Actually, the rear view looks more like a '60 Olds to me than a '60 Pontiac. I didn't care for the Plymouth or Dodge in '62, but I like them now because of their uniqueness.
Having been a '60 Olds owner/fan/aficionado for many, many years, I can see why you would say that. The tail light treatment and the bubble top window are indeed reminiscent of the 1960 Oldsmobile Holiday SceniCoupe.

It also appears that the photo has this date in the lower left hand corner? --Bob
Youse guys must be a heck of a lot younger than me? While I do see something in the lower left corner, I do not see a 4/11/33 date. I'll have to take your word for it.

1. What year is it?
I am sure this is the #1 question most of us get? What I do not "get" is why, when my license plate reads Saved 62?

Lincoln, NE. April 11, 1933.
What am I missing? How is it that you are able to state with precision both the location and date?

No safety concerns with the Lambretta side car, right? But then, there is no need for concern, as Italians are known to be careful, courteous drivers!

That is what I thought. Thanks, guys.
I suspect the Lincoln Hwy Assn will be celebrating with caravans not limited to CCCA vintage rides. U.S. 30 in NW Indiana, where I was born and raised, is a part of the Lincoln Hwy system.

This pic appeared on the CLC Forum today:
Any idea where it was taken. No real reason, but I am guessing Detroit? Oops, just noticed the Nebraska Historical Society copyright. So, perhaps Omaha?
-
I went to the site for more info and found my questions are not answered. Does one have to be a CCCA member to go? Is there an age limit as to the cars allowed to participate; such as none newer than 19xx?
To make it plain, I suspect that my 1962 Oldsmobile, being only 51 years young, is not welcome?

Here are mine (the Corvair & Riviera have moved on to new owners):

Would not this year Buick have a GM Protect-O-Plate? If it is present would it not provide engine/trans #'s that were installed at the factory?
-
Oldsmobile, most definitely!
-
In reading this thread the thought hit me that it could be as simple as having the wrong gas cap? If a non-vented cap is on, it will create the same condition you did putting your hand over the filler neck.

Per this site - Searching Auctions for Chrysler New Yorker | Keith Martin's Collector Car Price Tracker - $5K - $13K, depending on condition.

I find the artillery wheels quite interesting. They're a lot like something that could be bought today and I think that they're somewhat distracting from the line and form of the body.
The January issue of HMN did a story on these wheels. It compared them to Cadillac Sabre wheels of the mid-to-late 50's. Per HMN they are a 1 year only item.

I am now leaning on bringing the plate above the sheetmetal to conceal it under the seats.(from frame to frame, or atleast a larger area) to increase strength.

If I understand the post correctly, putting the reinforcement inside the car will not do anything in terms of preventing the seat from ripping out of the floorboard. Or, am I missing something here?

I installed a vacuum operated unit on my '97 Nissan D-21 Pickup. In terms of ït " not looking too out of place," a vacuum unit would fit the bill, but for the tank.

To get access to the lower half of the seal you'll probably want to drop the rear main bearing cap and to do that you need to remove the oil pan. On my older car, there is just enough room that you can get to the bolts holding the upper seal using an open end and plenty of appropriate language. Been a long time since I did that operation, so I am sure I am forgetting a lot.
Hey, you certainly remembered the most important part, "the use of appropriate language"!
I recall having to use a lot of that every time I had to work on my '54 Plymouth!
-
Shall reply to my own message. Found info on the car.Where may one learn more about this car? Is it of Canadian origin, as they did have a Parisienne model in their Pontiac line.Supposedly it still exists, and is in the Chicago area. Has a straight-8 engine. The bubble top to cover the front seat was never made. The interior is pink!!!! The chrome hood trim did make its way into production with the '55 Pontiac. The hubcaps sure look like Cadillac sombrero wheel covers?
-
Any comments??????
I bit. I went, I looked and I joined. Thanks!
-
Do let us know if it worked!
-
I have no idea about the bell housing. But, if it is like the experience I had with my '54 Plymouth being a royal pain to work on, I would hazard a guess it will require the engine be pulled to get at the flywheel?

Additionally, if, when posting, you look to the lower right, below your in-process post you will see 3 blocks. The middle one says "Go Advanced".
Click on "Go Advanced",
Scroll down to ATTACHMENTS, and click on "Manage Attacments".
Marty,
Thanks for laying out the procedure. I am a firm advocate of making use of it, as should be obvious!
-
Not sure which seal(s) you are referring to here? The rear main, back in the day was a rope seal. Yes, neoprene replacements are now available. However, a lot of folk experience leaks with them if not installed properly; and proper installation appears to be an art!

If people would take more time to smell the Roses instead of finding fault with everything. life would go a lot smoother.
After giving this matter some thought for a couple of days, I feel an apology is due. I could have been a bit more subtle, and a little less sarcastic. I apologize for the poor behavior.
As for the substance of my msg, I stand my ground. My point is, one is likely to get more of a response when doing the work for a buyer (posting a pic), instead of asking/expecting a prospective buyer to to do it (ask for pics). Many folk, seeing no pic, will just keep moving on down the boulevard. It is the nature of the beast.
Yes, I now understand there was trouble posting pics. However, that point was not made in the original post.
Again, apology extended.

Did Miss Rainey complete the run in her Oldsmobile Runabout? Anyone know?
