The only reason I recognized it was that a neighbor had an Opel Olympia when I was a kid. The only one I have ever seen in person, so I remembered the Olympia nameplate. It was a wagon but I don't recall ever seeing the "caravan" nameplate, but it was a very long time ago.

A 50 degree change in one day is not unusual here in winter when a chinook rolls in. Makes you crazy, but is more than welcome.

I have 2, 3 ton jack stands under the car, about where the front seat is. They should be way more than enough BUT I read "Made in China" on the box before I threw it away (is anything made in north america anymore?) Not being one to trust my life or limb to the lowest bidder, I have a stack of 2X12's cut square that go under the front crossmember if I'm going under the car. The offshore jack stands I don't trust much:

Make sure you don't get caught buying Cuban in Canada like the Governator did!!!

I agree, a tight exhaust system is vital for kids safety in an old car. Also, those vents that go over the windows and the windows cracked an inch or so. As far as the floor goes, once it's all welded in, a good undercoating would seal it up pretty good. That and a good exhaust will keep everyone safe. If you are really concerned, I think there are battery powered O2 sensors out there

There is a 1949 Chrysler Royal Woody Wagon on eBay (Buy it Now $149,900) What was interesting was the inside door panels. Not as nice as Lou's but did not know they were factory equipment. Have a look:

Finally some summer weather here in Calgary. And I have to work Maybe I'll play hookey next week for some old car time. The boss'll understand...
-
Thanks, Ken. I don't have the truck yet, so can't measure it. I just thought someone might have already done it.

Norm, I have a radio cabinet almost identical to yours, except there were no insides when I grabbed it from beside a dumpster in '83. I stripped and refinished it and it housed one of the stereo speakers for a while, then the bass unit for the surround sound. It has a round dial port just like yours. I'll get a pic soon. I have about 10 old table radio's as well from days gone by, all wood and all working. And a whole bunch of 1940's newspapers from the attic of a house about to be torn down. Among other junque rescued over the years. I would love to buy one of those bone yards and save it from the crusher, only one problem...$$$$$$$$

What about CLR?

I'd love to, but I already have one project. Transportation costs a fortune. I think if more of these guys were real businessmen, they would realize that this stuff is like dirt...they don't make it anymore and if they marketed the product better, they would have the income they need to stay in business. The market is there, these guys are just to ornery and stubborn to change the thinking from junkyard to treasure chest. No one would burn that stuff if it was furniture or other collectibles of the same era and even in similar condition. Because of this short-sightedness, these treasures are lost forever. JMHO

Unfortunately, work and weather were/are interfering with the Chrysler project. Oh, and money:( I'm still hoping it will be running and moving under it's own steam very soon:) The parts I was waiting for arrived 2 weeks ago, so it's just a matter of getting enough time to git 'er done.

One photo posted by James Douglas: And another posted by Bill Story: Two different approaches may help you. Re: turns lock to lock, are the calipers on the rear of the rotors, towards the firewall?

Are there late model wheels with the Dodge 1 ton 6 bolt pattern that will fit this old Fargo? Thanks!

Off into the sunset they go. Heartbreaking

As far as boats go, I agree with comedian John Pinette...if it doesn't have a casino and a buffet, it's not seaworthy!!!! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2013779324 http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2013780886
