I'm in south central Michigan. About 150 miles from you. Very interested. Price?

I would like to put an overdrive transmission into my 1940 Champion. A good used one would be fine as this is going to be just a driver. Any leads would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a picture of how the jack ,handle and base is installed in the truck? Also I'm in need of a courtesy light lens for the 1940 champion. I believe other years will work.

I have been unable to return to this thread for a while but in the meantime, after many unsuccessful tries, I have been able to install the windshield. I installed the rubber seal on one piece of glass and installed it. Then (with 2 people and four patient hands) installed the other half of the rubber onto the other half of the windshield and then installed that half. Unfortunately the space between the glass was too narrow for the metal divider strip. I carefully marked the drivers side glass which seemed to be to far to the center and had about 1/8 inch of glass removed. I then reinstalled that half as before and then installed the divider strip. I can only assume that the new rubber seal was a bit thicker than needed or there was some other issue that caused the space between the two pieces of glass to be to narrow. The 2 pieces of glass were new and cut to the exact size as the old glass. In any case , the windshield is installed and seems to be sealed properly. The first rain storm will be the test. Thanks for all the previous suggestions and hope my info will help some else. I don't claim that this is the proper method but it worked for me

Reassembling a 1940 champion 4 door sedan after paint and have not been able to figure out how to reinstall the windshield. I have a new seal from SI. I've inserted both sides of the glass into the rubber channel, but when I try to install from the inside it all seems to wide to fit into the windshield opening, i.e. the "A-pillars" are preventing me from getting the glass and seal to the windshield opening. What am I doing wrong? Is there a "trick" or technique in getting the glass and seal flush to the inside of the windshield so that the rubber seal can be pulled over the flange. I know about the string in the channel to pull the rubber over the flange but I can't get to that point. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

more pictures and info. I bought the car a few weeks ago from a widow living a bout 30 miles away. Herr husband died a couple of years ago and the car had since been sitting. She hires a local gut to work on the car. He replace the radiator water pump gasket and heater hoses. The car still had very bad brakes and wasn't running very well. She didn't want to put any more money into it, so I bought the car to help her out. I have since corrected the brake problem (vacuum hose not connected properly) and with a minor tune-up and carb cleaner the car now stops and runs fine. The car has been repainted and reupholstered in the past. Excellent job on both. It is a very solid car, NO RUST. Everything works. Really a great buy.

Nathan, Thanks for the offer but I don't need any parts at this time. The car I'm working on is pretty much complete.

I'm getting a 1940 Champion 4 door sedan stripped down ready for paint but I haven't figured out how to remove the glass from the rear doors. I have the glass removed from the roll down mechanism but it seems that the glass itself is too large to remove thru the window opening. Must be a trick! Can anyone help?

YES!!! Not necessarily that particular style but that's what I'm looking for. Thanks for posting the picture!

thanks for the E Bay suggestion but I have already checked there. Plenty of "Taxi" roof lights (already have one) but not what I am looking for. I need the 2 small lights that are usually placed on each side of the roof, either at the "B" pillar or over the 2 rear doors.

Looking to buy a set (2) of taxicab "vacancy" lights. These are sometimes domed shape and are located on the roof at each side of a taxi usually above the "B" pillar. I'm looking for 1930-1940 vintage.

I have a couple of extra Model R carbs. It will be a day or two before I can get to my parts bin and take a close look at exactly what I have to sell and what kind of condition they are in. Larry ellagee@charter.net

Can anyone tell me if the Golden Commando was available in 1956? Was it also a 2 4barrel carb as in 1958?

Do you still have this car? I need the interior arms rest and pull straps. Also the red trim around the interior door push buttons.

Can anyone give me a brief description of the differences between a Club Sedan, 5 passenger sedan and Touring Sedan? I'm considering a trade for a 115C and need to know bit more about the model. Also price range for a Touring Sedan in very good condition (Good paint, good upholstery , good engine, everything works)

Price reduced to $13,900.

Just acquired a 1948 Lincoln Continental as a trade. I don't know much about these vehicles ( a have Studebakers). The car is equipped with the V12 engine and has a single 1 barrel carburetor. I have pictures of the car from the 1980's and it had 2 carburetors with an air cleaner on both sides of the motor at that time. What would be the correct stock setup? Did the come both ways from the factory?

Still looking for a 1956 Plymouth parts car.
