The Model T appears to be a 1914

I'll take a guess that the fellow in the uniform is British.

Definately not Franklin. Franklins had 3 bolt rims and the car in question appears to have a Motometer.

Thanks, John, I know that it is DeSoto, so since it looks like 46 Dodge I am going to guess 42 DeSoto. I had 2 42s at one point. Dave

Thanks, Terry, I know it doesn't fit any of our Franklins! Dave

This radiator was in the attic. It's Mopar and I am pretty sure it is off of a 37, 39 or 42 DeSoto. My guess is 1939 Keiser will know. Its not the greatest picture.Dave

To answer some questions, I have no idea what happened to the 51 convertible. My father traded it in on a 65 Rambler Ambassador station wagon. The Caddy probably wound up going to China as scrap. The 54 Citroen is a fine driver, I don't take it on Interstates because people are all driving well over the speed limits. My mother and father and I rode around Paris in Traction Avant taxis, but I always liked the design. Dave

My father was an e-7 chief. Eventually he had 8 hash marks. Also, the car WAS built in Biel. The patent plate read "General Motors SA, Bienne Suisse" I don't think a plate like that with all the data etc in French would have been place on a Detroit creation.

Found the U.S. Forces Germany 1960 plate in my garage. Yes, nothing ever gets thrown away. Also, when my dad got the car, the Dutch plates were still with it. One of them now adorns the front of my 54 Citroen Traction Avant. More proof that nothing is ever discarded! Dave

The car was built in Biel, Switzerland. GM had an assembly plant there until 1975.

Here is a photo for members to enjoy. My mother and father standing in front of their 1951 Cadillac that was built in Biel, Switzerland. The car has no hood ornament, projecting ornaments are against the law in Holland. Also has amber turning signals, Marchal electronics, 30 gallon gas tank kilometer speedometer, patent plate was in French. The car initially belonged to the Belgian ambassador to the Netherlands, which is why it had flag holders mounted behind the front bumper in case it was to be used for parade purposes. My parents and I traveled all over Europe in "Matt". Yes, I wish I had it now! Dave

I need a 1935 Deluxe speedometer, like this one but WITHOUT the Ford oval. This is actually a 1936 speedometer. Dave

Jim, e-mails are not working. Please call me at 443-962-2505 dave

Tom, the one link you sent me is not correct for a 35. Dave

Found some of my pictures, the clock fits 48 and 49 Hudson, probably Commodores since it is electric.
-
The tag on this clock says 48 to 51 Hudson. I know it is not a 50 Hudson and I'm pretty sure it is not a 51. The date on the back of the clock is Aug. 50. Any ideas?
-
Viv, the lock cylinders from Mac's are incorrect for a 35 Ford. Plus I suspect they are made in China. Dave
-
I received an answer to my Ford ignition cylinder search from "Jim in Wisconsin". I clicked on his avatar and submitted a response, but there is no way to tell if he got it or not. There's no e-mail address or phone number other than "allfords2737" Is there someway I can get in touch? Dave
-
Still looking for 35 ignition lock cylinders.
-
Ford, but I'm not sure of the year. The terraced top puzzles me.

Carl, you're correct about the Franklin engines. The "top blower" engines appear with the series 10B in mid 1922. The 'top blowers" continue through 1929. The side-draft engines appear in 1930. All of these were 6 cylinder with the exception of the V12s which appear in 1932. Dave

I'm not a Chevy person, but it looks like someone has reversed the intakes manifold and put a down draft carb on it.
