31 President, and 29 with 5 bolts. More details forthcoming, asking for a non-computer user....but I thought I'd start asking...thank you!

still looking?

wire wheels? size, condition, photo, price?

Apologies, I haven't been on this site in a while. Yes, can supply. DAF, Dallas.

ahh...the string that just won't die. POSTWAR 356 motor available. In cold storage in Utica, NY. Are you near enough to pick up?

I am going to suggest a price of $6,000. The real problem is extraction of a non-running car from a garage where there are two more non-runners outside. Just sending a shipping company to pick up ain't gonna happen. Location is Corona, CA, so its one of those situations where a group of friends will really be necessary. Typical long story of owner aging out, too many cars, too little time, grumpy old man, etc.

Only change since original post is a bit more dust. Now seriously looking to sell. Only updated comment from the owners wife is it was a good running, fun car when last driven, decades ago... Updated comments on value or interest in buying welcome. I will put seriously interested parties in touch with "the wife", my only involvement is to counsel as to value.

believe Wix still makes that...standard 1/2 qt filter canister used on everything back to Ford 9N tractors. I used to buy them at Tractor Supply....

shot in the dark, yeah, probably. No engine = resto-rod audience, much more than as a "collectable". Friend of mine just finished a 58 Impala...some stuff harder to find than (fill in the blank..)

120

I bought the wheel thinking 36 series 60. I believe the wheel is 35 series 40 and 50. Yours looks more like series 60 and 90, much more protruding hubcap area, but I am NOT an expert...just going by Google images.

not to grandstand...bumping up in the listings - I had a couple inquires when first posted, before I posted the pictures. Still available...thanks!

I can provide, I think I replied to your other posting in parts wanted...

Can do. Flackmaster at sbcglobal point net

suggest you try Don Axelrod, Headlight Headquarters, 781-598 zero Five 2 three.

...thought I was buying a '36 wheel, turned out to be a 35. Sell for $150 or trade for a '36 wheel. thank you. 16x4.5, 5" BC, 3 3/8 hub hole.

Please PM me with your contact info...Yes, still seeking the transmission, or Engine/trans

Chuck - I should be able to help you. flackmaster at sbcglobal point net

The more I think about this, the more clearly I respect the difficulty in planning to proceed, or a plan to cancel. Double edge sword where no one will be happy. The optimist that I am hopes that there is confidence that by October things will have calmed down to the new normal and we can proceed with our lives, Hershey included. Good Luck. DAF

Strange. Multiple friends have suggested I consider that car as I want a Delahaye. (easy to spend someone else's money....) It has its good points, or point, being a rather unique body, however the bad points, condition, condition and condition are clearly evident. The owner is looking through rose (or money green) colored glasses. The engine is most likely a disaster and the balance of the chassis is VERY high risk. Whether it was a tri-carb is a moot point, the tri-carb manifold is reproduced - most restored cars are tri-carb, gee, no surprise there. Difficult trim and other parts are absent, no picture of dash, etc. I have about 45 years experience restoring cars, so yes, I could do this car and I have Delahaye resources to lean upon, which leaves only one big problem - $170K is unanimously considered far far too high a price. If the price was anywhere near reasonable, I'd be a player,...but the six figure ante just isn't warranted. Call me when it has a real price and I'll have the cash ready. I am not going to call you and offer you what you might consider an insult today, only to ruin your perception of me when later you do realize I am willing to make a fair offer. Also interesting to note that the Vesters car, which "appears" to be in better condition is being completely re-wooded as an element of its full body dip in the money bath.

1932 (only ) has the oval emblem.

One final thought, that with the time until October, surely Hershey would be a success even with lower attendance. In fact, with lower attendance, this may relieve some of the social distancing issues. Some, not all, but enough that some needed optimism into the future/planning would add to the excitement for those that plan to attend.

I've read this discussion, and several similar others. Are we collectively, or individually, so ill-informed, unwise, cheap, foolish or greedy so as to accept such poor service? Watching a car's clutch get destroyed, sending a car on an open transport when clearly inappropriate, or tolerating broker's lies just to save a few bucks? Yes, I recognize that some things will happen, but can we not participate in limiting to those that really are unforeseeable? Let's reward the professionals and do away with the hacks.

I have received and responded to the survey and commentary regarding planning for Hershey 2020. Yes I am, as we all are, aware of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, I honestly believe that by October we will all have adapted to proper social precautions, and the overall health of our nation will be recovering. I respect the necessary precautions currently in place - but cancelling Hershey? Perish the thought....
