Apparently a judge got into this car and took it out of gear... Not owner fault, nor mechanical fault.

My newest car is more than 20 years old, and I've been driving with my high beams on all the time for quite some time now. Same results as you. Not one time has someone flashed me. My thought is that my high beams are much dimmer than the modern low-beam lights.

That's an interesting thing to say, since there actually was a total eclipse of the sun in Nova Scotia in both 1970 and 1972, when the song was written.

Dietrich Individual Customs - 32/33/34
West Peterson replied to packard12man's topic in General Discussion
Nope. Not the same car. It was NOT at the centennial. The one you are referring to is Ralph Marano's, and is the only convertible sedan with jump seats. Ralph purchased the car right after the centennial, and had it restored. -
Hilton Head - Classic Packard Rolls into Pond
West Peterson replied to AJFord54's topic in General Discussion
The restoration was finished in less than a year. It competed for AACA's Zenith award soon after. -
What's more comical, or cartoonish, is seeing a giant next to a single-cylinder car. While the Packard is a step below in size to the Olds Limited, these "Mutt 'n Jeff" photos of a 1911 le Zebre and a 1910 Packard is fun to see.

Trailer Brake Controller
West Peterson replied to Bill Boudway's topic in Garages, Trailers, and Towing
I just replaced the Reese controller in the Avalanche with the Tekonsha Prodigy. It also came with a dedicated pigtail specifically for the 2003-???? Chev trucks, from unit to fuse box, so no splicing of any wires. Works perfectly. See ya'll in Charlotte!! -
For a general's license plate, perhaps???

Best selling era of collector cars per Hagerty
West Peterson replied to 31Buick96S's topic in General Discussion
Expanding the acceptable years doesn't work in regard to adding membership. Just ask CCCA. -
The company name itself throws up a red flag!!! Devious

Period images to relieve some of the stress
West Peterson replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
Someone has been hunting for this car for several years. -
As editor, I've seen them all. My wife bought me a button that says "I'm silently correcting your grammar." That kind of shut me up. I tend to correct much less, now (outside of the magazine) All of the above, plus.... Expecially Concourse LeMans (in reference to the race) Camero El Dorado Belair Carman (Ghia) pick up year of the car, followed by its color (ie 1966 Black Mustang) marquee body styles capitalized (along with a plethora of other non-proper nouns) renig (instead of renege) chomping (at the bit), vs champing peaked (instead of piqued)

Don sold it to Frank. Went to auction after Frank died. I believe it no longer resides in the USA.

I've supplied parts to reproducers a few times. In all but one case, I didn't need the part, nor did I ever ask for one in return. In all cases, a free part was sent to me as a thank you. Supplying a good part to be reproduced is a good way to "give back" to the community, not just the company making the parts so that we can restore our cars.

What a difference blackwalls & wheel discs makes (on a '35 Packard)
West Peterson replied to 1935Packard's topic in Packard
Cap is actually incorrect for 1933. That one is for 1934. Unless they changed halfway through 1933????
