Congrats on becoming a father-in-law. The second car I ever drove was my aunt's '55 Century. Just like the one in the photos but was 'Jade Green' by Earl Scheib.

Here's a nice used (or maybe even NORS) 2-1/2" diameter glass taillight lens marked #329 for 1939 Chevrolet, 1937-1938 Oldsmobile, and 1939 Pontiac. $12.00 postpaid in the lower 48 States. Thanks for looking! Harold

I was poking around in my basement and found this hood. I bought it many years ago to get the ornament from it for my '63. The outer skin is OK but the reinforcement by the driver's side hinge is badly rotted and weak. Has both latches and hinge brackets. Fix or parts. $100.00 picked-up in or near Freehold, NJ 07728. Thanks for looking, Harold

Very true. Some people send magazines by Media Mail but it's against the rules and a hassle if you get caught. One or two magazines per envelope can go First Class (up to 13oz). Sometimes you can get three or four magazines into a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope. Bulk quantities have to go Priority or Retail Ground (usually only a few cents cheaper than Priority and much slower).

It's time for my Plymouth Bulletin magazines to find a new home. I've got most issues from # 140 (May/June 1983) to the present. Nearly all of them are in excellent condition, with a few having some wrinkles or shipping damage courtesy of the Post Office. I can fit 30 issues comfortably into a USPS Flat-Rate box. Send me a list and I'll include the ones you want if I have them. $20.00 per box, plus $13.65 for shipping (total $33.65). That works out to $1.12 each including postage, a great deal by anyone's standard!

Vintage auto jack stamped "No. 18" with no other markings. It stands about 9-1/2" tall as shown in pictures with the screw fully retracted. I've seen these called Ford Model T or Model A jacks but don't know if this is accurate. The jack has normal wear, dirt and surface rust from sitting in our garage for many years. The parts move freely and I used it once about 20 years ago. Handle not included. $25.00 picked-up in or near Freehold, NJ 07728. Shipping available at extra cost. Send your zip code and I'll let you know how much it would be.

Seems to me that the engine starts to shake when the noise happens. I'd get a mechanic's stethoscope and methodically (and carefully!!) put the pickup on various engine components to localize the source of the noise.

Check the flex-plate bolts for tightness and the plate itself for cracks.

Postal rates have gone up but my price stayed the same....what a deal!

NEW LOWER PRICE: $13.00 postpaid in lower 48 States.

You can't go wrong for $10.00!

You might try a mildly abrasive cleaner that contains feldspar like Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend (not Ajax or Comet!).

Those free flashlights, tape measures and DVMs have made me some money when I sell them at garage sales!

It's nice to come across a buyer who is motivated by doing the right thing rather than by the mighty dollar. In the pre-PayPal days, I listed a Dodge shop manual on eBay at a very low opening bid. It ended-up being a 'one-bid wonder' which was somewhat disappointing. When I received the buyer's check, it was for $10.00 more than the bid price. I contacted him and offered a reimbursement, but the buyer told me that the selling price was too low and I should keep the extra money. It wasn't a huge transaction, but thinking about it still makes me smile....

NORS KW brand (by BMC) FA-30 voltage regulator for Ford products 1963-78, AMC 1976-1979, and Pantera 1971-1974. It has the same applications as the Standard Motor Products VR-613. The box is somewhat shelf worn but the regulator looks like new. I bought this part many years ago and never used it. $17.00 postpaid in the lower 48 States. PayPal is fine. Harold

Locking wheel cover key that should fit Ford and Mercury cars. Probably from the 1980's. It has orange and white color-coded identification stripes. The design on the inside of the key needs to match the design on the wheel cover locking screw for it to work. I couldn't find any marks or numbers on it. Nice condition as shown. $18.00 postpaid in USA. PayPal is fine. Thanks for looking! Harold

I regret not buying a super-nice '52 Plymouth Cranbrook sedan. The seller was asking $1,000.00 in 1980 and I thought it was too much. I should have bought it then instead of the string of poor condition and inoperable Plymouths I wound-up with over the years. Not incredibly collectible but they're my favorite cars....

Someone on another forum used Penetrol on his paint and it brought up a nice shine. Seems to hold up pretty well.
