Maybe he'll Re-List it again when it doesn't sell, but next time at $35,000 ? It didn't sell originally in September, 2021, at $20,000 but then "SOLD"in October at $20,000 so was relisted in July, 2023 at $25,000 and now reduced again at $24,000/OBO No Trades

I also had a 2-CV for several years- Probably the only car which could TAKE A TURN ON ALL FOUR TIRES --- AND THE DOOR HANDLES --- AT THE SAME TIME. Ours was a 1964 with the 435 cc horizontally opposed air-cooled 2-cylinder, and this one appears to be the "BIG BLOCK 602 cc"

The Belle Chasse Tunnel is now permanently closed for replacement by a bridge, while the Harvey Tunnel will undergo two years of major maintenance. Tunnels under canals in the New Orleans area's west bank

another very decent example, but without A/C- and yes, I know folks felt it wasn't really necessary up north, but I recall sweltering summers up there, as well

Now Relisted at $11,000 firm? Was later corrected by original poster (OP), and is still $22,500CA I don't find this. I wonder, is that the $11,000 CA, or US? If that is a Canadian dollar price , dropping by half would be only $8,250 US, and sounds too low but an exceptional deal- wish I could have it, but no room at the inn.

Dave, that mirror has more the appearance of an aftermarket, rather than a factory specific part. Sorry I can't help, but if you don't find another exact model, I would think other period correct aftermarket items should be as accurate. In any case, best of luck in your search

Kind of like when somebody interrupts you by saying "I don't mean to interrupt"? Do they really believe you won't become aware of their cars flaws, or do they think you're expecting the worst, and that their car is a bit better? No - just hoping you are not as aware as you should be. Let the Buyer Beware !

Ben is correct. What I do is to disconnect the speedo cable from under the dash, and carefully pull the actual cable out of its sheath. Then wipe it clean and remove any hardened grease and foreign matter. Inspect it for any damage, or evidence of fraying. I like to use Lubri-Plate or a good white lithium grease - at least that is what my Dad taught me back in the 1940s, and still works best in my opinion. I use large quantities of the grease on the cable, and twist the cable as I work it in and out of the sheath over and over, going deeper and deeper each time. The first time my wife watched as I had to do this to our '54 Caddy while on a tour circling Lake Erie, she laughed her head off, commenting, and complimenting me on my "technique", mmm ... asking if I had anything planned for the evening..... Oh, be sure to wipe the grease before showing your wife how accomplished you are.

Until this thread I had never thought much about protecting my trailers from theft. While my oldest enclosed car hauler, a closed and an open utility trailer are in the backyard of our old place where my son now lives, the newer trailers are in a fenced and padlocked storage lot. The owner used to live right next door in his body shop, but has sold the body shop business and lives away. The basic tongue padlocks could be defeated with some effort, and a bit harder on trailer doors/ramps. I've considered heavy chains looped through the wheels when overnighting along the way or at venues, but hadn't done this yet. I understand that would only be a deterrent, not a preventative. My late Dad used to say "Locks are for honest people - To help keep them honest. Somebody who wants to steal is going to."

Just noticed the rumbleseat passenger - Maybe the comment should have been: "Ay-EE! -- Chi-hua-hua !!"

John, I absolutely agree with your evaluation. Having restored my 1948 MG-TC back in the 1960s it was my favorite, and with respect to other folks, the TD would also be lower on my list. Now, the American Classics and Brass, and our later toys are hard to surpass.

Is that what damaged the reflector on the left Driving Light?

I'm out of space, and should really be cutting back, anyway- thankfully I'm not close-by, as this would be a fine cruiser for those cross-country "newer car" tours

The "Asking" price in Canadian dollars would convert to approx $12,375 US

We have our very first DIVERGENT DIAMOND at the ground level entrance to our new terminal at Louis Armstrong International Airport, formerly known as Moisant (MSY). Another I'm familiar with is at exit #407 of I-40 in Tennessee , where the new Buc-ee's was built.

Dad always carried a Tripod worm-drive bumper jack in every car he owned, at least when we had REAL bumpers. Wish I had kept his, but when touring I carry an aluminum trolley jack and jack stands in case I have a chance to help someone else- mane the kids gave me a deWalt battery Impact with metric and SAE deep well socket sets

This would be considered a 6-window- wrong wheel, loose lug nut missing skirts & Wheelcovers, rust issues per undercarriage considering Pittsburgh?

