I don't know about that - antique "convertibles" fold down the same way and they look terrific! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I'll confess though, if my 450SL's top didn't go under the decklid, I might not have loved it as much!

You know juddev, I was wondering how all that turned out - I remember that girl trying to sell her car and she kept lowering the price. Last thing you had said was that you would be flying there with an ABS system and driving it home..... and now we know "the rest of the story"! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
BTW, if your girlfriend thought you went through all that BS just to sleep with the girl, you are much better off with her! Just my $.02! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like the roofer was just a tad bit obnoxious! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
IMHO, all convertibles look better with the top down, regardless of make - I can't think of one that looks better with the top up. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

49wood,
If you scroll down the list of forums, Chrysler has a forum listed as Airflow Club of America. You may want to run this question by those guys as well.

When one runs out of washer fluid one is reminded every 15 seconds, via the CRT, that one must replenish the washer fluid container IMMEDIATELY or dire consequences could occur!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Did I mention that it does this every 15 seconds?? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> It's so annoying that I JUST HAD TO drive to Advanced Auto and pick up some washer fluid when mine ran out just to make the beeping stop! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Art Griffin of Melbourne, Florida - I think they made the announcement on the AACA General Discussion board but it's posted on the calendar on the main page of aaca.org.

I find this just a little curious - I was watching that auction by eBay because someone on the BCA forum had talked about it - it ended up at $611,000 with "reserve not met". The $635,000 deal must have occured after the auction expired.

Wow Howard, sounds like the past year has been quite a trauma for you! Hurricanes, car problems, loss of job, new job, car problems - WHEW!!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Glad you pulled through it all - hope this next year is much better than the last!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The lift in the photo is actually in the Packard Museum in Dayton. It was taken two years ago when my office was on the second floor. What model 1941 Packard have you? </div></div>
We've been to the Dayton museum quite a few times - what a great place! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
We have a 110 "Deluxe" currently sitting with it's clip off awaiting some engine work. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hey West - Nice car!! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And nice lift!
I'm in the market for a lift - what kind is yours and does the 2 post work well for you with your cars? We have a '41 Packard and I wanted to make sure a 2 post would work out.
Not to hijack the thread - I have a post about this on the AACA General Discussion if you wish to respond there..... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm - that makes sense (wires in the door hinges have gone bad). <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
PKMike - I don't know if they both stopped at the same time, I've had the car for just a few months and they were like that when I got it.... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
EDBSO - When I vacuum out the car, then it's basically a pain in the arse to get in the car, close the door, and move the up/back in order to clean around it. Also, in this car, the seatbelt clasp (sp?) is broken and it needs to be replaced, so once again the seat has to be moved up and back, etc.... just a pain.... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
Thanks guys!

Re: '89 Reatta
Problem: The driver and passenger side seats will not move (using keypad on door) unless the door is closed. What is causing this? Not a problem in the other Reattas we have - the seats move around just fine with the car off and the door open..... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

.. and some car dollys for rent come with come-alongs on them.
Just be VERY careful of the front end - it can get really crunched underneath around the grill area if you don't get some extra lift under the wheels..... been there <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Ex98thdrill & Debby - I tried looking up the Eagle lift after seeing it mentioned here. The website I get is Eagleequip.com, but in looking at the lifts they appear to be Bend Pak lifts? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Is this the right site? Does Eagle sell an Eagle lift and a Bend Pak lift? Please advise.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! We still haven't made a firm decision, but at least we are being pointed in a few directions to investigate. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'd like to see the article Ron referred to - that may be of some assistance! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

This car has been on eBay for a while now - I guess everyone knows it's a bit overpriced. It looks like he's lowered the price from the original posting, but not enough. I was tempted to email him and ask if he was joking, but I stopped myself.

Thanks Ex98thdrill! Yes, that does help. Doing a Google search on car lifts is enough to make one's head spin with all the choices available - it's very confusing <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. We came to the AACA forum for advice because we want to make sure we get something that will work with our antique cars, and the folks on this forum always seem to have a wealth of information.

Hello!
We are in the market for a car lift - do any of you have one? What would you recommend for working on antique vehicles? We would be working on antique and newer model vehicles. 2 post? 4 post? Brand?
Hoping to get opinions from those more experienced in this area....
Many thanks!

WOW - now THAT'S old! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I've never even heard of that guy.... at least I know who Elvis was... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

...oh, and thanks for the info Manik! My blue '89 has all the acoutrements of an '89 so it must have been early production as you indicated. This also means that the engine in my claret car is probably original to the car, which is nice to know.
As to the order in which the cars were produced, I was going by the last 4 digits of the VIN - I thought the lower the number the earlier it was made, but the claret is 2XXX and the blue is 5XXX, so I guess my theory was incorrect..

I was too lazy to make photos of my own cars - I saved a couple of pics off of eBay instead <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

..and this is one without the 3800....

It's not the cover over the engine I am talking about - it's the actual engine. I'm attaching a couple of photos...
This is with the 3800 engraved...
