I don't know if you're familiar with Griot's Garage products, but I use their rubber cleaner on my tires and they clean up well. following up with a non-silicon based rubber dressing is a good idea too.

What about using rubber cleaner?

From the email I received back from Dave Strohl at Hemmings when I inquired, they are actually looking for anyone under 35 who is looking to keep their cars as classics and not turn them into hot rods. However, since that day (nearly two weeks), I haven't heard back from him. Not sure if they're still looking. I'll email again and keep the forum up to date.

Does anyone know what the logo looked like or have a picture of the original Model T oil, (which I beleive to be Ford Benzoil) ? What I'm really looking for is an original or repro. gallon container.

Cool, Thanks.

My father has a beautiful, but very thin (probably 16th of an inch) chrome plated Ford emblem which goes on the radiator of his model T. We're just not sure the best way to attach it. If we weld it on, it will show burn marks. Any suggestions? (we've thought of mechanic's wire, but figured it will look shoddy)

So now that I've got my 1919 T Roadster, I gotta have a hat (it's in the rules you know ) . I've seen some nice drivers caps out there, but I'm not sure which would be best. I've see the "Big Apple", the "Small Apple" , and some standard 8/4 (Eight-Quarter) caps. I don't think the Big Apple will do, as it's prety ...well, big. Any suggestions?

Cool, thanks everybody. I think I have some basic ideas now

By the way...where is this research center? I don't seem to find a link for it on the main page.

Well, though I'm new to the world of antique cars, I've got a little bit of knowledge...enough to know that if I had mentioned it was a 1919 T Roadster, surely black would've been then only response. I like black, but I want mine to be a little different. Not so different that it no longer looks like a car from it's own era, though. I want it to look sharp, so I'm fishing around for some color ideas that would still have been of the period. I'll check out the Research Center though. Thanks, Joe.

Just looking for some pictures of 1919 colors. If not pictures, specific names of colors would do. Thanks, Joe.
