  1. Agreed , Used to have: 1938 Morgan Barrel Back Trike (3-Wheel), Restored my 1948 MG-TC - Works car from factory with blower, 1955 TR-2, 1952 Jag XK-120MC Then switched to 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce, and a succession of Citroens
  2. This was the smaller series C-24, Brake Horsepower 28 The mid-sized series C-37 was more powerful, like Dave's (and my former 1914 B-37): Brake Horsepower 35 The large series C-54 had a 130 inch wheelbase, 331.5 Cu In, Brake Horsepower 55
  3. Thanks @46woodie , Yes, and I've been accused of wearing a belt AND suspenders ...
  4. Follow-up, We made a tab and mounted as per photo provided by @K8096. Thanks to all.
  5. @ted sweet What? I don't understand . Why did you quote me? Are you upset with my note, and if not, is it that you're unhappy with some other post, but nailing me? Please take thetime to explain, because I don't think I am alienating anyone - certainly not intentionally.
  6. If memory serves, that license would have denoted New York Press I saw lots of them parked out front of the Time & Life Building when my office was on the 4th floor, facing Radio City Music Hall, and Rockefeller Plaza (30 Rock) was diagonally across the street, back in 1967-1968. The street scene is somewhat reminiscent of Far Rockaway, back in the day.
  7. Thank you, Mary Elizabeth - for posting this. My wife Dale and I fondly recall finally meeting your parents when we attended and Judged an AACA Meet at Canyon, Texas, several years ago. Terry, we send our wish for a full and speedy recovery, and offer our thanks for the skill of your doctors.
  8. Ted, I don't understand your comment to my note. Why would my answer to trimacar's question, that I plan to drive my 1941, be an attitude to kill AACA? I've been a supportive member since the 1970s, have over 100 judging credits, have driven every AACA Founders Tour, served several terms in my local chapter and Region, and served multiple terms as Director and VP on our National Board. Please explain.
  9. Wow ! That is an awesome accessory, and one I've never seen. I have no need since all our cars are convertibles, but wish my folks had this when I was a kid, riding in the back seat, sometimes with too much wind in my face
  10. Saw the Maloof collection years ago on a VMCCA tour - rows and rows - a month's worth of each type- '41s, '59s etc Well, we can dream ...
  11. Looped hoses indicate bypassed heater / defroster, so they're probably suffering a leaking heater core. It probably leaked onto the front floor (or carpet if added). Why do owners ignore fixing these things
  12. At this entry level price you have the comfort, step-down handling, and dependability of Hudson - albeit without the Hornet power. Still, a good way into era touring without breaking the bank.
  13. If you really, realy like this style T-Bird, and are looking to get lots of information in just three sentences ...
  14. Yes, and then restore everything remotely appended to the exhaust- but I do appreciate the style, and had considered a restored 1958 my cousin was selling ... But, my wife still prefers the style of our 1954 Cadillac convertible (62 Series) -- says she prefers the tail fins and tail lights on ours ! Happy Wife - Happy Life !
  15. Did you phone Dave Tacheny? His number is: 763-427-3460
  16. I understand your comment per the automatic, and love my 1965 Corvair Monza convertible with the 4-speed, but the 2-speed Powerglide is still an excellent transmission - especially in a Corvair. Our first Corvair, a 1960, was automatic, as was one of our other prior 1965 convertibles - an unusual one with both Powerglide and Posi-Traction! Of course the '65 Corsa convertible with the 4-carb setup was a very different driver.
  17. Aftermarket Bumper Guards like those were somewhat common in places like New York City for cars parked on crowded city streets, as well as for taxicabs constantly in danger of being pushed, banged, and otherwise abused. As a kid in the '40s and early '50s, I saw lots of them - still don't improve the appearance in my opinion.
  18. I got a good reproduction for my 1937 Roadmaster 320 from Old Buick Parts https://oldbuickparts.com/ I don't know what differences exist between the '37 and '36 320 engine Hopefully someone more experienced can chime in. You may wish to contact Dave Tacheny 763-427-3460
  19. K8096 Thank you, both for the update and for the photos. I hope to get back to my car later next week after a few days enjoying visiting family, and will confirm that the tab is in place. That location is surely ideal for the spring to exact a straight pull on the throttle shaft. If by some chance mine is absent, it looks straightforward to make and install., Again, thank for following up, and for sharing the detailed information. It is folks like you who help make our FORUM a great resource.
  20. C'mon, guys -definitely not Shag- Surely you're old enough to remember "Zitspelt" , a A Sheepskin covering - surprisingly expensive - more luxurious to "SIT" (English translation from the German) upon. They were generally offered first to owners of Mercedes - then BMW & Porsche, but eventually the world of sporty car drivers caught on. Generally the were made for bucket seats - mostly initially for open cars because they were cooler to sit on in summer, ande warmer in winter. Seeing a full covering for this style is less common, and still a supposed luxury accessory (and yes, it "could" be covering a torn seat - and sometimes a five cent cigar is just a five cent cigar).
  21. Thank you, @K8096 Actually, I had looked there but didn't see any appropriate place for the hooked end of the spring. My car is standard shift. I've temporarily hooked the spring to the rear edge of the bracket which supports the spark plug wires, but that is a bit off to the driver side instead of a straight rearward pull. It is driveable, but not ideal.
  22. @TAKerry Thank you. I have the front part of the spring attached to the correct part at the carburetor where the rod attaches to pull back on the lever going to the throttle shaft. I just can't see where the back end of the spring should go - basically in a straight line, and likely somewhere under/ behind the crossover pipe of the exhaust manifold. Currently I have the rear part of the spring hooked off slightly to the side, and it is operational, but still need to find the "right" attaching rear point.
