  1. Or possibly a windshield wiper part.
  2. Some amazing deals there. Matt, where are you moving to?
  3. Thanks to all for this information and identification. The larger emblem is currently for sale on Ebay, please see the listing for more photos and a detailed description. Original MERCEDES BENZ Daimler Auto Data Plate Model 130 W123 1934-36? VERY RARE | eBay
  4. That emblem was used from 1932-34 on the sidemounted spares, with a larger duplicate on the trunk rack.
  5. Wow, I love it! Seems like a good price but I'd want to check out that trunk floor...
  6. Thanks very much for all the information! My cap is interesting in that it is solid with no removeable grease cap, would have been more involved to keep the bearings lubed than most other makes. Also interesting about the Durant Star and switch to the Rugby name.
  7. This original badge emblem was only used on the rear door panels of the Limited model. 2 1/2" wide by 1 5/16" high. Very good used condition, Fox company makers mark. Currently available on Ebay only, see the listing for a detailed description and more photos. Original Buick Enamel Interior Door Badge Emblem 1941-42 Limited Fox VERY RARE | eBay
  8. I found this large heavy British hubcap, painted cast iron with a nickel plated brass center emblem: "THE STAR ENGINEERING CO. LTD. WOLVERHAMPTON". The cap is 8 5/8" diameter and 3 1/2" high with five 7/16" holes. Have also seen a photo of a similar enamel radiator emblem labeled "THE STAR MOTOR Co Ltd". I would like to know about the company's history, age of the cap and what it was used on, car or truck. TIA for any help.
  9. I agree with Willys:
  10. I love wagons! A definitely rare car at a very reasonable price.
  11. I can honestly say that I never got stuck or did not make it home due to snow in all my driving years in Illinois when I was actually driving, including a couple of major blizzards. I did get plowed under once while parked and had to come back later to dig out my 55 Ford. Surprisingly one of the best winter cars we ever had was a 1973 Opel Manta with regular all season radials. Don't know why, I always said it was so light it stayed on top of the snow instead of sinking in...
  12. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and drove old rear wheel drive cars in the winter from the 60s through the 80s. We took the snow and ice as a challenge and I don't ever remember taking a "snow day". Moved to Dallas Texas in 1992 and while I could still drive in the snow, NO ONE else had a clue. Add in the fact no city owns a snow plow! I still made it to work but since I retired I just stay home until it melts.
  13. The 1912 Marquette was built that year only in Saginaw, MI and it had no connection to Buick. Buick used the Marquette name much later in 1929-31 for their companion car model.
