I think it is interesting that the bottom photo used a hand-painted backdrop of the type used by a portrait studio. The floor is wooden planks and there appears to be oil stains. Maybe taken in a service station or a studio set up for this purpose?

This clock is aprox. 2 1/4 inches in diameter. (The dash hold would be aprox. 2 1/2 inches.) Stamped "WESTCLOX LASALLE, ILL, USA" PAT 2279015. An ink stamp looks to read 1949. It is an electric wind. The style and color are similar to a 57 Desoto instrument cluster that nearby. Anyone know for sure?

I was with my dad at a one-man-repair-shop with a little old lady’s car over the pit. There was a small ‘audience’ as the mechanic went into the pit, trouble light in hand, to investigate the ‘funny noise’ her car was making. After a few sighs and comments, the lady was becoming noticeably more nervous. The mechanic then tossed up random parts onto the shop floor: first an old rusty muffler, then a used oil filter plunked down, rolling across the floor dribbling oil as it rolled toward her feet… I don’t remember the diagnosis or the repair, but we were all busting a gut at her expense.

Speedometer with odometer and trip odometer. Labeled Stewart, Stewart-Warner Speedometer Corp, Chicago, USA. The rear has Stewart stamped in script and the number P34C79. It is also inked (paint?) NOV 1927 and 281-C. The dial measures 3 1/8 inches. There are two mounting tabs on the rear measuring 3 13/16 between them. I recall that there may have been a Stewart truck sometime in the past. Can anyone tell me if this fits one and what years? Thanks in advance.

I used this as a chair in my room as a kid in the 60's, and it was old then. I think I recall it was from a truck, maybe a Stewart, circa 1927? (I could be wrong, my memory is fuzzy, but I found a '27 Stewart speedometer...) The base measures aprox. 18" wide, the bolt spacing for the rear mount is 13", distance from the front mount bracket to the rear bolts is also 13".

Thanks for the information! It wouldn't surprise me that driving lights represented a 'profit source' for car dealers. Certainly the 'classic era was before my time, not that my parents could afford to do more than admire them from a distance... I do remember my dad's story about their first post-war new car, a 46-48 Dodge sedan: They told the small town dealer that 'they would take it'. When they returned with their checkbook to pick it up, the dealer had added fog lights and other 'extra cost items'... The had that car into the 50's, and I still remember those big amber lights on the front bumper.

Thanks Skydog, We had a '54 6 cyl waggon, and a '55 272 V-8. Would it be the same radiator in both?

Hi 'Wheel', I think of Wide Open Throttle, have seen it abbreviated as WOT on other boards, and workshop manuals. It could refer to someone that always gos "all out'. That's as exestential as I can think, but then it's been years since I read Camus...

I've always used driver's perspective, i.e. in USA, right is passenger side. (Downunder, UK and Japan where they drive on the "wrong side" it would be driver's side, but still the "right side".)
Well, This is a good way to make $ !

Interesting. Maybe you should consider selling ‘autographed by the author copies’! I checked the guy’s ‘completed listings’. It looks like 20% or so of the 700 listings sold. A lot of work, but some $...
