Other than the mascot (ship stands taller on the '38), how can you tell a '37 from a '38 Plymouth?

When I lived in Iowa until around 2003, a landscaping company in Iowa City had a fleet of 1948 through 1953 Chevrolet trucks. Do they still use them?

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.

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.

Nice car. Tiny pics on FB.
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.

I know nothing about it. Just saw the ad and thought someone might be interested. There are more photos in the ad.

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.

Here's a better look, wonder if it could be a Roamer?
Looks a lot like this 1918 Roamer.

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.

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"?

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

I like the design. Maybe someone can revive it. I would buy one -- sweatshirt or T-shirt.

Hey Paul, I can leave something else in that space, but only if you agree to exercise it on a somewhat regular basis.
I was also hoping to be the lucky winner, and had even arrange for a friend to temporarily house it until I could drive it home.
I hope you weren't planning to leave it with the guy who was to "temporarily" house Cadillac Carl's Caddy.

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.

In AACA judging how many points would be deducted for the hood ornament?

This is the first time I have seen a license plate that reads Tenn 39-40.
That's a New Hampshire plate.

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,

YANASSEE is near Beauford or Paris Island if you were a Marine. I live about 2 hours away in Aiken so if someone is really interested I can try to get over there and get a lot of pics for you. I don't want to go on a widl goose chase but will if you really want a picticular car after the list comes out.

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?

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.

So many colors and multi-color schemes. Today it's black, white or silver.

As far as I know the base model had two wheel mechanical brakes and the four wheel hydraulics were an extra cost option.
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.

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.

I don't know if Norman Baker ever had a Duesenberg, but if he did, it would have been purple. Norman Baker was a notorious promoter/inventor/radio "shock jock"/ and peddler of his expensive and ineffective cancer cure during the first half of the 20th century. He always dressed in purple, orchid and lavender, frequently with a white suit. The hotel he bought for cancer treatment was decorated in those colors and he always drove purple automobiles.
How would one of his cars, if properly documented, fare in AACA judging?
