  1. Well, of course you are right. I guess i just liked that little car so much that I want to see them whenever something looks even remotely like one. Thanks for the info.
  2. You are right about that. Way too far in-breeding.
  3. Yeah, another case of cross-breeding that doesn't work out.
  4. Theres just nothing good about a flood. I think the dipstick hole is the lowest opening in the block. You would have had to have pretty deep water to get high enough to get in the block. I would drain the oil before cranking the engine if you suspect water in it. You will know immediately when you pull the plug if water comes out first. Theres just nothing good about a flood. PITA !
  5. I used to have a Vauxhall Victor station wagon like the one behind that wreck.
  6. Definitely more dependable! And sturdier, too.
  7. I am having trouble buying the idea that they can't make a tire that lasts longer than six years. At the rate I am going on my new car, in six years the tires will have 20,000 miles on them. Will I toss them because they are six years old? I may be crazy, but I ain't stupid.
  8. Can't be Canadian, I don't drink beer. That really is a sharp looking car, though. My wife says its cute. Cute is good.
  9. Yes that really is a good photo. But that truck is so nice that it would make most any location look good.
  10. Try taking out the battery.
  11. Beauty, eh?
  12. Thats nuthin, my tv watches me!
  13. A picture of perfection.
  14. Nuthin like baby pictures, eh Bob?
  15. If you want to look for it, it's in August, 1946 Popular Science magazine, page 209.
  16. Reed valves have dirt on them? Leaking head gasket? I had both of those at the same time.
  17. Shes a beauty, but then, I am partial to 2SD.
  18. By accident today I picked up an August, 1946 Popular Science magazine and turned to an ad for "Lyon Whitewalls". Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner with me or I would post the whole ad. "Priced at $6.95 and up for a set of four, they will add beauty and distinction to even the most distinguished cars!" "Now available at better dealers everywhere. Lyon Incorporated, 13881 west Chicago blvd., Detroit, Michigan."
  19. Now thats good looking! Real good looking !
  20. I wonder what the "buy it now" would be. Very good looking, but i wouldn't call it restored. Kind of needs a correct interior, dash, and a six volt battery cable. Purty, tho.
  21. It does sound like he's gonna have plenty of free time to respond to your calls. You may be lucky if he doesn't.
  22. I'm here in Stafford VA. for a few days and the back roads here are really pretty compared to home. Still, Bob's pictures always convey that older and quieter look.
  23. Four hours of work and it turned out perfect. Sounds like you got off cheap!
  24. It would be nice if you could buy that stuff by the yard and cut it to fit whatever you want it on.
  25. That last picture is good enough to be an ad !
