Mine always runs cool as a cucumber. I keep the louvers ahead of the radiator proped open. I've been playing with the idea of adding A/C to mine, but haven't yet made the decision. Please let me know of your progress.

In the past I've used my wife's electric carving knife - works well on turkey, also

Sorry this happened to you- Some of us have learned to use "ROLLER" tires during a restoration, and to order the new proper tires when nearing completion. Don't feel alone as many of us have gone down this road before - Live and Learn, but be sure to get the new ones on before any serious road work, and good luck with your '57 restoration.

And Eileen (I-Lean) has a sister, the waitress who unfortunately had a cast from her right hip to her ankle. She started her own restaurant- the International House of Pancakes, later shortened and named for her (you guessed it): I-HOP

Non-Belted, Non-radials tend not to do as much damage when they let go, and sometimes it it chunks of tread chunking off, but when a belted radial goes, typically you have substantial bodywork damaged.

Thanks Morgansdad, You amplify exactly what I'm preaching. I replace my tires, especially radials, based on age per date code moreso than treadwear, particularly on vintage cars, trailers, tow vehicles, as well as daily drivers. Also, when having new tires installed, I require the installer to find the latest date codes of the stocked tires, and reserve the right to cancel the sale. The soon-to-be-replaced tires on our Corvette have almost no wear other than a few cross-country trips for tour and/or show, and were only 3 or 4 weeks old when installed

It was fairly common for newer 2-CV models to have an earlier Data Plate attached from a "legit" car from allowed model years. There appear to have been many non-USA vehicles currently titled under less than correct circumstances.

And to think, Our 1988 little red Corvette convertible Repeat Preservation wears an Antique Plate. Our 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, and 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis were eligible for Antique Plates, as well

Hi Phil, I had planned to advise you of our scheduled chapter meeting in Houma, But we had to cancel out of concern for health safety . Maybe next month?

Hi Derek, and welcome to the Buick FORUM- looking forward to more shots of your wagon

1956 Special Riviera Sedan with all four windows down on a frigid winter day, and the occupants not bundled up? Ad intends to show the beautiful lines of a 4-door hardtop, with "speed lines" to show movement, irrespective of icy blast afflicting unaware passengers?

Looks like a West Virginia plate on the '57 Ford - Considering the hills there, maybe they're often driven on two wheels? I've been told that in parts of Southwest Virginia, and West Virginia, if you have very hilly property, cows sometimes have shorter legs on one side of their body, and when buying cattle, you should specify if you want right-hand, or left-hand cows.

Try Crutchfield Car Speakers at Crutchfield www.crutchfield.com I had the exact same issue when replacing the door speakers on our '02 Suburban. The front doos each use both a 4 Ohm Mid-range along with a 4 Ohm Tweeter, wired in series, so no problem there, but the rear doors each use an 8 Ohm speaker which IS available through Crutchfield. Unfortunately the 8 Ohm they had didn't properly fit my truck without modifications, but may work for you. Other sources were found on Amazon.com Good luck, but best to stay with correct specs

Ever tried it? Great stew, maybe similar to Brunswick Stew in Virginia? I recall a great home-style restaurant between Lexington and Frankfort, and some others out in the country. Was a big deal around Derby Day.

TexasJohn55, Yup, when gettin' schooled at U of K in Lexington, Bowling Green was South, but could you get good Burgoo down that way?

Here in Louisiana, the Mason-Dixon line may be just a few miles north of I-10, or anything north of Lake Ponchartrain

Zeke01, I don't know if you've ever ridden a manure spreader, but we lived just north of Fort Wayne, IN in the early 1970s with the pungent aroma of Amish farms for neighbors. For my part, I'll take that red '50 Buick / El Camino mod any day of the week- so, yes, there is no accounting for taste, but if I had a damaged Buick worth saving, needed a light truck, and had the needed skills, Like Ben, I'd proudly drive that red Buick !

Your tag photo clearly shows STYLE No 38-6019S In this case, the "38" indicates the Model Year and the next two (2) digits show it to be a "60" Series Sedan Hope this helps

Used the wrong "LIFT-KIT" ?? Or mayby try lubing it with "OIL OF PINION NUTS" ?

I've been accused of going overboard- On the 1993 Glidden, my '27 Chevy Capitol AA Roadster was recipient of the award for best open early Chevrolet- ... and I was lated jokingly told it was for the "LITTELEST CAR WITH THE MOST NOISE-MAKERS",using our: KLAXON, WOLF WHISTLE, EXHAUST WHISTLE, AND EXPLOSION WHISTLE... SOMETIMES ALL AT ONCE

And the C-4 is even more affordable, essentially in the $10,000 range, with the 1988, like our convertible being extremely comfortable, easy to maintain, and just plain fun to drive. Oh, by the way, ours is an unrestored 150,xxx mile example, having been AACA judged all the way from First Junior to Senior to First and Repeat Preservation, all after having been driven beyond her first 130,xxx miles. Still starts easily every time, makes 28 mpg at Interstate highway speeds, has great heat, A/C, cruise control, stereo, reasonable stowage (considering we've made several weeks-long cross-country trips) if you pack carefully, and can be repaired at just about any GM dealership anywhere.

Actually, our 1980 Fiat Strada, called "Ritmo" in Italy, was a pretty decent 5-door hatchback, and served as a fun little driver for a couple of "circumnavigate the USA" drives for our then-young, growing family. The kids could streatch out in the back when the rear seats were folded, and they had a great view of our upcoming visits to the Snake River Canyon, Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Bryce, Zion, Pikes Peak, etc - all while handling better than the Omni-Horizon, Rabbit -- at least in my opinion, and making excellent fuel mileage. The kids even got to sit on the roof when we opened the sliding metal sunroof and held onto their legs, driving in pitch darkness in the dead of night between Needles, California to Searchlight, Nevada - so they could experience the desert nightlife. The Fiat 124 was a pretty snazzy looking roadster. Oil leaks are part of the experience?

Well .... Some inspiration just turns out to be "Brain-Farts" While I love the pure design of the original "E"-Type, affectionately called the "XK-E", the presented example of a "Family-Truckster" version falls far short of the mark, as well as the "Marque" reputation. Just my opinion, and we all know how much that's worth in real dollars ...
