  1. Did you contact the person who contacted you and mention how you feel? It could be something as simple as an oversight, or the person who started the project might not have finished it. It can't hurt to ask. Danbury Mint built a model of a car that I happened to own a good example for them to use. They used my car for the template and came from Connecticut to my home on Long Island for three weekends straight. It was interesting for the first 45 minutes to an hour, and after that it was pretty boring. When they were done sent me two models of the car they produced. As luck goes everything was identical except they decided to change the color to suntan copper.
  2. Thats pretty cool, learn something new everyday. Thanks for sharing if this was in the photo forum I would have never saw it, I am glad it is here!
  3. By any chance was that car on SW 31st street? I recall seeing a similar one there last year.
  4. Could it have been for MPH to KPH? The ratio gear just swaps out in the transmission, it is just a nylon gear. GM uses a different color for each ratio rear end
  5. Watching the Stooges this past weekend and saw them destroy this 36? Ford Coupe
  6. They used to show that information in Chiltons or Motors manuals. Or if you can find a copy of a 1978 Cadillac Shop Manual the information will be in there
  7. Glenn, GM tried that with the Cosworth Vega, limited production, EFI, a few hundred less then Corvette and grand more than a Camaro. Expensive drivetrain with finicky electronics in on a bad platform, it was a pig with lipstick. The one I had was fun to drive and fast when it when it ran. Great observation!
  8. I recall reading somewhere many years ago there were laws against exiting and entering onto the traffic side or the drivers side the vehicle in some of the major cities. It was to be viewed as a selling feature at the time. Safe egress to the passenger side of the car away from traffic. Again, I am going off something I recall reading over 30 years ago.
  9. Seems like the water could be adding a to of weight to the vehicle. It was an idea that was evolving.
  10. Wes, I am not a Ford guy buy any means. and I am not saying this is your cars problem but be aware, a good friend of mine bought the same model car about 30 years ago, it was a one owner garage kept gem The frame was rotted near the lower control arms, when he looked into it he found out it was a common problem on those year Fords. He repaired it.
  11. No doubt, there is big money in scrap metal business. but those businesses are a far cry from a field with 300 rusty picked over cars laying about.
  12. They did reduce them, but they were still 1 3/8" from 1 3/4" from 1957, but they were not yet 1" I forgot about the Cadillac Brougham.
