  1. From the headlights I would say it's a 1928 Model 52. It looks nice, but if the seller doesn't know the year or model it's not a good sign. Don
  2. Be careful flashing your lights at offending drivers. I used to do that but don't anymore. I don't need some idiot making a U-turn and shooting at me as I've read about many times. Don
  3. If you click on the tiny pictures they should come up larger. Then save each to your computer and you can view them, enlarge them, etc. Don
  4. I know nothing about it. Just saw the ad and thought someone might be interested. There are more photos in the ad. Marketplace - 1930 Hudson 1930 Hudson Great 8 Roadster | Facebook Don
  5. It's popular in South Carolina, too. I saw a Suburban yesterday riding so high in the front that I don't know how the driver can see over the hood. The other fad among those trying to prove Darwin's principle is colored lights on the front -- the worst offender being red lights. Consider an old fart like me about dusk on a foggy evening trying to turn right onto a busy highway. I look right and see red lights - obviously the tail lights of a car going the other way. I look left and see more red lights -- presumably more tail lights. Aha, coast is clear!! I pull out only to discover the second set of red lights was on the front of a lifted Jeep (somehow Jeeps seem to be the most numerous offenders) headed straight for me. I just have a low tolerance for stupidity. Don
  6. This looks like a good car for the money. I had one like it years ago and would be seriously interested in this one if it weren't 2700 miles away. Don
  7. I guess it's a little OCD showing, but every time I pull up the forum (and that's many times a day), I see the red banner regarding legislation that "effects" our hobby. Shouldn't the word be "affects"? Don
  8. A Honda. Acts 1:14 "These all continued with one accord ..." Hondas must have been very large cars in those days. Don
  9. I like the design. Maybe someone can revive it. I would buy one -- sweatshirt or T-shirt. Don
  10. I hope you weren't planning to leave it with the guy who was to "temporarily" house Cadillac Carl's Caddy. Don
  11. On cars and trucks of this era there is usually a date code on the safety glass. I don't know if it's true for buses, and I don't know if there is an intact piece of glass in this bus that you could read a date code from. Don
  12. In AACA judging how many points would be deducted for the hood ornament? Don
  13. I plan to attend the Greenville, SC meet as a spectator. I would like to confirm the schedule so I don't miss the car show. Thanks, Don
  14. I'm about an hour from Yemassee and could also help if I can avoid a family kerfuffle (I have sister who's a hoarder so I'm familiar with that). Maybe help with identifying the vehicles? Don
  15. I'm trying to imagine driving that rig across the North Carolina mountains. Don
  16. I believe it's in Kentucky, not Tennessee. A good thing it's not nearer to me. It would be hard to resist. I love it. Don
  17. So many colors and multi-color schemes. Today it's black, white or silver. Don
  18. I don't know about the cost, but the 4-cylinder models came either way. I bought a 1928 Model 52 from the original owner, and he bought the Model 52 specifically to get the 2-wheel brakes. He, like many others in the time didn't trust having brakes on the front wheels. They were afraid in a panic stop you would lose control if the front wheels locked up. Don
  19. With bullet headlamps, no cowl lights and no front brakes it's a 1928 Chrysler Model 52. In the old photo you can see the parking light bulbs in the upper portion of the headlight reflector. Don
  20. This forum is so busy that probably no one reads all the posts. Most scroll through the titles and only click on the topics that look interesting. The subject "Whistler" doesn't look interesting. Try changing the title (if you can) or reposting with a title like "Wanted, for 1930 Chrysler Air cleaner, Steering Wheel Levers, etc." Also if you keep scrolling down there is a specific forum for Chrysler parts for sale and wanted. This will catch the attention of people who might have Chrysler parts. For the second question you might start a new separate post with the title "Trying to Contact Bob Zetnick" Good luck with your hunt. Don
  21. If you take Interstate 80 it's worth a stop at the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum located at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop, the "World's largest truck stop" at Walcott, Iowa. The truck stop is a wonder itself with 900 parking places, a huge store selling any accessory a trucker can dream of, a restaurant and all the amenities you would expect at a truck stop. Additionally there is a barber shop, a dentist office, a chiropractor, a movie theater, a library, a laundromat and even a dog wash for the trucker's canine traveling companion. The Trucking Museum in a separate building on the site has a large, well displayed collection of trucks from the last 100+ years. In July of each year they host the annual "Truckers' Jamboree". Don
  22. Sorry. I guess I missed it the first couple of times. I hope someone gets it who will preserve or restore it. I would hate to see it with a GM V-8 and automatic tranny. Don
