Guest etolen Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 My wife is the proud new owner of a 1925 Oakland Sedan, in running condition, but it needs a couple parts. It needs a radiator cap/hood ornament. I would either like to get an original one if possible, if not I would like to get pictures of one so I could maybe have one fabricated. The car also has the original paint which is completely gone in a few spots, especially on the engine cover. Should I have the car repainted, and if so what "rules" should I abide by to maintain its original condition?<P>Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Guest Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Ed -<BR>Click on this: <A HREF="http://www.poci.org/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.poci.org/</A> for access to the leading marque club for Oakland.<P>If the better half has an antique car, maybe you ought to consider getting one also - like his and her's Oaklands! <P>Restoring is always the first thought when a car is not perfect. But if the paint is original and in pretty good shape other than a few thin spots and the car is basically original it could be a prime candidate for HPOF status in the AACA. Take a look at the HPOF rules: <A HREF="http://www.aaca.org/judging/Section4.htm#F."

Guest c.johnson Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Ed,<P>There is another club for Oaklands, the Oakland Owners Club International (OOCI.) Although they don't have a web site so far, they specialize in ONLY Oaklands, and some even have the same year as yours. <P>Let me know if you are interested and I can put you in contact with someone.<P>cj<BR>oakland1922@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2001 Share Posted August 31, 2001 Ed,<BR>Why not try the AACA library. They might be able to provide you with a photocopy of what you're looking for. Also, they might be able to direct you to an Oakland Club.<BR>Good luck.<BR>Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
