Very nice Chrysler Model 50 Roadster
DLynskey replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
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- 1 reply

North Carolina Squat Banned by Governor
DLynskey replied to f.f.jones's topic in Automotive Legislation
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 -
North Carolina Squat Banned by Governor
DLynskey replied to f.f.jones's topic in Automotive Legislation
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 -

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

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

A Honda. Acts 1:14 "These all continued with one accord ..." Hondas must have been very large cars in those days. Don

Wanted: 1998 Hershey Sweatshirt, size L New or like new,
DLynskey replied to Paul Dobbin's topic in General Discussion
I like the design. Maybe someone can revive it. I would buy one -- sweatshirt or T-shirt. Don -
I hope you weren't planning to leave it with the guy who was to "temporarily" house Cadillac Carl's Caddy. Don

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

References needed for Auctioneer near Yanassee, South Carolina.
DLynskey replied to Restorer32's topic in General Discussion
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 -
I'm trying to imagine driving that rig across the North Carolina mountains. Don

Video of still photos-1940's and 1950's Buicks
DLynskey replied to wildcatsrule's topic in Period Photos - Post WWII
So many colors and multi-color schemes. Today it's black, white or silver. Don -
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

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

1930 Chrysler, roadster, Series 66. Looking for...
DLynskey replied to Whistler's topic in General Discussion
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 -
On the Road - Need Suggestions Colorado to Philly via Kansas
DLynskey replied to supercargirl's topic in General Discussion
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 -
1924 Nash Victoria, $26k, Columbia, SC
DLynskey replied to DLynskey's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
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