My wife could back it into a tight space on the 4th floor parking deck at the mall, leaving space to open the doors on both sides, and in her younger days, would have jacked up the flat tire on the front right 3rd axle, mounted the spare, replaced the missing wheel cover, and do it all without missing a beat.

Many, many moons ago while in Phoenix on assignment, I took the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. I also held an SCCA competition license for most of the 1960s, driving E and F Production classes. A lady I dated also drove H Production with her Sprite. Back in 1960, having won the JC Safe Driving Road-E-O both for my home town of Linden, and later for the State of New Jersey, the organizers arranged for me to attend the Safe Driving course offered to Esso Standard Oil employees at their Research Center in Linden. At the national competition inside the District of Columbia Armory, representing NJ, I glanced up into the crowd, saw my parents, temporarily lost concentration, and brushed the curb during the parallel parking event - normally one of my exemplary areas. I was told later by the judges, that the points lost there moved me from first place to fourth, completely out of scholarship awards, and down to "Honorable Mention" (4th out of 51 contestants - no consolation).

You may want to specify the year of your Chevy as they are not necessarily all the same- 1914?, 1927?, 1928 with two exhaust ports? Modern 1970s?

1956 and delivering newspapers on three different routes. A customer couldn't pay the $0.37/ weekly charge, but when the tab got to $15, she signed over the title to the derelict 1932 Chevy 5-window coupe. Within a couple of hours Dad (and I) got it running and driving, and I was sill three years away from being a licensed driver. 1959 - A friend's Mom and dad had previously given his older brother a new 1956 Dodge D-500 for his graduation from Rutgers. His old red 1949 Pontiac convertible slept in the barn for nearly three and a half years until I visited and noticed it. A jumped battery plus $75 and I drove it 60 miles home from the Jersey shore to Linden. Ity had absolutely no canvas for the convertible top so we dressed warm. My brother held a flashlight on the dash because the dash lights were out (later cleaned the wires on the headlight switch rheostat) so we didn't risk speeding. A junk yard almost new convertible top, rebuilt clutch-pressure plate-throughout bearing, and a pair of Pep Boys Recap tires, and I was good for a summer in the Catskills, playing trumpet in a band at a resort hotel before starting college that fall. 1963 - $5 for a non-running 1953 Sears Allstate (Vespa) motor scooter. just needed a woodruff key to lock the flywheel and timing. Drove a complete lap of the USA that next summer, earning expenses along the way by taking my trumpet, tux, sleeping bag, and Musicians Union card - calling ahead for work in several cities as needed - (NJ to Maine to Oregon & Washington - then gave up on the Al-Can Hwy so drove the PCH all the way through WA, OR, CA - started for the Baja, but somewhere beyond Tijuana, I realised not speaking Spanish was a major problem. I scootered back across the south, crossing AZ, NM, Texas took forever, and then was amazed by New Orleans (didn't get back there until 1968). Back in Jersey around late autumn, and having skipped a semester at Univ of KY, I enrolled at Monmouth U at the Jersey shore, changed majors, bought and sold a $249 '56 Bel-air convertible and a $525 '58 Impala convertible, and got into sports cars with a 1956 TR-2, learning very soon how to replace the 1st/reverse idler gear which went out every time I autocrossed. A mistaken and misbegotten example of a relationship put me back into an oil-burning $15 1960 Rambler American, and only my trumpet case could hold the driver seat from constantly reclining while I tried to drive. Replacing piston rings in the horribly grooved first two cylinders cured its 15 miles per quart of drain oil and I later sold it to a neighbor for $300(?). He may still be driving it if the trunnions haven't failed. Several others at slightly higher expense, including a $60 TR-3A in Fort Wayne back in late 1970, but I dumped it almost immediately with a very minor profit. It has been a journey, an experience, and built some really funny memories.

Maybe an HPOF candidate, and likely a decent budget way into the hobby.

Possibly a stuck lifter which could be "cured/freed up" with a good engine flush and "mouse-milk" additives? At a slightly Low-Ball offer, this could be worth a try, but way too far away for folks in my area, considering likely transport costs. Then again, my preference would have been a 1956 with a 12 volt system, so easier to add A/C, and the water stains on the rear seat are discouraging, as well

True, our old 1914 Buick was a great runner, and the 6 cylinder Buick is even more of a "driver"

Sorry for your injury, and hope you meny quickly and fully. I know these types are a real "pain in the back". Hopefully you'll get to participate another time, but for now just concentrate on family and healing.
