Don't do today, what you can put off until tomorrow.

I have corrected the topic heading. I'm not looking for "F" photos, I'm looking for "S". .... N, R, and S. In addition, we don't want photos taken in a museum, or at car shows with clutter all around. Thanks for any help.

I'm not married to any one in particular. I like to try them all, but rarely does my bottle of Crown get opened up. Ed, if you'd like to visit, it's yours.

Interesting discussion of Crown, when there are so many more brands that are so much better. JMHO

I agree that the wheels turn this into a ridiculous-looking custom build, and I would appreciate the end results much better if there was some better solution (aside from raping the car in the first place).

The owner of the car sold the chassis/engine. Don't know where it went.

I'm in need of some great photos of Ford N, R, and S. Preferably owned by AACA members, for inclusion in an upcoming story in Antique Automobile. Please respond via email to: West Peterson StelvioGT@yahoo.com Thanks.

!!!! OMG

Where in Arizona?

Actually called a Codicil.... or, at least, also called a Codicil.

This is sooooo true, and the same can be said for dashboards and running boards. If any one of the three look bad, it makes the whole car look bad. A beautiful dashboard can make a so-so interior look much more acceptable. Shabby wheels and running boards can make a beautiful paint job look so-so.

AACA has a Nationals event there every year. The hotel has always been the Embassy Suites

But you're comparing a Duesenberg (doesn't matter what year, they're all basically 1929 models), to a 1934 Packard. The Duesenberg, if restored properly, would very much compare with a Packard of 1929-1931.

Based on the cheap-looking wheels alone, my only guess is that Hot Wheels is getting ready to roll out a new car, and this will be used during some Hot Wheels promotional tour.

Of course, one could always do this if they're not happy with their L-29. I don't recommend it, of course. This was done for Palm Beach "Classic Car" dealer John Staluppi (net worth $500 million). The first photo is the before shot, I kid you not. The entire frame and running gear is late-model Corvette.

I drove our Duesenberg, and felt the same way as you. I've learned since that the problem is that you and I have driven restored Duesenbergs with worn-out steering boxes (and probably other parts). They were restored to look pretty, but without the intention of being driven. Many people (maybe Ed included) tell me that when you drive a properly rebuilt Duesenberg, your assessment would change dramatically. Of course, it still won't compare to the 1934 Packard, but then, nothing before 1934 would compare with a 1934 Packard, and it got even better in 1937 (1935, for the Junior Packards).

"betokens" Love it.

In the Standard Catalog 1805-1942, the photo of the car in this ad appears along with the listing for the Nebraska-built car. For the scope and depth of that book, Kimes and Clark didn't make many mistakes, but this is one of them.

He was only 72 when he died in 2018.

There was also a Fuller built in Angus, Nebraska from 1908-1910. For 1908, their automobiles featured either one of two different four-cylinder engines or a six. Approximately 400 were built. For 1909 and 1910, they offered only the fours. https://history.nebraska.gov/fuller-automobiles-once-manufactured-in-nebraska/ Your car is obviously not one of the Nebraska-built cars.

Your car appears to be a Fuller automobile built in Jackson, Michigan, 1909-1910. They built two-cylinder high-wheelers and a regular-size pneumatic-wheel four-cylinder roadster that looks just like yours. My search on the internet produced only one other Michigan-built four-cylinder Fuller, and it is a touring. I found three Fuller high-wheelers. Your roadster may be the only one known... I would place a value of roughly $20,000, since it appears to be VERY complete.

Members have been wanting this for several years, and I can assure you that it hasn't fallen on deaf ears, but there were/are key things that prevent(ed) it from happening as quickly as we want(ed). I could be wrong (or out of line), but we are getting close to implementing that. We have implemented easy-to-join and or renew membership online.

I bought them for a friend whose car is twice as valuable as my net worth. Good to have friends in the basement.

I bought a 1997 Saturn with 120,000 miles on it. Finally toasted it at around 300,000 miles. Almost 40mpg, manual transmission, roll-up windows, no power seats/door locks. If I could find another in good condition, I'd probably buy it in a heart-beat.

The car's serial number is physically checked by an employee if you are re-titling from another state, otherwise the onus is on you. I have never had a problem talking the registrar into correcting a mistake on a title, but others in Ohio have. Maybe I just look honest, or maybe I just look like I'm so stupid I couldn't pull off any kind of funny shenanigans... I dunno. Heck, I even had success changing the "serial number" completely on my 356 Porsche. It was titled using the engine number, and I had them change it to the car's real serial number. I caught someone on a good day, apparently, because everyone in Ohio that I tell that to just drops their jaw in surprise.
