  1. Marbeton, I have found both a speedo and speedo casing for the speedometer cable. The cable casing is very nice, clean and flexible, the speedo looks good and turns both the odometer and  speed drives. The cable itself is not there. This mounts on the bottom of the speedo housing with a single fastener. If this helps let me know. Rob

  2. My inclination is Plymouth. Dodge, DeSoto or Chrysler, 1930/31. The clamps look like the ones on my 30 Chrysler CJ, Plymouth used these also for a while. 4 bolt is another similarity. From reading the tape measure it appears to be a 19" where the tire would seat on the rim. IMO Rob

  3. Typically this sway bar has oval ends where they go into the link, see if you can rotate the link 90 degrees and pull the link off the bar. That of course depends on the link being moveable  or loose on the bar. Try some Kroil, PB Blaster or other de-ruster to "soften" the rubber. Rob

  4. I have gone to this event (the Old Car Festival) since the mid 60's, with a hiatus during times away. This is a must see and certainly on anybodies "bucket list" for good events to attend, display or not. Where else can you see 200 plus brass era cars in operation and on display at one place. I presume the idea to handle the "Pass in Review" was to consolidate and speed up the process without trying to kill off the program. How much can ANYBODY say interesting after the 30th 1930 Model A Ford Coupe passes in review. I know I'll catch heck for this, but that is reality. A sampling of cars makes the conversation and viewing better for the audience (which is what "pass in review" is for) than overwhelming them with many multiples of the same cars. Any change is hard, but I feel (no knowledge of their intentions) that this itself would be a better move and far more interesting for the crowds. I try to go each year possible, will continue to go as often as possible and highly recommend it for those who have not been before. Logistics of the 800-1000 vehicles is daunting, just think about the trailers/equipment, staff parking and the thousands of visitors that this event has attracted in the past. Kudos to The Henry Ford for trying to look at the objective (Visitors) and putting on what in my mind is one of the premier events for vehicles of this era. Rob

  5. If the threaded end is the same on all 4 these are rear wheel caps. Hard to find but not a set. If you need fronts which are shorter get with me. Dodge 8 1930, maybe 31 wood wheel. Correct rears are very hard to find. Typically the fronts are as I said shorter and have a nice finished ridge on the open end. Rob
