PLease read all above. Stuff still turning up; Phantom 1 R.R. (not Springfield) spare tire retainer consisting of rround shaft with disc on one end and threaded single bar handle on the other; Hydraulic top cylinder for first series Mustang. Yup, 25 bucks apiece. If you have any itch at all for the rare Cicca Tenor horns (sold) please speak up now. I have a buyer, provided I pack and ship them, which involves a bit more time and effort than just lugging them to Hershey. Dave

I believe the Cugnot was never known to actually run. Correct me if I am wrong.

$300,000 agreed value? Arson anyone?

Waldren, they came from a Lincoln in the '46 to '48 year range. I don't know if '42's are the same, but think they are not.

More eclectic stuff; (it's beginning to come out of the woodwork), same terms as above; 4 decent driver quality '66 Mustang wheel covers; 2 nos '42 Studebaker right front bumper tips, yes, BOTH are right side; set of front bumper tips and bumperettes for ca. '46-'48 Lincoln, '49-'50 Chev. radio delete, nos, with another nos one for a stepdown Hudson also thrown in if you want it.... Dave

Shocks sold. More $25 bargains from the "shelf"; (Hershey delivery if pre-purchased.) Good '28 Hudson (?) headlight with perfect Parabeam #L269 lens also fitting Franklin, Moon, Diana, Stutz, Int'l. Houdaille shock, "F1215" on arm, NOS appearing, Studebaker? Pair Trippe lights, rough, incomplete, for parts (sold) Rochester Quadra jet '76 Buick 455 carburetor, casting # 17056240 (sale pending, 9 21 '13)

Shock absorber links, early V8 Ford.

I'll be back again at Hershey 2013 at space CE76. In addition to Model A Ford shiny stuff, XK120 Jaguar parts, mixed make parts, tools and literature, there's also still stuff from the mistake shelf, though it's a bit depleted. New blunders will be added too, in subsequent posts. This goof-up stuff has been in the way too long, so, your choice @ $25 each for Hershey delivery if prepaid; otherwise I'm not lugging it. "32 Hudson windshield frame good (sold), large series; pair of Delco ride control rear shocks #47392 and 47393 from a heavy classic, ca. 1930, not frozen;(sold) '35-'36 Ford sedan humpback trunk lid with support, good; pair of ca. late '20's Cicca Tenor motor driven trumpet horns, poor condition (sold). PM me for pics, info. Dave

That thing on the couch appears to be a WW11 era aircraft oxygen bottle

In my personal, and admittedly biased opinion, the Ruxton sedan doesn't have it all over an L29 sedan. The Cord has it aesthetically, and as for rarity, aren't Yugos sort of rare too?

Susan, Many thanks for putting the list together. As usual, I will be at CE76, "the home of genuine vintage Hershey mud". I will have a smattering of literature, tools, automobilia, parts for various cars, including Model A, a few for Cord and XK 120 Jag. Dave

Give the soaking more time. Pack cotton around each stud with the nuts off and saturate with penetrant. Give it a week, replenishing the penetrant from time to time. An excellent product to use is "Kroil". After that, put 2 nuts with a washer in between them on a stud and try to loosen the stud with a wrench on the lower nut. Don't wring it off though! Try tapping sideways too. If the worst happens and the head is ruined in attempts to remove it, there are plenty of them around. Be careful to not damage the block.

It's an accessory stone shield that goes in front of the radiator for protection. The badge is not too clear, but appears to perhaps be for a Chrysler, circa 1930.

MODEL A DUESENBERG PRICES FROM 1935; 1924 $50 1925 $75 1926 $75 1927 $100 But these were wholesale prices. Retail could have been a whopping 25 or 50 bucks more!

I have owned my Cord Armchair Beverly for 60 years. It's family. I tell people that I plan to be buried in it. (Some actually believe me) Then there's the one about the grave digger, watching a luxury car used as a coffin being lowered into the huge grave excavaton, who says "boy, that's really living".....

Since the following items aren't technically for sale, and are "crossover" items, of possible interest to both Nash aficionados and sign collectors as well, I have posted them in this category. Please forgive if that is a goof. They are three Nash neon window hanging signs, dating from the early '50's. They hung in the showroom window to be seen from the outside. Respectively they say "Nash with Hydramatic Drive", "Nash Statesman", and "Nash Airflyte". I don't need three Nash signs and would consider swaps of 2 of them for other signs, (or?) to diversify my collection. Exchange at Hershey would seem plausable, due to their fragility. Please PM me. Dave

The Wills Sainte Claire had a gray goose mascot. With "Clairmonte" on the base, it may be a clue that it's from one of them.

Fender is in very nice condition. Small handling dent on top. $3,500

Here's what some of those nasty noisemakers look like. Hollywood Wolf Whistle, spark plug explosion whistle, Sparton 3-note, exhaust slide whistle, and Trico vacuum horns. Another annoying one is the Bermuda Bell. It's all for fun now.

Sparton, with a self contained motor-driven vane type compressor. This is an antique horn, produced with either 3 or 4 trumpets, playing pre-programed tunes. A later Sparton 3 trunpet vibrator type electric horn had a "keyboard". allowing you to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or other tunes with those notes.

Until reading the United Motors Corporation history provided by Oracle, I didn't know that Klaxon Horn was one of their holdings. Thanks Oracle. In addition to making nice horns, their boxes were no slouch either.

All this stuff is still here except for the Darrin horn ring and the Pierce Arrow bumpers. I'm adding a '35-'36 Ford humpback trunk lid to the pile, and you can take your pick for 25 bucks, delivered to Hershey.

Oops, I'll have to eat crow on this one. After reading the Delco Remy history the fact is that there WAS a United Motors Service Inc. No explanation was given concerning when or why there was a name change from United Motors Corporation, or if the two corporations co-existed. .

The hook at the right side at the top of the body engaged the bumper's bracket.

Many moons ago I did a tuneup on a "stepdown" Hudson. I tossed the old plugs in a coffee can for possible future use on my Ford. Years later I cleaned them up, and look what I saw......
