Love the movie. I grew up in Plaistow, about twenty minutes south. Now live in the lakes region. We went on a Christmas walk there last year. The center of town looks the same, shy of the dated cars. Pretty city.

I have been fighting with a death type wobble on my 31 866 coupe. Over the winter, I tightened wheel bearings, drag link ends, steering box. Kingpins are tight with no play. Today I had my garage guy put it up on his lift. Only play seemed to be in the "shock eliminator" when we shook the wheels back and forth, there seems a lot of float in the axle stemming from that piece. We tightened the bolts about two turns each, which looked to make things better. I checked the measurement as the service manual says. My measurement is about 3 3/8 now. Spec should be 3 17/32. My question is what kind of

Original Survivor Car Question for HPOF Class>>1925 yr.

I belong to the antique outboard group. They turned me on to cleaning original motors with WD40. Doesn't bother the paint. Works good with soft brushes or micro fiber towels. Leaves a nice protective finish when done. I like them original and this works great. I have used this method on my old cars for hard to reach spots and small parts. Hope this helps. Dave. -
Thanks guys. I'll try to get my local tire guys to get it up on the lift to check further. I have asked about wheel balancing,and they tell me there is no way for them to do it. I know about the wheel studs for that purpose, maybe I can get them to spin balance on the car. I assume that is still possible.I'll keep working on it. Dave

My car is a 1931 Model 866s sport coupe. I restored it about six years ago. It is a great car to drive and tour with. Late last fall while taking the boss for breakfast, we hit a rough patch in the road. The steering wheel began to shake violently. Only way to stop the shaking was to stomp on the brakes real hard. We went a little further down the road and it happened again. We went home and put the car up for winter. this winter I jacked her up and checked tie rod ends , kingpins, draglink ends, and all parts related to the front end. I tightened the draglink ends as the manual talks about

Thanks guys. I didn't mean to stir up a hornet's nest. I had my own thoughts both ways, which is why I sought out other opinions. I'll have the boss read through this and we'll have our own discussion. I really enjoy this forum. Keep up the great work!!

My wife and I are planning to go on the Glidden Tour this fall. I was told she would feel much safer if I installed seatbelts in our 1931 Buick Sport coupe. I have concerns with fastening them to the wood frame under the seat. There is not a good place on the frame to attach them. I have looked at lots of videos and it looks like most are just fastened to the floor pans with big washers in later cars. I am looking for thoughts for guidance, or if this is even a good idea. Thanks Dave

Hi Pete. I think you measured right. Tires for those rims would be for 18 inches. Mine are 19 and have six lugs. I didn't mention that last nite not thinking there would be anything different

Looking for a pair of 19 inch wire wheels spares for my 1931 8-66 sport coupe. Any leads appreciated. Thanks for looking. Dave in N.H.

Does anyone out there have one of these cars, or at least some pictures? Thanks Dave
