Ken and Liz will surely be missed at Hershey. They're both very gracious and I've always looked forward to visiting. Despite obviously greeting so many of us, they appear to recognize some of us "regulars". Wishing them both improved health ! I've bought and displayed Ken's "Hershey" posters for as many years as I can recall, and enjoy looking at them again and again. I'm looking forward to Dave Snyder's poster, and will include it within our collection.

I enjoy the High Wheeler and Race Car events-

Still Waiting for my packet- Always seems to arrive late, Sometimes even after we have to leave for the long 2-day drive to get there in time to Load-In. have been at Chocolate Field ever since it first opened in 1984 and attended every "HERSHEY" since then CG-32, 33, 34 almost under Lamppost 58 Looking forward to seeing so many familiar and mostly smiling faces

The "Rattle-Can" paint job on the cylinder head, side of the engine block, and radiator hose did the car no favor !

production 1957 MoPar products tended to collect moisture in the headlight brows, and to rust in those locations

We had the 1962 version of this, a Rambler Classic "400" 4-door sedan with the reclining seats which made up into a bed I bought it locally from the original owner around 1986, always garage-kept from new, and with only approximately 1,000 miles, maybe a bit less, or more. All 4 doors had both a roll-up window, as well as a swing open, pivoting vent wing window. With only the four vent windows open, the car rarely even needed the A/C as long as we were moving, and it wasn't excessively hot and humid. We drove it nearly 800 miles round trip to Arab, Alabama to a n AACA Divisional tour hosted by our Buzzards Breath Touring Region. Not surprisingly, the Rambler was an excellent "highway tourer", exceedingly comfortable, and averaged amazing fuel mileage. Being primarily interested in OPEN cars, and already owning our air-conditioned 1963 Impala convertible, A/C 1958 Bel-air sedan, 1952 Kaiser Manhattan, and 1934 Buick sedans, I just couldn't justify having another closed car It was a well equipped, never rusted, great driving 6-cylinder OHV stick shift, and had a Mark-IV set-up from another Rambler which we added to the sedan. It worked and drove excellently. We offered the car to other club members during several national AACA tours, but ultimately sold it to a gent from Mobile Alabama. We offered him a membership but he never followed up.

The EIGHT (8) Cylinder Engine was NOT an option ! All 1932 Buicks had a straight 8 as standard equipment. Buick's last 6-cylinder prior to 1931 was the 1930 model year. Of course, All Buick guys and gals know this, but some other folks also read these posts.

The seller has had too much BRAN in his breakfast cereal, spent too much time down the trail, $#!++!@& in the Little House, and as a result may just be $#!++!@& us ?

@F&J On 8/27/2022 at 12:36 PM, Marty Roth said (Actually "Noted"): THIS IS A QUOTE FROM RUSTY_O'TOOLE: Today we have sealed cooling systems that do not admit air and much better, non corrosive antifreeze. The coolant lasts indefinitely and does not need to be changed.

Thanks Rusty_O'Toole, That is likely the best, and most in-depth explanation, serving the poster's needs - well-done!

Two-fer with a '50 (S pecial Deluxe Sedan?) at the far curb, and a '41 Sport Coupe between her cousins, a mistreated '40s Pontiac and the (probably metallic Green like my Mom's) '51 Chevy Special DeLuxe 4-door Sedan

Bump- Still hoping to find a decent and usable pair of brake drums

Barney, It was actually the late 1950s, 1956 - 1960 Chevys. Here are a couple of videos: And a link to five unusual accessories: https://hhclassic.com/n-11553-5-odd-options-classic-chevys.html

She just let her two brothers out of the trunk?

I have a never-used one stashed away somewhere to use as a display. They don't really serve any purpose here where humidity can run very high. The primary purpose is to add moisture to air rushing into the car, and we surely don't need that here in New Orleans.

Owatonna, MN ??

Sweet ! 1938 either Century Model 66C or Special Model 46C, Convertible Coupe with upper deck lid for the Rumble Seat, and lower deck lid for spare tire and small luggage. This beauty seems all decked out, with: Spotlight Passenger-side exterior mirror Fender Skirts Wheel Trim Rings Trippe Lights Radio Antenna

Interesting 1953 with Air Conditioning !

Co-starring with the lovely 1940 Buick Phaeton, this appears to be American Airline's DC-3, manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company, founded in 1921 by Donald Wills Douglas, Sr. in Santa Monica, California, and continued as McDonnell Douglas.

Nice accessory, but these are a "Bypass" style, not a full-flow, so only a relatively small portion of the oil is actually filtered. Of course regular and frequent oil changes are preferred.

I believe the connection is at the driver-side rear of the transmission

My uneducated assumption per potentially running hotter would be: If the Sock Filter catches quantities of rust/scale, and IF it is not removed or cleaned on a regular basis, accumulated trash could limit the flow of Evaporust coolant, leading to running hotter. Use it, clean out the stocking, run it again, Rinse-and-Repeat as necessary.

Or possibly to retrieve the deceased from location of passing and transport to Funeral Home, Then later use a hearse post funeral? These days they tend to use an unmarked van for that purpose.

Mission Impossible candidate? Car saw itself in reflection, decided to self-destruct?

Me too !!! but gone to a good home
