I don't recall seeing it mentioned here, but one thing I've learned is to have a thin rag or cloth glove between your hand and the workpiece when feeling for imperfections in the repaired surface.

The last time I was in Tractor Supply they carried gloss equipment paint in quarts and gallons. Might be worth a look.

If you can find a death certificate for Jack Wilson it might show a next-of-kin you can contact. Check with the county clerk.

The radiators were manufactured by the same Fedders company that made air conditioners. Makes sense because air conditioner coils are very similar to a car radiators. Fedders is now known as Fedders USA, located in Basking Ridge, NJ. You may still be able to get some application info if you contact them. Their number is: 908-502-5418

As I recall, the earlier edition of C4C originated in California and then spread to the rest of the country. I suspect this new program will do the same. I believe it's very sad that these lower-end used cars won't be available to people that can't afford better ones. I saw some great vehicles get scrapped on the last go-round.

Good used condition. Has small tear in rear cover. $15.00 postpaid in the lower 48 states. PayPal is OK.

Do you still have the original ignition switch and is it complete with the lock cylinder? If so, take it to a locksmith and have him make a key for it. The bonus is that the ignition key would probably fit the doors as well (assuming the new key was made to have the same cuts as the original).

Here's an original Mopar service training manual covering new features of the '79 truck line, including Dodge D50 and Plymouth Arrow pickups. Has 81 pages in nice, lightly-used condition. $18.00 postpaid in the lower 48 states.

If you have any old GM keys you should try them in the trunk lock. There were relatively few cut combinations back then and you might get lucky. True story.... My mother, aunt, and cousin went to a Bingo game in the sixties in my aunt's '55 Buick. When they left the game at the end of the evening, they accidentally drove off in another '55 Buick. Turns out both cars used the same key.

The glove box lock usually has the key code stamped on it. If you remove it and bring it to a locksmith he may be able to cut a key for you.

The '51 Plymouth cab made me smile. They're my favorite car.....

A couple of years ago we visited the 'other' LeMay collection and were very impressed. Didn't have time for both. I'm looking forward to seeing this collection the next time we visit our son in Seattle. You really have to admire someone who was so into vintage vehicles and also had the means to save them.

Hi everyone, My friend is selling his '98 Cadillac STS so I've posted a link to his Craigslist ad in case anyone here is interested. It's located in Florida. 1998 Cadillac STS Seville 4D Sedan - 125k miles, cold A/C, new tires... (craigslist.org) Thanks, Harold

This issue of Car & Driver Magazine has a nice article about the '66 Fury wagon that was specially ordered for the magazine to use. Also has articles on the Fiat 1500, MG-B, TR-4A, and much more. Good used condition with some writing on the front cover. $12.00 postpaid in lower 48 states

Good looking car. Congrats on you purchase! The '46-'48 Mopar lineup carried over into 1949 and has been referred-to as 'First Series' '49. The 'true' '49's came out at the beginning of the calendar year. I know that Plymouth had two sizes of basic hubcap, depending on the model. The Chrysler line may have had the same sizing scheme.

The slowest car I ever had was a '71 Ford Pinto with an automatic transmission that I bought for $25.00 to save it from the junkyard. I'd go through red lights to avoid stopping short and getting hit in the rear!
