capngrog Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I've been known to do that. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one, and am perhaps somewhat normal (for a gear head). Cheers, Grog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 When I had the '25 Pierce Arrow series 80, every night, before turning in, I went out and stroked one of the headlamps! I sure wish I could have kept that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure wish I could have kept that car. Wayne, that car is now in very capable hands in Arroyo Grande. I drove it for a few minutes a year ago, after adjusting the carb. You can see it again at the *2021* PAS Meet in Buellton, CA in the latter part of June, 2021. Stay in touch, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thanks George! So did the car finally get a good caretaker? I wish I could have kept it. It should have been driven and enjoyed, but maintained to preserve its low mileage originality. Especially, that interior! I think it was one of the finest original mohair interiors I have ever seen. The paint on the body had been redone at some point a long time ago. However, many people thought it was original. And of course the fenders aprons etcetera was redone more recently, but looked very nice. I heard years ago that it was almost completely restored. As long as it is being well taken care of. Maybe one day I will be able to get back on tours again. I sure hope so. I miss the cars and antique car people, following a line of incredible nickel era cars, horseless carriages, even model Ts. I hope to see you on another tour before too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licespray Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I’m currently saving to buy a Willy’s Knight that needs restoration big time. I’ve been selling off the gun collection to fund its purchase (assuming the seller doesn’t want too much). Wife asked am I ok with parting with the guns. I said they’re just sitting unused in a safe, having this car sitting in the carport even if it’s not driveable yet will bring me more joy to look at than they do. Besides, once a project is secured you can take as long as you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trini Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Happiness is a state of the mind. So if you are happy seeing your toy, that is being happy. When I look at my 28 DB Senior project I feel happy like pig in mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
