  1. To my amazement, I am getting very little interest in the cars I have for sale. I have gotten very little interest in the vehicles I am trying to sell. ???????
  2. Thanks for the comment...My camera is not working properly...so I have posted pics I took awhile back....yes the demand for cars of the twenties and thirties is poor. I am very surprised to encounter this situation. By the way I have 2 or 3 times the $ in these cars than I will ever get out; however, I did not buy them as investments.
  3. Thanks guys....F&J, I agree with you in that "baby boomers" like myself liked to restore, piddle with cars of the 20's, 30's and now the younger generations don't care much for these cars. I remember when a guy would say "if you ever want to sell that car, let me know". Another note; I have more in the cars in my collection than I could have gotten even in a very good market. I would like to see them get into hands that will preserve and improve them.
  4. I am trying to sell some of my vehicles on this site and have talked to several local collector/restorers relative to selling cars. It seems from what I am seeing that the market for early cars; especially those of the twenties and thirties is not very strong. I am posting this to see what the rest of you collectors think. Let me know...Thanks.
  5. Folks....I need to move these cars....marking down the prices to Lincoln $16,000....Studebaker $9,000....Plymouth $24,000...Let me know.
  6. A few notes on the Lincoln. As was mentioned in a previous post I acquired the car in 1988/89. I have been through it mechanically including rebuilding it's motor. I have a copy of the owner's manual, the service bulletins' and the parts book. The car was used in several hollywood productions. I have a copy of one of the movies "The Kansas City Massacre"; which you can google. I have a letter from the Ford Motor Co. showing it was assembled on Feb 28, 1928; and was shipped to the Edward Lowe dealership in San Francisco on April 6, 1928. I also have quite a few extra parts including a transmission.
  7. Here are the prices I am asking for my cars.....1928 Lincoln $18,000 ...1921 Studebaker $12,000....1928 Plymouth $28,000......or best offer'
  8. I do want to move these cars....I was hoping there would be more interest in the Atlanta area.
  9. It has come time for me to pare down my collection. I have 4 cars I want to get into good hands. They are as follows: 1921 Studebaker Light 6 touring, a 1928 L Lincoln type 147A, a 1929 model A Ford tudor, and a 1931 Plymouth PA delux sport roadster. I am working on getting some pictures. The Studebaker is basically a very well preserved HPOF car, that needs a little work to get running again. The Lincoln is very solid mechanically (I rebuilt the engine and went through it mechanically). You can see pictures of it I posted several years ago on this site by googling 1928 Lincoln type 147A then images. It is the maroon one; plus you can read the site comments. The model A needs another ground up restoration; it is basically all there with a professionally rebuilt engine. The Plymouth was restored by Leo Gebart and I bought it at auction in Auburn; it has side mounts trunk rack, rumble seat, wind wings and other options. It is a good driver; however, it has been sitting for a while and needs the early hydraulic brakes overhauled plus being woken up from sitting for several years. I have plenty of extra parts for all the cars; plus, owners manuals parts books, service bulletins. Let me know on this site if you have any interest. Harry Jenkins
  10. Richard....Thanks for your suggestion!
  11. My camera is messed up at the minute. It would be about 25+/- lbs 3 cubic ft. +/_
  12. I am trying to clear out my shop of a quantity of parts I obtained in the past. These include 340 ( 5 fuses per pack ) packets of Whitaker automotive fuses, packages of Milton valve extensions ( both plated brass and rubber ), KD tools (new in the unopened pkg> ) such as "Deluxe 6" Dent Puller, Bendix Drum brake spring tool, Swivoil filter wrench, and many others. Plus, various other parts too numerous to mention. I want to liquidate all of it together. Is anyone interested; or can you suggest a vendor that might have interest. Thanks in advance
  13. Don't know about the truck...but if you go on Google earth; the bldg is still there.
  14. I thought this was a unique engine.
  15. Again, the drive arrangement for the distributor / water pump / generator; appears very similar to the design developed by Zeder, Breer and Skelton ( Walter P. Chrysler's "Three Musketeers) for the Studebaker Light Six ; which was the last vehicle they designed for Studebaker before they left the company.
