You are correct, having a POA should have no bearing on a claim on your fathers currently insured cars. REASON: All 50 states have their own Insurance Departments with rules & regulations that vary by state. If you were to change carriers, these common underwriting rules may cause you problems. Examples: Drivers license and owners vehicle registration must be in the same name& state Named Insured must be the owner of the insured vehicles, All drivers records in the household are considered in underwriting. New pictures and garaging requirements. I think keeping his insurance, with you as a POA until the ownership changes, is you best course if action..

I had a "Monback" once when I was backing up a car trailer with a motor home. When we were done I saw the crushed down spout on the corner of the barn. I said to the "Monback", how did that happen? He said "you hit it". I said, "do you know what guide me back means?" Good Monback men are hard to find!

Question: Do you have an insurable interest? NO, you are a POA to handle HIS affairs. Changing insurance carriers might present a problem. Re-read post #5.

After nearly 50 years of touring in early Ford V8's and other Pre WWII car, I've decided it's time for a back-up camera. Blind spots get bigger, the neck & back get stiffer and it's exciting to back up in crowed places. Modern cars have back-up cameras and I like them. I don't care about judging, but I'd use a fold away screen under the dash when not in use. Have any Forum members tried them yet in 80+ year old cars?Has anyone out there tried to wire up a 12 volt camera on our 6 volt cars? Without radio suppression plug wires, will they work in old cars. Hard Wired or wireless? Any preferences as to type and mounting position. I think the left side license plate mount would give a distorted view, any thoughts or experience? Brand recommendations? Share your experience.

victorialynn2, Search this forum for Collector Car Insurance and you find loads of discussion. However, knowing your situation with your fathers cars, your best bet is to keep what he had and get your name added as an additional insured. Otherwise you could run into a problem without having them all titled in your name.

i like the ghost Packard sign. To bad the photographer missed most of the car, otherwise it would look like an old Parkard magazine advertisement. As they said back then, "Ask the man who owns one".

A great thread, illustrating that the knowledge base of this forum is awesome! Thanks to all who participate. I read it everyday, just like a historical newspaper. Pullman rings a bell with me as possibly seen at Harold Coker's home on the 2013 Glidden Tour. Touring is always a treat, that one in 2013 had TWO Yellowstone National Park tour busses by White, Harold Coker's and Ross Walkup's big yellow 1920's National Park busses driving around full of happy people. Where else would you see such a sight today?

Bob, you need to spend some time with your cars, although this post was entertaining.

Dave, I found found the same car that I wrote about above with the exact same wording an pictures on another web site but the location was Lehigh Acres, Florida instead of Eau Claire Wisconsin or Portland Oregon. The price was much higher too. I had suspisions of "Classified Light" from the beginning and now it appears it's all fake scam ads. I've seen this before where a scam artist borrows the pictures and text form a legimate ad and tries to sell something they don't have at a bargain price. It happens in Real Estate too. Apparently people send them money, or they wouldn't do it. However I've never seen it with their own SCAM web site!

I think Douglas may be correct. All the vehicles are less than half normal prices. I replied to two of their ads, and 10 days later I got one reply. The car was advertised as in Wisconsin and when I expressed interest they sent more pictures with questionable English, I wrote back with a inspector in Wisconsin and got this reply. "

For first time tourists, Gettysburg is a great hub for antique car tours. History, pretty countryside, and fun people in their great antique cars all seeing and learning. One of the best benefits of AACA membership is the opportunity to see the USA in your antique car (Even if it is a Chevrolet) We'll see the Gettysburg Region's neighborhood on back roads. We'll see battle fields, Civil War museums, car museums, Amish country, antique stores, good shopping and good food and be in one of the best rolling antique car shows you'll ever participate in. Once you've experienced a national tour, you'll want to go home and organize a tour of your area and maybe host the 2018 Sentimental Tour for cars 1928 to 1958, that is looking for a host club.

Pictures would do wonders for selling your car,

Victorialynn2, If you have the Registration from NH, you should have no problem in other states. Let us know if you have problems getting a duplicate while a resident of Texas. (That was the problem for my old car seller) Some non-title states use the registrations as titles for vehicles over a certain age, and use titles on newer cars. There is where the problems begin when the tag office looks on their computer as see's that state as a title state without seeing the exception for old cars.

"States rights" allow each state to make their own rules. No matter how stupid they are, it can offer major barriers for buying a car in one state that has different rules for the one you hope to register it in, Example: I sold my 34 Ford Phaeton in Florida (A title state) to a Florida guy who moved to New Hampshire (A non-title state) where he registered the car. Then he sold the car to a guy in Oklahoma (A title state) and moved to Michigan. Unfortunately the seller had lost the NH registration and without a title Oklahoma would not accept a bill of sale. NH told the seller, they only provided duplicate registrations to NH residents and he no longer was one or entitled to get one. *^#+@!

Write to Broadway Title NLAIII@aol.com or call them at 800-464-3222. If they are still in business, they may be able to help. They are familiar with all states rules. Alabama was/is not a Title state and you sell them the car on paper and they register it in Alabama ans send you the tag and registration to apply for a new title in your state. It may help to talk to them. 3501 4 Ave, South Birmingham AL 35222 was he last address I have for them.

A badly modified Corvette made into a home made Bat-mobile wannabe.

I just saw Wayne Carini sell a real nice one at auction. Interesting little cheap car that filled Paris streets when I was there in 1965.

OK guys, that's a wrap, Goodnight

Great looking Terraplane! The day you posted here, there was a pair on Ebay, i hope you got them. Another 34 guy in NC

With a lifetime in this hobby, I've learned to have fun with those questions. What's it worth? Reply: Worth or what would I sell it for? What'll you take for that old car? Reply: How much do you have? You want to trade? Reply: Well it's possible, how many acres do you have? or I'd have to see your house first. When the say would you take $XX,OOO? Reply: Is that a question or an offer. This usually gets a chuckle and I then say, If you want to buy it, you'll have to offer me a lot more than it's worth because, I still enjoy it and am not ready to restore another. Did you know you can probably buy one finished now for less than the cost of restoring one, unless you are like me and like doing them.

I've seen 40 close up pictures of this car and find it to be a greatly maintained car rather than a restored one. Any car will provide stuff to change and improve, like finishing the re-installation of original A/C. I'm afraid it won't fit on my small early Ford V8 size trailer, still checking & measuring. 1/3 the price of the same car in a 1957 Chevrolet!

Two quick ones: #1. A awesome brass Model T Roadster had little press chatter marks in the fenders, which was common in late run stampings, When the owner was complimented on the correctness he was offended because "He paid for perfect". #2 I saw a 1955 T-Bird with 8,000 miles in an estate. Looking under the hood the judges would have croaked, No fancy paint job, just 1955 Ford production finishes. It was nice to see how they were really made.

I remember J. C. Whitney had a large selection of aftermarket imitation ornaments in the 60's & early 70's. I bought a 1934 Ford greyhound radiator cap from them for $10.00. I was happy to get it in those days before people started doing high quality reproductions in stainless steel. Anybody still have an old J. C. Whitney catalog?

Stude Light, I love that photo shop thing with white walls, makes the decision lots lees expensive than buying the wrong tires\ I ilke it both ways, but it's yours and black it is! Looks great..
