  1. Roger I agree with you on the use of the term restored. The same thing applies to my other hobby, tractors. What bugs me is the term "original miles". Which miles on a car are original? I have a truck with 350,000 miles. Which ones are original. I submit the only original mile on a vehicle is the first one. After that they are all the same. What they really mean is "actual miles" and this is the term that should be used.
  2. The manifold heat control on my 1938 Dodge is stuck in the cold engine position. Have tried all the stuff in the shop from WD40 to BP Blaster to no avail. Would it be ok to remove the flap and use a solid gasket to close the opening thereby putting it in the hot engine function permanently?

  6. When should I replace tires on a low mileage car I plan to drive? Twenty years old, still lots of tread, starting to see some age cracks. (1938 Dodge) Herb Wessel
  7. I am restoring a 48 Dodge. What do I need to do to the fluid coupling? Is there someone who will check/rebuild it?
  8. Where can I find a distributor for a 1938 Dodge? hwess@qis.net
  9. You asked for comments concerning the bylaw change adding vehicles made in 1939-1942. Several points come to mind if favor of the change. 1.There are no clubs for these cars now. While they are welcome in the two Chrysler clubs, one only has to look at their magazines or attend their meets to see their focus, later cars and muscle cars. 2.In the thirties and early forties all manufactures began to ?style? their cars. Dodge was ahead of all the rest. The 39-42 Dodge cars were the classiest cars on the road in those years regardless of make. 3.The 39-42 cars are prime meat for street rodders. Without a club that respects them many will be chopped. I rescued a 1940 Dodge from the chopping block several years ago. 4.While the change may increase our membership somewhat, that is not as important as providing a means to preserve the cars of that era. 5.The change will not affect our tours. I have a 1936 and a 1938, which are very little different than the 39-41s, (there were very few 42s made) and I like the DB tours as they are now. Our Gettysburg Region AACA has many tours (75-100 cars) with cars from the teens to sixties. No problem. The older cars always go first and set the pace. After a few stop lights and stop signs the cars are nicely spaced. 6.Incendently, my 1947 Dodge pickup has "Dodge Brothers" on the serial plate.
