I showed my truck last year at hershey in HPOF. The judges spent about 5 seconds looking at it. I brought along all the build and option sheet information, because it is strange color combination. Not one question out of the judges. I was kind of disappointed because I was so prepared with all kinds of documentation. I got my board & it's now HPOF certified. I just thought it would be harder than it was. Long story short, I think just about every car that shows up gets certified. The 60% rule is pretty generous. Some cars didn't even have their hoods open. There were certainly a lot of repainted cars in the group, I would have classified them as cosmetic restorations, certainly not orginals. That being said, there also were a lot of time capsules.

Thanks for the advice guys. Talking to some people at hershey is a great idea, especially about pitfalls of each such as part availablity. I'm 5'9 so hopefully I'll be ok, with fitting into a car. I never really thought about oaklands, they are pretty neat looking. Mark, those studebakers really interest me, especially the 7 passenger one. That's about the price range I'm looking in, unfortunately I don't have the budget to go look at it. If I can find something in the 12-15K range that is fairly straight & dependable I would be happy. Do you guys think that's unrealistic? Thanks for all the reply's.

Hi, I've got some interest in 6 cylinder touring cars from the late teens through mid twenties. We have a model A town sedan we love, but I would like a convertible. I've been looking at pictures of both studebakers and of buicks in a few old vintage books I bought I Kind of like the "big 6" studebakers. I think an older restoration would be good for us that needed a little up keep but that would be good to use & would be dependable. Does anyone have an opinion or advice on what a car like that would cost on average? Also are there any AACA guys or publications / books on these types of cars so I can research them a little more? I'm assuming parts may be some what of an issue, which worries me a little. Thanks for your input and time. Bryan Grube

Is this car still for sale?

where are you located ?

Thanks I sent him a pm, he doesn't say if they have the roll down rear window, or where he is located in the profile.

Yea I have been watching it. It's a 30 without wind up rear window & no sidemounts. Nice looking car though, but not what I am looking for.

Restored 1914 gaslight T touring wanted for show & family weekend drives. Correct older restored AACA cars preferred, but I am open to well restored cars that have the right components for the year. Known history a plus. Located in Central PA grube415@dejazzd.com
