No, supercharged cars have a 150 mph speedo.

I see a few faults.......it’s the shortcuts one can’t see in photos that haunt you. Like many cars, it’s a roll of the dice, try your luck. Plan on spending money sorting it.........are the head’s reproduction ......if they are original that’s a big gamble right there. The price isn’t particularly attractive to me, as I have been lurking looking for a 810/812 for a while now. The old rule applies.....nothing is more expensive than a car that was a “good deal”.
The heads are JK Howell reproductions,.

There was an L29 in Quebec in the 1950's with a slanted windshield. I wish I knew more about it but I have only seen photos.

Too easy............
SJN Duesenberg chassis, short wheelbase, from 1936.
Body- one off design by Rollston, true roadster, with a crazy laid back windshield. Chrome wire wheels with wheel disks, and a bunch of other one off details. Conservative but smart styling.
Ed, When you order the SJN, please pick a dark colour. I would be happy to pick it up at the factory and deliver it to you......free of charge (I'll even pay for the gas).

John,
I resume that this is J256, early in its life and long before the side mounted spares were added by Pete Warvel in the mid 1960's. Do you have any information on where the photo was taken and when ?
thanks, Mike

Is the correct carburetor available ?

Especially towards the end - I think if you could have inspected them in person the prices would have been much better. Those grilles in particular were a real deal for someone.
Absolutely, those 41 Cadillac grills sold for peanuts

Don,
If it ran better before, the kit is likely not correct for your carb. I suggest you call Jon (Carbking on this site) at the Carburetor Shop, give him your carb number and he will provide a kit specifically for your car. Jon only answers the phone on Mondays and Tuesdays.

When I lived in a large metropolitan area finding a capable machine shop willing to do one of and multi operation type work was very difficult. Now I live in a small town with two great machine shops and an experienced, well equipped engine builder close by. There is a huge antique boat customer base in my area, so the machine shops maintain there older equipment and are used to one of type work. It's not inexpensive but I am able to get most things done locally. Hard chrome, porcelain and any type of plating are all hours away with long turn around times.

There are two of them, both owned by the same collector.

This was the Barrie, Ontario swap meet in 1985. The photo could pass for Hershey some years in the past.
That was when it was worth going to !

Also check to see that your shift linkage is not interfering with any wiring.

Pete,
I'm surprised you don't have 3 in a drawer in your office !

I know of an award-winning Boss 302 that doesn't have connecting rods or pistons inside its priceless numbers-matching block. Can't risk, you know, blowing it up by using it for what it was designed to do.
That is so sad !

John, I am enjoying your photos. Keep up the great work, please.

1936-37 Cord phaeton. Back top window Wanted
in Parts Wanted
Posted
West,
To be absolutely correct for judging:
The top on an early 1936 phaeton does not have a removeable back window curtain. The rear window on these early cars is the small oval, commonly seen on convertible coupe cars.
Late 1936 and all 1937 phaeton tops have a removable rear window curtain, which uses the larger oval window.
Try backing up a phaeton with a small rear window.....and you will know why the change was made.
