So far as being to see anything with the light they cast - well - you get more illumination when you press the button on your wristwatch to see what time it is. I have found that Marchal lights and Grebel lights are fairly decent for after dark illumination. Perhaps the owner of that car can do the same as Hemi Joel, and clean up the contacts on the switch to see if that makes a difference.

It's Vancouver B.C. This photo was recently featured in the local Vintage Car club newsletter. 822 Seymour Street. It's from the city of Vancouver archives. Prime real estate these days. All massive skyscrapers . In the 1970's when I was a teen a good number of buildings from this time still survived, only a small handfull have made it to the present day. I barely recognise the West end of Vancouver anymore. This is what it looks like these days.

Walt G Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 thanks so much for the update on the location and sadly the "progress" regarding tall more modern buildings. As some of you have read here I have mentioned my great interest in older structures - buildings, houses, garages and especially those that have managed to survive to this day and are now 80+ years old. Preserving the landscape of structures is so important, seeing in person "non plastic and alloy" examples that still have their masonry, wood, and cast metal components is as great as seeing a car with original features that are still in use or restored. Sure repurpose an old building or house, fit new wiring, windows and doors too if in the original manner of style but with modern materials Roof coverings etc. the old cars we own are still roadable because of modern hoses, tires, wiring, glass , fabrics on the roofs etc. Yes it can and usually is more costly and takes some time and research to "do it right" but it can be done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) Looks like a Bugatti King aero engine U-16. At least one of these engines powered a race car in the 1920's in Pennsylvania using just one block.

nzcarnerd Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 California circa 1916. The car has hints of Oldsmobile about it but the outside brake lever might be a clue. photo a little distorted and I think the sloped windshield is a later modification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
