Quite a variety of cars.

Also, what is the white colored brass touring car shown in the parking lot early in the video? I can't quite figure it out.

Thanks,

The old saying is true. A picture is worth 1000 words.

That looks like a blast! Hope you enjoy the HCCA website.

Thank you both so much for the references. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I was able to get insured in time to take our "rustic" 29 Lincoln Fire Truck on our club's annual tour in The Dalles, Oregon. Happy kids, happy parents!

Thank you again.

I thought I would pass along my experience with Grundy Auto Insurance that I had all my cars insured with. We have been a customer of Grundy for at least 20 years, as that is who my father had all our cars insured with upon his passing in 1994. I'm not sure how many years prior to that he was with t...

I'm glad you responded with your opinion of the vendor in question. I have no opinion either way, as I am not familiar with them. But I think it is only fair to point out that Mr Leonard has a right to his opinion, just like you and I. Perhaps the work he had done their wasn't their best effort. May...

What a great time it looks like. Beautiful cars, scenery, and sun! Thanks again. This board needs more posting on tours like this. It's fun to see new cars, and see places one has never been. Also good to daydream about getting the old car fired up and on the road after the snow and slush have depar...

Da Vinci? Didn't he do that one with the dogs playing cards? I love that!

As noted. Please read reply closer next time.

Thank you,

Amy, Apologies to you for some of the curmudgeons on this board. I'm sure there will be more than just Joseph. Certainly they are entitled to their opinion, but they don't speak for everyone. I like Danny and the show. I've seen him look at and drive authentic antique cars on Pawn Stars, and he seem...

Ian, I regrettably haven't finished the project. I have towed it to try to start it for some distance however! No leaks as of yet. The seals I used are 21058 Chicago Rawhide. They fit nicely into the same spot the felt seal occupies. I will report back when I get the dang thing going. Thanks, Jeff

I don't know if they made bodies from wood in the earlier days, but from the shape of it, the top brackets, the details, it looks like an Overland body to me. My 14 is metal body over wood frame however. The shape of the back and how it curves in looks exactly like my 14.

There is a grooved area toward the inside ends of the axle that gets clamped down by a grooved "collar" that is held in place by 2 screws. I have always just centered the grooves evenly and it has worked fine. The rear end assembly should be held in place by these collars, and the two "guides" on th...

I have some regular touring fenders that I would part with, but don't know if they are the same as the ones you are looking for.

Well, it looks a lot like the muffler on my 14 Overland 4 cyl 35 hp that works fine. One thing you can do is install an exhaust cutout ahead of the muffler that you can engage on hills. Plus it makes it sound like you are going faster on flat land!

What actually should be used is 300-600w gear lube. I found mine at a local fuel dealer, I think it was Chevron or Texaco, and they are the same company now anyway. Yes, it is incredibly thick. When I used regular 140 it was too light, and makes it's way through the axle seals especially if you over...
