I have two NOS Unity spotlights in the box if anyone wants them.

NYS Historic registrations are $23 per year. Unless, you live in NYC, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, or Rockland counties, then you get slammed with another $30 in MTA "surcharges." NYS also requires an annual safety inspection at $10.

What year and model car is this for?

I believe Franklin had a four door sedan in 1915.

Is there any way to distinguish a '28 from a '29 Ford?

Wouldn't a 1928 also have 21" wheels?

I think it should be black with a silver head. That's what Plymouths had.

Apple Hydraulics had mine done the next day. They recommend brass, but do both brass and stainless.

I have all new wheel cylinders from Bernbaum for my PA sitting on a shelf. I will check the sizes. I believe all the cylinders are the same originally. THey are not different for left and right. If you do have two different sizes, put the larger cylinders on the front. It will stop better.

They are sold. thanks

He must have sold it locally

What parts of the movie are fiction? Just curious, because overall, I think they did a great job.

Nash?

I'm not talking about rotors, these are drums.

I recently did the brakes om my modern driver, a 2001 Dodge Dakota. The original drums had penta-stars on them and were stamped "Made in Mexico" even though the truck was "Proudly Built in Warren, MI," or "Dodge City." The replacements from NAPA are made in China. They warped immediately. The replacements also warped. The NAPA guy says this never happens. The Dodge dealer guy says it does, even with oem stuff. My brakes still pulsate when hot. The Franklin club recently reproduced drums for Franklins. Guess where they're made? China. Turned out to be the only place that would make them to the proper specs.

Gold Tuckers are very rare. Less than 50 were produced!

I was told that the high-wheeler was strictly an American breed.

I have a nice original pair of Trippe Speedlights. They have some minor imperfections, but are overall very nice and include brackets. I would like $400 for them. I have more photos, e-mail me if interested.

Wrap your tire irons with lots of duct tape and be very careful. I've mounted tires by hand on drop-center wheels without a scratch.

Scott, My grandfather had both an L and a K. I can say that the L cruised comfortably at 50-55mph, and probably couldn't stop from anything much faster than that. The 1931 K was much faster and more refined. It was really twice the car in so many ways. I believe it was quite comfortable at 60, but I didn't really drive it as much as the L. The K has much better brakes and steering though. All that being said, I would really love to have that 1930 L back. It was Grandpa's and my favorite.

I believe the job of "Car thief" is the highest paying.

Unfortunately, there are thousands of ham-fisted butchers out there who feel that the only way to fix any old car is to put a Chevy engine in it. I drove a friend and her dad to her wedding in my Franklin a few years ago. As we were riding down the road the dad commented on how well the car ran, and then asked me what kind of engine it had in it. i said it was a Franklin engine. He said, "No, what kind of engine does it have now?" He was amazed that it actually has the original engine under the hood. I got the same line of questions last summer while on a long trip with my family. So many people don't realize that car makers have always employed engineers that might have known more than we do about how to build a car. They (the cars) usually work very well if they are as the factory built them. If they don't, there is something wrong (worn steering, suspension, engine, etc.). Maybe this is why I never understand the hot rod people. Yes, a SBC will make your model A much faster, but if you want to go faster, why not just buy a fast car? A home-built street rod will NEVER perform as well as a factory built car.

There was an article in Hemmings last year about the Red Apple Rest. It closed last year.

Is this close enough? Other Makes:eBay Motors (item 250557011668 end time Jan-08-10 14:47:04 PST)
