Frank Elder Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Look what someone did to a town car. Sure gives a rare D24 a different look. I wonder if they had any idea how few were made? Or I am I seeing things, the fender/front door body line looks the same as mine:confused: Quote
greg g Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Sure looks like a 47 Packard Clipper to me. Ya know Packard and Plymouth and Dodge Bodies were stamped by the good Folks over a Briggs Body Company. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Frankie, you should know by putting a title for the thread like this, Tim is going to be sure to look at it. Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks for the lesson, I thought only the chrysler cars had that, thought maybe someone had radiused the fenderwells too:oGreg you are right for sure. Quote

Norm's Coupe Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Tim, You got that right. Brother in law tried to pawn off a radial arm saw and another bench on me Saturday. Told him no thanks. I have become a non pack rat. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 I just got a huge heavy cutting surface to install on my radial arm-saw..will make it nice... I have a lot of books I need to get off the shelves...hate to get rid of them but they need to be put some other place..I got the entire collection of Louis L'Amour westerns in paperback..excellent reading..thought my kid would one day get interested..not yet..I have had these since 1974-75..read a many of them more than once..what to do what to do...

Norm's Coupe Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 You could donate the books to a nursing home. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 playing with the scanner, picture of the truck I painted long back for a friend of mine...he let me choose the paint scheme entirely.. Quote

As usual though ebay is full of surprises on anything you put up there. But.......If my wife or I want to buy old books, paperback or hardcover, we usually go to a store named Half Priced Books. They buy a lot of books from people too. Usually by the bag or box full. They don't give you much for the books. However, if they don't sell the books within a short period of time for half price, they will lower the price down to as little as $1.00 per book. So.........why go to ebay? Half Priced Books also has a website you can order from if you don't have a store nearby. Back in the mid to late 90's I even found the sought after book "How to Build Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge Hot Rods" by Tex Smith. Original retail price was only $19.95 for that book. Mine was brand new from Half Price Books for only $9.95. Some have said that book sells for $150 or more today. I've found other old car books, even original factory service manuals there real cheap too. At any rate. Tim did reply to my post about donating the books. Just got confused and put it in another thread. He's going to donate them. That's what I'd do too. I'd rather see someone in a nursing home or VA hospital, etc. have something to enjoy reading too, than to make a couple of bucks. To me, that would make me feel better and happier knowing someone who can't get out or afford to buy a book, has something good to read. Quote
