If you dig enough on the eBay website, there is a way to opt-out of the global shipping program. I did so a few months ago and no longer have to un-check the global shipping box when writing an ad.

And I saw it there in 1964! I still have the museum brochure that describes it.

Thanks for posting the link. They are only about 10 miles from my house!

If it's a Century or Special, Oldsmobile vent windows should interchange. I know the windshields are the same.

There are a couple of car events that stand out in my memory. The first was in 1964 when my father and I took a road trip from Brooklyn to Niagara Falls in our '52 Plymouth. It developed a rod knock somewhere east of Buffalo and we pulled into a gas station for advice. The attendant recommended we go to Stanley Stauba's junk yard in Darien Center about 20 miles up the road. He was noted for being a fair and honest businessman. Stanley didn't have any running cars he felt would make the trip, but did have another Plymouth with a good engine. My father made a deal to have the engine swapped at a local repair shop. The next day, the repair shop owner dropped us at a restaurant several miles up the road and, after several hours, my father got worried and we began walking back to the garage. After walking for a while, a car came to a screeching halt near us. It was the gas station attendant who had recommended the junkyard the previous day. He drove us to the repair shop where we waited for the swap to be completed, then continued with our trip. The engine swap, including engine and labor, came to $46.00! The second event also took place in Western New York. Fast-forward to the late 1970's. I bought a 1975 Ford Torino in Buffalo to flip from a government sealed-bid sale. I was living at home in Staten Island, having graduated from the University of Buffalo. I flew to Buffalo and stayed with friends who were still attending UB. The Torino battery died, and none of my friends had a car so I could get another one. My friends lived on a residential street and, as I looked under the hood, someone called out to me from an upstairs porch a few houses away. After I explained the situation, this complete stranger reached into his pocket and threw me the keys to his Monte Carlo. I drove to the nearest K-Kart, bought a battery, and installed it in the Torino. I also put a few dollars of gas in the Monte as a thank-you. An amazing act of kindness that i still remember today!

My late father-in-law was a master carpenter and left a number of tool and woodworking books from the 1940's on up that my wife would like to sell. What are some active websites that have free classifieds? Thanks for any ideas, Harold

SOLD!

This great deal is still available!

I checked and that article isn't in the magazine.

Here's a worn-but-complete copy of the December 1953 issue of Motor Trend. Includes articles on how the new Corvette body was manufactured, Moon cars, the German auto industry, sports cars, and lots more. The magazine has seen better days. The back cover is detached and the front cover is loose, but the inside pages are intact. Interesting reading for a cold winter's night. It can be yours for only $8.75 postpaid on the USA. PayPal is OK. When the dust settles, I'll see enough money to almost buy a couple of items from the McDonald's value menu!

I did a search on a whim and came up with a picture of my neighbor's house on Staten Island, taken from what would eventually become my other neighbor's back yard, in 1929. it was really a wilderness before developers bought the land!

Lots of good info here. Thanks to all who responded. I'm weighing my options and will expand the advertising soon. Harold

I've listed my '66 Sport Fury Convertible on the local Craigslists and so far the responses have been disappointing. What other websites (besides this one!) have you found useful when trying to sell a collector vehicle? I'm also considering paper media. Is Hemmings still the powerhouse it used to be? Any thoughts appreciated.

It did the same thing to me. That's weird. If you type-in the web address manually you will get to revolico.
