  1. Three different type of whitewalls from what I am seeing??? Maybe all 3 sets come with care for that price?
  2. My bucket list changes from time to time but right now what is on it is: 1. 1955 Packard Carribean Convertible (just like the one my Dad had) 2. 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 3. 1975 Ford Gran Torino (like the one I had years ago, green and white)
  3. Steve, how long will the Limited be there???
  4. Yes, when I was looking for my first antique car, he had quite a collection at the time, he told me of a Crosley that a friend of a fellow club member had. He told me it wasn't much of a car but we could look at it if I wanted. The rest is history, owning over 10 Crosleys, still having 7 in my fleet. He at one time owned a 58 Ford Retractable at one time and I told him if he ever sold it I wanted it. Well he sold it, well really traded it for a motorcyle and trailer and sold those and thought he made out really good on the rusted out retractable. So several years later he came to me a club Christmas party and said a member is selling his 57 retractable, bought it and still own it. His real love was convertibles of any make and I sure have been influenced by that love. I am so glad he got me into the antique car hobby!
  5. I do believe that is where the thermostat is located. To remove the cover take the oil fill cap with the extension off and then lift the cover and pull towards the front.
  6. '40's Lincoln door push button trim???
  7. Check with Craig, Mobileparts on here, not sure if he has what you need but worth a shot and very trustworthy.
  8. I have some dash parts, electrical, trim pieces for a 1986??? What are you looking for???
  9. You also might want to consider driving or flying to someones vehicle. Maybe check with the AACA Library to see if they have any vehicles that would suit your needs, or even the aaca museum. Good luck and best wishes on your upcoming wedding.
  10. Is it possible that it is locked but the lock button is not showing it? Try pulling the door handle while locking and unlocking door with lock button. Try all combinations, inside, outside, even try the key while holding handle open. I have had modern cars do this and locking and unlocking the button while holding the handle has got it unjammed. Good luck!
  11. Today the snow was flying and I was busy mounting the safe. I will use it to keep important things safe from the honest thief. Also added a few pictures of the decorations on the wall.
  12. Bottom one is for a 1951-(53?) Packard
  13. Looks like a Crosley horn! Is it for sale?
  14. Ask Matt Harwood! I think he quit counting after he hit $50k.
  15. I have the front bumper cover at a friend's body shop to have the small tears repaired. Hope to have it back soon to get that car finished up. I made a shelf for in the new building over the past week and installed it today. It fits between the steel framework of the building. I also had help from my son in law over Christmas and put up 1" x 6" strips up by the top of the walls to hang things like hubcaps and such. No pictures of that. One thing I did get for the building was a wall safe that I will put all the keys in for the cars to make it harder for a would be thief. The building is starting to look more lived in!
  16. Glad you are on the mend! Grandchildren are awesome!!!
  17. What size is the pipe? If 2" OD I have the flairing tool. Like Jolly John said, very popular on GM cars.
  18. No connection, Powel Crosley was from Ohio and the Powell Truck was made in CA. The Powell truck used Plymouth running gear and trim, used of course, the roof came from another vehicle if I remember correctly and the front grille panel was produced at a boat manufacturer in CA. I have worked on one and it is very crude workmanship.
  19. Hey, I resent that remark! LOL Crosley's are cute!!!!!!
