Some history on this dealership, it was first called Bedford Chevrolet and located at Bedford Ave and Saint Marks Place Brooklyn, NY. In 1939 the dealership moved to 2625 Bedford Ave which is right off Flatbush Ave and at that time they changed the name to Flatbush Chevrolet (the building before this had been a Dodge Plymouth dealer). In the early 1980's the dealership was sold and changed its name to "Black Chevrolet", a year and half later they went out of business.

When you do find a clock is will not be cheap. These clocks are rare and last one I saw for sale was $500.

You need to get in touch with NYS DMV. They have procedure for this. First You will need to pay sales tax on the car (since it was your husbands, you can put that on the form and you will pay no sales tax) and insure it, in order, to start this procedure and then fill out the paper work and send it in with a photo or a tracing of the vin number. DMV will then send you a non-transferable registration while they check the vin out and then after a number of months, they will send you a transferable registration. NYS does not issue titles for cars before 1973. I have done this to get paper work for one of my cars and shortly will be doing it again for another car. NYS is one of the easy states to deal with on this matter.

Wow, what fast service, better then a ☺️parts store!!!!!

A 1955 in much better condition, sold on Ebay this past May for $27,000. So this car is over priced by about 1/2 for the amount of work it needs. Also looks like no p/s or power brakes. A bear to drive. I would like to see the wife this car was ordered for.

Ended all my Hemmings subscriptions 4 hears ago after 40 years. Sad, but its a sign of the times!

Yes it was $90 last year. I thought the same thing you all did when I got my renew notice in the mail today. With all the other costs involved, it just means, over time there will be less and less venders. Also you don't have to worry about the weather, when you sell online. The one thing that helps to keeps venders coming back to Hershey is the cost of postage has gone up and up and the fact that now you have to pay tax, when you buy online. So, you can still get a better deal in person, then online.

I learned all about theses brakes, when I rebuilt this same brake system on the 1952 Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton owned by New York City. That was over 18 years ago, and it still works fine.

All the photos are though the windows of the car. None with the door open. Doe the person posting this ad, really own this car or is it what????

Last February the club voted to change the bylaws. The club also voted to change the date when the meeting has to be held.

Smurf blue, Papa Smurf would love this car!!!

Here is a photo of Neal getting a award in about 1960 for his 1930 Dodge. The photo was taken by a very good friend of his Andy Witnborn, who is still around and still driving his 1933 Franklin. RIP Neal.

Here is a phot of the Hudson version this car.

There is a area in the back of the orange field, past where there are trees planted, that used to have venders in it. Last year the area was fenced off and there were no venders in back of the trees. If this is the place where they want to put these none AACA cars. I say no problem. It is so far in the back, that most AACA members will never even make it back there. There is all this talk about how to get young people into the hobby. Well, if they have to walk though most of the show to get to these cars, it can't hurt the hobby and it might even help. To keep this hobby going, we need new ideas and new people. If this does not work out, then next year, the club just does not do it.

I hope this car gets this much attention on auction day, has it has, here on the AACA web site!!!!

In the link for the auction listing, is a utube video of the car running. Looks like a electric fuel pump has been added.

I was also at the show, great turnout of venders and cars. But the most interesting cars, I found were the ones that were left outside and may never be restored. Two Simca's and a 1941 Dodge convertable. The 1957 Simca Oceane Convertible, the last photo, is a very rare car. Even had a hardtop, on it that looked like it went with the car. Last time I saw one of these cars, was on Ebay and it too was in CT and it sold for $6000. If only I had the room and the time!!!

The future of the hobby, 1984 Dodge mini van.

This is what is the term "station wagon" means. 1959 Mercury

Nice colors

Divco ice truck, think it looked that nice when it was new????

One of the XK-120 he owned was featured in New York Newsday antique column a few years back. It was owned by a person who lived in Long Island. The car had a custom top made by Barris Kustoms on it. My friend, who is 6.1 and owns a XK-120 has so much trouble fitting into the car, he drives it with the back of the front seat removed. In the article in Newsday, it said the guy who owned the car had brought from Mark Harmon, the antique car dealer. The car also had rims and hub caps. The color of this car is "Barris Gold" It says on the internet that he owned three of these cars. This being the last own he got. This car was on bring a trailer's premium service in April of 2020. In the ad for the car, it is written "Gable's Jaguar has already received several big bids."

Here is a photo of the 1953 Chrysler Imperial, owned by the city of New York, I that worked on, getting back on the road a number of years ago. We did have to make new brake springs and replace parts in one of the adjuster to get one of the brakes to work. The brakes were relined by a company that did elevator brakes.

As you can see from this tax photo from 1939, this was parking garage as far back as the 1930's. The problem is that because of the size of SUV's. They were parked on the roof. 50 SUV's on the roof, sounds like a weight problem waiting to happen. One of the workers at the garage, said that the poor guy who died, talked to the owners about the cracks in the walls, and supposedly, they were going to do something about it. Sadly, they waited too long. S

Interesting, both CNN and I think Newsweek did a story about this collection. Amazing then can take time from their other "stories" to report this. I guess auctions of big car collection have become big news!!!
