Do you have a photo of one or dimensions for the distance between the screws on the escutcheon...I have some rumble seat handles. Is it a square shaft?

Saw this REO radiator shell (1st photo) today while at a building salvage place. The guy has a collection of collections as I do, but he will not sell the old car or truck stuff.

Sounds like the same jerk who sold me some "non-rusty" (in his words) '31 Dodge wire wheel hubcaps. Got the package, opened it, pulled the newspaper out that had the parts in it and the piles of rust and broken, smashed and torn hubcap skins fell out on the floor. I should have suspected when the guy did not send me a photo of the back side of the caps. Oh yeah...it was an as is sale, so I should have known better.

Here you go...

No, but your Tucker is better looking than the car (man, am I gonna hear it over that). Mmmm...your kitty is named after a car and our kitty is named after a car's malady...Rusty.

Dean...do you know what prompted your friend to do a restoration on the '32 as opposed to putting it back together and preserving it as you mentioned earlier? Do you think you might be able to scrounge up a photo of the car in it's earlier days or before being taken apart?

I just "googled" 1930 Pontiac and there were a number of them with that lamp on them.

Nice car. As far as "speedy" goes...it does not matter. I just recently found a part for my '31 Dodge that I had been searching for, for 37 years...I just found out about a Tucker that I had been wondering about for 35 years, so hey...what's a year and a half? Thanks for posting that shot. John

I think that there are photos of the center lamp in the trunk.

That is quite an old post that you responded to.

Yours are correct for '32 with the grooves.

I imagine that coupe doors are worth more than sedan doors. Just a guess $200.00 sedan doors - $300.00 coupe doors - $400.00 convertible doors. I know...it's a very wild guess. As we all know, depends on the guy who needs it and how bad.

Thank you so much for that. I'm sorta flashing on that license plate...looks very familiar. It must be the car. John

WOW!! Finally...an answer. I bet that's the car. It was quite dim in the body shop and I never went through the door (liability thoughts, I imagine), so it could very well have been a bronze color. You know, I am 58 now, so my memory has dimmed. The designer's place that I worked at was one house off of Inglewood Ave. The guy's name was Bruno J. Bernauer. Don't know if he is still around, either. I worked there from mid 1975 to mid 1976.

I have mentioned this in a previous post, but thought it would fit in here as well. In about 1975 or 1976 I was working at a building designer's office on 132 Street in Hawthorne, California. I used to walk around the block on my breaks. On the first walk I took, I walked down 132 Street to Inglewood Avenue from the Denny's at Hawthorne Blvd. I went around the corner at the Moose Lodge and walked south. Next door to the Moose Lodge was a body shop. As I walked past the open door, I saw a gold Tucker. It was just inside the door and covered with boxes and stuff. Mostly, I remember seeing the rear egg-crate grille, the six exhaust pipes and the "TUCKER" name across the bumper. Don't know why I never walked in and asked about it. I still wonder where that one went.

Do the caps you are looking for have a cast metal center/spinner setup on a stainless base?

Do you have a photo of a cap that you need? I have a zillion caps, very inexpensive. John

I don't think that I will buy one. I drove a DeLorean once and it rode like a truck.

Too bad the maroon convertible has one for a coupe on it. Notice the downward angle? The part in question is actually the correct light for the sedan and convertible sedan.

1937 Chrysler sedan light.

Look like 1931 to me (at least by the emblem).

Sounds like a great start for a speedster.

1964 Imperial, I believe.

People seem to think so.

Very nice Chrysler...thanks for posting those photos.
