com

Also notice the 31 car has a sunvisor built into the body and doesn't have a embossed body line in the hood and cowl.

No That's a 1931 . Notice the hood has only 3 vent doors?? The 1932 cars have 4 equally spaced . Other than that its similar.

Yes it did . I have a full set also available of 6 just like these. No looked like a good one though.

No idea....

Carl, Glad you can use these tags. I want see them hanging on the dashboards od Auburns.

Call Tom Stewart 585 738 1988 He has barns full of early V8 parts.

Hi Curt , You are right about Jays work, all first class. No idea on that tag. Where was it attached to?? Glad you are getting the tags . Email me your address and Ill get the tags coming your way! Mike
