Is that a two story or a single story with a "loft"? Definitely a love shack with that big heart on the side.

I just got my space material in the mail this week.

Everything from the the firewall and back of fenders including the windshield would be the body manufacturers add.

There should be somewhere a tag that would identify the builder of the bus body. It could be anywhere including the firewall, any of the doors, the ceiling in the front of the passenger compartment, rear doors, etc.. It looks like a cab & chassis sent to a body builder. Could be a company like Blue Bird, etc...

It looks like about a '38-39 GMC COE school bus.

Radiator says Cutting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_(automobile)

Is the wrench on the far LEFT a metric wrench and the one on the far right an SAE wrench? Or maybe Whitworth wrench?

I do not like the adaptive cruise control for many reasons including the one you described.

Is this what you need today?

Looks close

5 inches in diameter. Seems a little high for that small of a sign, IMO.

My guess is that the seat covers are for a front bench seat in a lower contented car. Maybe something like a 1992 Buick Century or a similar vehicle. It does not look like it came from an upper series car. Just my guess.

I know one of those also and all they want to do is gather trophies, not sharing information. Sharing information is why I like this group.

My earlier comment was about the means portion of disposable income for the car hobby. If you don't have it, you can not spend it, except the federal government.

I would say probably yes. The biggest change in disposable income is the huge increase in tax burden placed on taxpayers. One data point would be social security taxes. 1963-1965 remem3.625% on first $4,800, 2022 Employee 7.65% on Social Security tax on first $147,000. And that is just Social security. In the 60's remember when gas was about 25cents/gallon. Now the taxes on a gallon of fuel can easily top 50cents/gallon. I know wages are up, but tax burdens are up more.

I nickel plated the ones on my '08.

OK, I will see if I can top that, but probably not. I had a '63 Buick Special Station wagon similar to this one except beige when my now wife and I started dating about 49 years ago. Car long gone, but I still am with the bride. And then I graduated up to a '68 Opel station wagon except mine was dark blue.

And which one requires less maintenance?

Best wishes on a speedy recovery

I would check NAPA for a possible replacement. They usually do quite well for obscure parts. What is the number under MODEL on the right? Also, Luber-Finer is still in business. Here is their website. Call them. https://luberfiner.com

Thank the people in Washington. I think I remember some guy in Washington saying that all that extra money going to the IRS was going to be used to go after "the rich people". Welcome to the "rich" demographic.

Maybe with a rubber case on the old batteries, maybe. I am not sure it is true or an old wives tale. New batteries with the plastic cases, no they will not discharge. If left long enough, the internal resistance the battery will eventually discharge. Probably talking a year or more just sitting there. IMO.

Did they supply carbs to the Delco Light plants? (generators)

Maybe easier to look at.

I have this hood for sale. Go here for pictures. Hood is located in Pontiac, Mich. Let me know if you are interested and we can talk. Thanks,
