late '20s-early 1930s car designed to look like airplane by [email protected]
Need help identifying photo of an actual car (from late 1920s - early '30s?), which looks something like a wing-less airplane -- extremely futuristic for the time and two-toned. It might have been associated with the introduction of Associated Aviation Ethyl gasoline. The big city (San Francisco?)...

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? Tom

FS: 1952 Fargo PU by Jeff Bates
Found this one in a prairie salvage yard and thought it was worth saving. According to the license plate on it, they stopped using it on the farm about 1967. It earned some dents and a couple of bangs but hasn't got much rust other than the surface. It is now parked in my driveway, near...

Small car to replace old car? by Stude
One point of ths post is to push "MI5" down the list, but I would like some suggestions. But: My large forty years old car takes up too much room in the garage and getting it in is difficult due to no PAS and an unkind neighbor who parks in a bad place. I am looking for a small, inexpensive...

Model T's? by [email protected]
Hi, here's something I've always wondered: Where are all the Model T's? Last year I saw 16 stock Model A's but in a year I probably only see 1 stock Model T. I've heard there's about 3 times as many Model T's as Model A's left, which would make sense since they made about 3 times as many. Some of...

LEDs in Older Cars by tranch728
I'd like to replace the tail light/brake light bulbs and front turn signal bulbs in my 64 Chrysler with LEDs. Do they make LEDs that just plug into the same sockets or do I have to make changes? Any web site I can visit to see these LEDs?

bumper bolt question by N8N
Hi all, got a '64 Studebaker that is pretty much a basket case. A very nice, clean, rust-free basket case, but a basket case nonetheless. One of the things that is missing is the bumper bolts - they are oval head, stainless capped bolts, 7/16" I think. I've been searching on the web and can't...
