1923 Kissel Model 6-45 Gold Bug Speedster
ericmac replied to ron hausmann's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I'm curious, any updates on this one? -
I have a number of Ts. By far my most comfortable car is my 1913 Touring. A '26 Roadster is quite comfortable for me and '11 Torpedo and Open Runabouts are coveted because of their generous legroom. My '26 Touring was not super comfortable...really not at all. My '15 Touring was okay but tight for my toes. Hope that helps a little. For context, I am 5'11" and 225 lbs. Most importantly, I have a 34" inseam and wear a size 13 shoe. I hope that helps.

1929 Ford Model A Phaeton - $10,000 (Peoria AZ)

Doesn't look like the same car in both photos. Maybe it's just me. -
1923 Buick, not mine.

A friend of mind had a par of these, a Touring and a Roadster, both fabulous cars. I see the potential here. -
1933 Lincoln KA Phaeton Project
ericmac replied to alsancle's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
No Matt...not everybody. There is a reason I unloaded the '37 Cadillac I owned for one season. Very quickly I could see that I was going to head down the same road you were on at that time. I miss the car but my wife is not as tolerant as yours and trouble was brewing as the bills mounted. In short, it became clear it was the car or the marriage. I'm still married...but not to the Cadillac. 50 K for the Lincoln as I write this. It's out of my league in more ways than one. May the Force be with the buyer. -
NOT MINE 1940 LaSalle Convertible Coupe- Victor NY 7k
ericmac replied to rg171352's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Eek, gad, could it be any worse? -
I have driven an eight cylinder Imperial (a 35 Airflow limousine) quite extensively. It drives like a much newer car. The car in question was a fresh restoration and was beautifully sorted. The steering was light and brakes were powerful. Honestly, I have never driven a more competent car of the 30s. It absolutely blew the doors off my '37 Cadillac 70 Series. Just my opinion.

1921 Oldsmobile Model 46 - I ask myself, Why?
ericmac replied to Stude Light's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Will this be your Old Car Festival entry this year Scott? -
Matt and all, I have followed this thread from beginning to end and am greatly impressed by Matt and Melanie's perseverance with this car. Unfortunately I couldn't see the car when it was 20 miles from my house but hope to see it some other time. The story of the ride with dad filled me with joy and a touch of envy as I lost my dad several years ago. I am so happy you are finally able to drive, trust and enjoy the car. Eric

2023 Pebble Beach Trip- 21 days of car overload.
ericmac replied to edinmass's topic in General Discussion
Having talked to Ed at length a couple times on the phone, I have no doubt you are 100% correct. -
Kevin, if you are willing to share, can you educate those of us who advertise exclusively in the traditional venues, what do you see as the non-traditional ways of selling or acquiring a car?

1930 Packard Custom Eight 740 Club Sedan
ericmac replied to alsancle's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Nothing here not to like. That would look good in my garage. -
Seeing the four final cars as they were preparing to announce Best of Show, to me this car stood head and shoulders over the other three contenders. As was mentioned in the commentary, the judges always seem to pick the "right" car. Except for the year when the Duesenberg edinmass was showing was runner up, I agree, they always get it right.

35Packard, is the maroon car in the photo yours? I like this one and the 734 Speedster Phaeton! -
It looked a lot like this but I think it was a Ford. It got past me so fast I couldn't really tell.
