Thank you, keiser31. That's exactly what I needed to know. We are duplicating both the buck and the hubcap. Stark

I thought that the SpitFire straight 6 and 8 Flathead engines had hardened valve seats from the factory. I reasoned this because lead doping didn't really get going until the 1950s. Lead was added to stop pinging/pinking (detonation), but as a side effect it lubricated the top end so well that hardened valve seats were no longer required. It means that older cars, such as my 1948 Daimler, have hardened valve seats. So, I did not think that lead was being added to gasoline as early as 1939. Have I been wrong all this time, and the Chrysler Eights have soft valve seats ?

Hello. I have seen 1920s Chrysler hubcaps in both brass and stainless steel, but which material were the ORIGINALS made from ? Thank you

I just purchased a 76 98 Regency 4 dr htp, 58,000 miles, that was recently offered upon ebay. I'd been looking for one for a while. I believe the 76 was the last of the jumbo Oldsmobiles. It's my second Olds. My first was a 41 76 2 dr sedanette. I don't know much about Oldsmobiles but I like the shape and the represented condition. Share some images...

Thank you for the part numbers, and thanks for checking availability from that source! RS

My 71 New Yorker is missing some trim around the headlamps. My guess is that this trim is frequently AWOL and that I may have a difficult time in locating it. This bright metal trim is C-section (like a C-section frame) in format, and roughly shaped like a very large pair of square brackets ... ([oo=====oo]) The curved brackets are meant to illustrate the body contours. The square brackets are meant to illustrate the missing trim. Can anyone sell to me? Any recommendations? Thank you RS

My 1973 New Yorker Brougham has an intricate, beautiful, leaf/vine pattern along the side ornamentation. I believe this is the swage line, but not certain on that teminology. Is this leaf pattern rare or unusual, or was it standard upon Broughams? Have you seen it before on any other years? Any information much appreciated! I also have a 1975 Lincoln Continental Town Car with a similar effect upon the swage line, but no where near as detailed or intricate as the Chrysler. I believe that this leaf pattern is peculiar to the mid-70s. It doesn't seem to appear in either the early or the late 70s. RS

Thank you for that recommendation! I used it to find a division of that outfit near enough to arrange personal delivery. I am using the operation in Elkhart, IN. RS

Yes, she's the real deal. One of 21 EFI cars built, and one of 9 known survivors. Thank you for the compliment. No plans to convert back to EFI. A complete system would be likely impossible to find. The few people that have them don't want to sell, and the price would likely be huge. They were unreliable in 1958 and would be no better now without replacing whatever part of the system was weak (I think it was the solenoids, but am not certain). I sent an e-mail to Kruse Auctions to ask how much they think the car may fetch at the Fall auction. Whatever, I have to fix the gasoline tank first. Now at least I'm confident it's the right tank for the car. RS

If anyone's interested, I worked out what the inspection plate in the trunk is for. The car was once fuel injected, and the in-tank pump would have been accessed through this plate. RS

Hello. My gasoline tank was damaged when my 300D was recently shipped to USA. First question... does anyone make new tanks? Second question... can you recommend any restorer? I found this firm via Google : http://www.gas-tank.com/ Third question... do I have the wrong tank anyway? The tank fits the car perfectly. The straps align fine. The filler neck screws in perfectly. The reason that I wonder if I have the wrong tank is that there is a large circular inspection plate in the trunk floor. One would think this is to access the sender unit. When the plate is removed, however, it reveals only the roof of the tank. The sender unit is in fact at the front of the tank. Could I have a tank from some other late 50s Chrysler product? What say you? Any 300 owners available to comment? Tank removed today, but I am reluctant to restore this tank if it is technically incorrect. Thank you RS

I have made 2 types of obsolete automobile parts so far. <span style="font-weight: bold">Project 1 : Cast Aluminium Valve Covers for the 1946-53 Daimler straight 8</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">Project 2 : mild steel Engine Side Plates for 1920s Chryslers</span> I would like to take this fledgling business further and make other obsolete automobile parts. Currently, I only have the technology to make METAL parts. I can't make tail lenses and other plastic items. As a MoPar man, I am particularly interested in Chryslers, but am happy to make batches of parts for any marque. I will, of course, always require an original item from which to make copies. The originals do not usually have to be perfect. For example, the original valve cover had cracks and the original side plates had rust holes in them! I am interested in all ideas, whether or not you are a parts seller. If you are a seller then I am happy to give you exclusivity on a product that you suggested. Thank you for any suggestions! RS
