Dietrich Individual Customs - 32/33/34
ericmac replied to packard12man's topic in General Discussion
So here we have evidence that "20 were made and all 32 survive." Please, I have absolutely no idea how many Dietrich cars there are but I'm betting there are at least as many as were originally produced. -

Did that car get restored? More importantly, did the owner or driver make it? -
1935 Studebaker sedan - $26,000
ericmac replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I'm looking at this immediately after looking at the listing for the '33 Chevy for $6200. This is a much rarer car and there's no way the Chevy would look as good as this after a 20 K restoration. And yeah...those Studebaker doors. Awesome. -
I just had the wheels of my '13 Ford done by Stutzman. It was about a 5 week turnaround. They are true perfection.

1921 Oldsmobile Model 46 - I ask myself, Why?
ericmac replied to Stude Light's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I find it interesting also that Olds was not carried forward as the premier brand at GM instead of Cadillac, particularly when one looks at the Autocrat and Limited models of the brass era. Maybe that's just me. -
I want to complete the mechanical restoration of my '13 T and tour more over the summer.

I received my copy. Just as with issues 1-4 it is exceptionally high quality and is well worth the investment of time and money. I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have read of it it. I tend to be a cover-to-cover reader and have not been disappointed thus far. To me the real trick of a car magazine is to pique my interest in a car that would otherwise generate a "meh" reaction from me. Crankshaft does this very well. I encourage you all to give it a try.

1914 Chalmers Model 24 Racecar $235K
ericmac replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I want it. Nope...I don't have the 235k but to me this is worth every penny. I'd have a permanent grin smeared on my face driving it. Best buy the PowerBall tickets! -
'41 Cadillac Fleetwood - $8,000

I wish it was in Michigan. I like it. -
Well wishes for Steve Moskowitz during the next several weeks.

All the best to Steve and all in the AACA family who may be facing a surgical or other intervention. We're with you! -
Period images to relieve some of the stress
ericmac replied to Walt G's topic in Period Photos - Pre WWII
I probably mentioned this somewhere before, but I understand there was someone in the LA Duesenberg dealership who was partial to that yellow over green color scheme. Evidently J-111 was also painted a similar color combination when new. Wisely, when the Gilmore Car Museum restored the car they elected to change the colors to blue. I doubt anyone would argue it was an improvement. -
seeking info on Dr. Art Burritcher, AACA member
ericmac replied to PFindlay's topic in General Discussion
Actually, in the world of psychology those of us with a Ph.D. are indeed referred to as "Dr." both professionally and socially. After more years of college and an exceptionally rigorous postdoctoral internship in comparison to a medical doctor, a dentist or a nuclear physicist, I think we've earned it. On the contrary, most of my casual acquaintances are surprised that I have a doctorate as I prefer to be called simply "Eric." Now...back to cars. -
My first car was this 1947 Nash 600 sedan. My parents bought it for $200 and it was used (used up) until I finished college in 1989. It was already considered an old car, indeed an antique car at the time. Great topic by the way.

I agree. I was all over that centerdoor at Greenfield Village and in the meantime he did a Ford TT truck that won big the next year. He and I have a good understanding of how I want the car to end up and I am confident we can get there. I'm telling you, IIam already thrilled with the amount of progress he made.

1928 Lincoln for sale, not mine.
ericmac replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Looks like someone bought it. May the Force be with them!
