Mmmm...I was under the impression that suicide doors were named so because they were dangerous if you were exiting the car from the driver's side and a car came up from behind and squished you between the door and door jamb.
For a while I was selling, selling and selling some more on ebay (antique auto parts). My mom sent me a t-shirt that says, "I didn't lose my mind, I sold it on ebay". She may have been correct.
Check out this local ride. The Tucker Sno-Cats are made right here in Medford, Oregon. This one has seen some real action. Not for sale, but very cool.
Man, oh man! Those photos of the Toronado are awesome. The dashboard looks so like a real life-sized car, I can hardly believe it. If you were here I would give you a gold star.You ARE the man!!!!
Bob...Very nice job. I have a real soft spot for the 1931 Chrysler products. I only have one thing to mention (because I can be a stickler for detail). It looks to me like the bumper bolt washer on the rear bumper is upside-down. It should match the direction of the radiator emblem with the pointed part pointing down. Just to inform...not to bicker.
Mmmm...maybe you had the correct cap after all? I found this in one of my books. It may or mat not be correct. The 1930 Plymouths in San Diego all had the cap like the one I sold you. Now I am uncertain about the cap. Anyway, like I told you, I have a money back policy on all my parts.
