Spark Plug X-ref Chart This is the link, Ron
Hmm, that site looks familiar to me?
Glad someone is finding it useful! -
To us Yanks linking Valiant and/or Falcon with the term "muscle car" seems to be more that bit oxymoronic, I'd have to say.

1966 Chevy full size car dash
Found another photo of the same dash except without the center A/C vent.
Well, then I was in the right decade and had the right manufacturer?

i have a nos 1953 to 1956 pontiac accessory purse holder which mounts on the door panel left or right. i was wondering if any other makes offered a purse holder also. charles coker, 1953 pontiac tech advisor.
It is all your fault!
See the "Vehicle Marketing" article on p. 2 of the Feb issue of my newsletter (Car Collector Chronicles 02-13.pdf) found here - -

I do like the captions, keep 'em coming!
In the meantime, I am trying to figure out the car. Looks to be an early 60's Olds to me? Might be a Pontiac?

While I do not remember the name, there is a hardware store in Cincinnati, OH where literally every item (tool, implement, nut, bolt, washer, you name it ) offered for sale is on display. Customers must take a number to be waited on. You and a knowledgeable salesperson go from item to item, your purchases are written up and you are handed over the the cashier. It is a trip back in time when service was the name of the game!

Found the name of the place: Aufdemkampe's. The name alone makes a statement, IMHO. Sadly, I have learned it closed in 2001, after a mere 97 years in business.

Brand - Carter
Vol. (?) - 4 to 5 p.s.i.
Location - as close to the gas tank as possible, but not below frame/undercarriage.

EXTRA CREDIT.....What does the "54-275" stand for? If "54" was for the production year of 1954 and Ernie's employee number was "275", how did this pay stub wind up in a 1953 Buick? Please explain yourself in <1,000 words.
54-275 is Dept #-Payroll#
As the pay stub is for June of 1953, what is the mystery of "how?" Production of '54 Buicks would not have begun until August of '53, right? Alternatively, the pay stub was placed in the '53 at some point in time AFTER the car left the factory

Purpose should most certainly include the word educate. You may feel free to add whatever adverbs, etc. you feel applicable!

I find it interesting that:
The truck has artillery style wheels
That a PINT of ice cream cost all of 15 cents!

Surely these blokes are not looking to transport a car across the Atlantic for filming purposes?

Did not know that DQ had trucks. They did not have such in my hometown. That they did not, I am sure, is what made it a bit of an adventure to go to the Dairy Queen!IcE Cream any one? -
You are right, I did miss the embedded link. Probably missed it because I went straight to the attached pic. I ordinarily would not go off site to view a pic when there is one with the msg I am reading.
As for "Click on the blue line and go places you've never been before!", see ,my sig!

Most GM carlines offered this gadget as a factory authorized option in 1969-70; The GM version used a spray can of "AC Liquid Tire Chain" that was mounted upside down in brackets in the trunk, over the rear wheelhouses. Pushing the system's button sprayed this sticky chemical onto the rear tires and supposedly would give enough traction to get you going. The cans operated a lot like a cheese can or Reddi-Wip can- bend the nozzle and you get product.
Hmm, the directions say to "shake can well before using"? Kind of hard to do after can is mounted in holder, in trunk, is it not? I wonder how well it sprayed in cold weather?
I was alive and aware back in that era, and have no recollection of this stuff.

This picture (from the Craigslist ad) shows the missing pieces of trim better.
Well, this is a picture I had not seen, and of the driver, as opposed to passenger side, of the car. Yes, the missing trim is obvious here. Thanks. You saved me a visit to the eye doc!
-
Yours from a "For Export" vehicle?
-
You guys here are constantly seeing things in these pics that I do not. Time for me to go to the eye doctor?
In comparing the 2 pics of the 37 4-door sedans I do not see any missing "belt line trim" in the first photo?

In my teen years I routinely kept a full 5 gal. GI gas can in the trunk of my car. Full is much safer than partially full, but still probably not the brightest idea? :confused:
-
The front bumpers on the 1955 Buick were referred to as "Dagmars" by the hotrod crowd.
Like wise with respect to the mid-fifties Cadillac.

If anyone finds out one way or the other about this guy/show, do let us know.

Looks like a variation of the proverbial "resale red," which is quite popular in the buyer's market?

Terrell Machine in DeLeon, TX. Do not know that it is northern, but it is in TX. I have them rebuild my distributor vacuum advance and was very happy with the quality of the work, the price and the turn around time.

-bring an ice chest with drinks, snacks, maybe sandwiches. There's nothing on the Trace itself in the way of food or gas stations, you have to get off and go to a town, most of which are small and backwoods kinda places
Echo the above remark by David C. While the drive is nice, there is nothing to see but the road and country side. One must get off to find civilization. In days of yore (stage coach times) the trace was a haven for highway robbers.

No problem. That is what it is all about, sharing the knowledge, right?
