  1. Because it will probably get little activity or views down there. Until one of the members told me about viewing by unread content I never viewed anything but the cars for sale, parts for sale and General discussion. Mainly because there isn't enough time in the day to search all the separate forums. (I've seen allot of great other threads since, that I was missing) By the way I have a drawer full of NOS hub bolts like this, I'll have to see if there are any matches.
  2. Happy to help. Ebay is a bit frustrating until you learn the tricks. It's still frustrating then, but you tend to spend less time and yield better results.
  3. I found this 1914 Wolseley on eBay. Looks like it could have it's original interior. Doesn't appear too bad. Seems to be one of the cheaper brass era car manufacturers. Definitely something a little different. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1914-Wolseley-Stellite-Convertible/232634311744?hash=item362a15e440:g:TCsAAOSwp-RaX~-A&vxp=mtr
  4. I'm the furthest thing from a Buick expert. The body work on the rear almost has a coach built look to me. It looks a little more angular than the regular coupes I found that were factory made especially closer to the tail pan. The British coachwork angle, might just be the right avenue to pursue. I did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything similar. Neat car. You have what appears to be a pretty scarce car.
  5. Looks like as nice driver. I have a 56 Olds. I do a search on eBay each night for parts. I don't really need anything in particular but have picked up some nice stuff cosmetically for it, sometimes cheap, if you catch your competitors sleeping. I have bought lots of service parts as well that were just too good to pass up, like switches and stuff, that are specific to these Oldsmobiles. I have found with Olds there are 4 ways to search that will yield different results. try 57 olds 1957 Olds 57 Oldsmobile and 1957 Oldsmobile You can eliminate words by following that with key words to eliminate so try copy and pasting this in your search block. 1957 Oldsmobile -Suzuki -Honda -Kawasaki -Harley -Volvo -Patch -Decal -omc -evinrude -johnson -mercruiser -sign -watch -watches -nardi -wood It will filter out a lot of junk. Some of these words may not pertain as much to your searches, but I use it as a general filter and gets rid of most of the repo overseas crap that doesn't fit your car.
  6. I would post this down below in the Buick Section as well. Those members seem to be very active.
  7. That was pretty cool. Would it be a crime to put one of those engines in my non original Cord?
  8. Definitely a west Coast Car. Around here (the Northeast). Typical rust means still has something t attach the door handles and headliner to, but not much of anything else below that.
  9. Looks to be pretty well done as far as proportions and wheel locations. I've seen a lot worse attempts. There was a 59 Ford wagon done the same way in this neck of the woods. I saw it in person at a show for sale and it was nice and other than the conversion, totally stock looking above the running gear. The problem came, when the guy tried to sell it (might still be for sale). As a stock 59 wagon it would have sold in a couple days at the 20 G asking price. It was really nice as was the trim, paint and interior. Probably better than a 3, the problem is no one wanted a 4 wheel drive wagon for that kind of money. I think that may be the same regret here when the time comes some day to sell. They just need to market it right and find the one guy to believe it's a Napco type factory conversion for the postal service to deliver mail in North Dakota or MT? Sounds believable. Just photos shop an old brochure and you are good to go.
  10. Is timing ever good? Seems whenever I find the right deal, it never is.
  11. Atleast until morning, When you wake up and find a pinto in your garage.
  12. Besides I have to pay more in shipping So it works out real close! well sort of close, maybe in the neighborhood . Like that abbot and Costello joke about a buck.
  13. Oh come on. I could probably give you a pile of parts to help finish it off. Alteast I could clean that front room out, they have been hogging up.
  14. Xander and I could split it. 20G for the Open car and I'll take the sedan for 5,000. See that makes perfect sense
  15. I never drank or drink to this day, so I never had the experience. But I did save alot of money not doing so for more old cars.
  16. I got a notice the car or the model were relisted cheaper over on eBay.
  17. The Same thing that is drunk by every guy at 2 AM when those # 1's. Start looking like a #10. Don't you remember the girls all get prettier at closing time?
  18. I listed a bunch of really nice Packard Literature on eBay. All no reserve and most starting at 2.99-4.99 for the thick large brochures. Probably worth a look even if you just like looking at the old advertising with no plans on buying as I photographed almost every page of each brochure. I tried to transfer the photos to here from my listing but I'm not familiar enough with my new Mac to do it. Here is a link to one of those listings. https://www.ebay.com/itm/312042566704?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
  19. I added a nice 56 Dodge dealer press kit as well as a few other 57 Dodge pieces.
  20. I've learned that regardless of how many times you are on this site a day, when someone asks what car is in the picture, you will have to type really fast to beat Keiser31 and that's just because he stepped outside to take a picture of another car that just happened to drive by his house. I think I did beat him once and that's only because I was typing really fast and he must have been getting one of those shots.
  21. You are not kidding. Around 200 or more photos every night. 7 Days a week. I think it helps people see what's in the brochures though. Makes for some good viewing/ reading for those interested in looking at some neat old paper.
  22. I listed a bunch of really nice Willys and even a few Darrin pieces of Literature on eBay. All no reserve and most starting at 2.99 . Probably worth a look even if you just like looking at the old advertising with no plans on buying as I photographed almost every page of each brochure. I tried to transfer the photos to here from my listing but I'm not familiar enough with my new Mac to do it.

  23. I listed a bunch of really nice Chrysler Literature on eBay. All no reserve and most starting at 2.99-4.99 for the thick large brochures.
