M.J. Schuon
Hi all. I have a Standard Thompson spotlight and I need a template and
instructions for mounting it on my 1950 Ford coupe. If anyone has any
such paperwork for a shoebox Ford I'd be happy to buy it -- or to

Why did cars have running boards? by
[email protected]
I was reading an old story, and it mentioned the "running boards" on a
car. I wondered what their purpose was. Was it so someone could push
their car easier to get it started if there was a problem. I had a VW
with running boards, but I guess there are no new cars with them. How
about trucks?

One of my characters in this late 1948 story is male, slightly disreputable,
and very welathy. He owns three cars. What should they be? A brand new one,
probably, and I realize none were made during the war, so perhaps the...

DIY Woodgrain by
Stewart Schooley
Greetings,
Here are some photos of a DIY woodgrain method I developed for the
restoration of old radios. Many radios of the 1930s had a photo print on
them instead of real wood veneer and restoring these cheaply has been
impossible until now.
First photo shows DIY woodgrain paper. The radio on...

Cadillac 429 Engine Information Request by
Ironradio
I have the opportunity to obtain a vehicle with a Cadillac 429 engine
in it. I know next to nothing about these engines other than they were
made from '64-'67 (I think). Therefore I have some questions:
1) Was the design of this engine 'good' or did it have problems?
2) Was it considered a...
