Yes as far as I know it was, I have pics. of it from a number of years before and it looked like new, so, he must have bought it here in CA, he was from Mattawan and Paw Paw, but, he moved out here after he married my grandmother in 1951. All my cars have or had rust on the bottom of the door, like this one

It was white all orig. and it was sold in 1984 or 1985, my grandfather, John Frimand owned it. It was a CA car and was sold in West Covina after he died, but, it had been located in City of Industry at Frimand's Public scales, it had plate number JTD266, I searched it at DMV and they did not come up with anything. Anyway, here are some pics. let me know if you know how I could find it or if you know where it is!

Anyone know where I can find a steam car in good condition, that runs? and won't be an arm and a leg, and how much do they go for?

Just wondering where I could find an Antique Electric car for a good deal, that runs!

I'll take the '57!

I did a search through DMV and they did not have the plate on file, but, how many white 1958 Imperial Lebarons can ther be? Especially with that Louvered rear window, from CA, I have some more pics. of it from about 10 years before that I just found and it looked like brand new!

That was alot of money during the depression.

Make sure about all the fluids, because that trannie can cost $ $ $ to fix! and make sure that the timing gear is ok, mine sheared off because it was archaic and some of the teeth were missing (of course mine is a Merc. V-8 from that time not the 12, but, maybe ford had the same kind of timing gear in the lincolns too?

Oh! It looks exactly like a Plymouth! I looked it up! Interesting!

Do you have some pics.?

If you don't want it I will take it and restore it!

Strange!

Wow! Thats not bad! anyone else have any experience with these?

Stay on topic and mine is only about t.v. commercials, no slogans here! What's your favorite, R.W.? Here is mine:

Seems like it takes more to start a '23 'T' than my '490', I was not aware of that, thought they were similar. On my '21 '490' here is the way I start it: Make sure the Carb knob is set right Spark and Throttle are usually set from previous drive (usually don't have to touch those much except when the car gets hot or I want more speed) press the starter button on far right adjust the carb knob give it some gas off you go. shift like you would any normal stick shift, except, the car has to be at the right speed, or you will grind the gears. They are not synchronized. Sometimes if you have everything set right, the car drives itself! the gas peddle is really not used unless you need more power for a hill or want to go faster, but, it will usually go 20 mph w/o the gas peddle being touched. But, you have to be careful, because it will get flooded if you are not careful with the gas peddle! There are 2 large size peddles, 1 clutch, 1 brake, then the little gas peddle and you have the spark and throttle on the steering wheel and the choke knob in the dash. My grandpa showed me all the secrets of how to get the car running right and started before he died, because he drove ones like it when they were only a few years old. Thank goodness, because I am the only one who knows how to start it and literature and owners are hard to come by for advice, I have had to fashion my own parts!

I found this car in my google search thought it was worthy for it's own post. Have you ever seen it? http://www.bt.com.bn/en/node/32069/print

I googled 'the ugliest car ever' and see what I found, a few are lists, the other is one with some pics. of a 'unique' Corvette, tell me what you think!: http://neptune.spacebears.com/gallery/ugly.html http://varifrank.com/archives/2007/08/worlds_ugliest.php http://www.bt.com.bn/en/node/32069/print http://www.dailylemon.com/pages/page_002.asp http://auto.commongate.com/post/world_s_cheapest_if_not_ugliest_car_introduced_2500/

What was the best auto commercial of all time?

If I did I would not tell! LOL!

my uncle's is taken! I am going to take it for a test drive with my dad next week and if my dad wants to buy it than he will! It sounds like it could be a great car! Any Idea about MPG?

Is it performance, interior, comfort, looks, etc.? What do you look for?

Anyone know any problems, etc. that they might have had? And according to my description do you think it is a good deal?

The one that I am looking at is my Uncle's and it looks like the one in RSSmith's post, except it is a 1989 and it is White with a red leather interior (which is immaculate!) and AM/FM Cassete, the everything works perfectly and it is fully loaded with all the options, it runs perfectly (I am going to take it for a test drive next week) and it has like 60,000 on it or so, it looks great (2 footer) but, will need paint in a couple years, it needs the heater fixed but, thats it, he works for our local Chevy/Buick dealer and he got the car back in 2006 (when he sold the Mark V to me for $500!) and it was a trade in from an old lady (no kidding!) who was 90 and she bought a new Buick and my Uncle bought the '89 from her because they would not trade it in because of the age, anyway, my Uncle wants to get rid of it now, because he wants to get an Avalanche. So, he wants $2000 for it and my dad wants to use it, because it will be good on gas. So, tell me what you think!

Just wondering where you have seen pre 1980 cars in the movies and t.v.?
