Re: RCH Automobiles
Bill, Two excellent research sources for literature on antique and old cars, ranging from before the turn of the past century through the last quarter of the past century (1890's--late 20th century) are the Horseless Carriage Foundation in La Mesa (San Diego), California (contact the executive direc...

Rehicles: 9001915 Packard
Good Morning Joseph, You should try to make Bakersfield one of these years. Nice 1 day tour for 1900 - 1942 vehicles on Thursday. Killer, cozy (read that as relatively small - 4-5 rows with 20-30 vendors per row, about 450 +/- spaces, about 5 acres, maybe, though that's just a guess, I'm no farmer.....

Re: 1915 Packard
Hi again Joseph,
As you know, of course, your car wasn't the one I sold.
I forwarded your request onto some friends of mine who are very knowledgeable teens (among many other years as well) Packard men. They should be able to help you.
Are you going to Bakersfield this coming week?
Herb

Re: 1915 Packard
Hello Joseph and welcome to the forum, As the saying goes, I'll ask the man who owns one. Where did you get your twin six from? The only reason I'm asking is that I sold a rebodied maroon twin six roadster at Hershey in 2011. I doubt it's the same car but you never know. Where are you and the car lo...

Welcome "Rookie" to the greatest hobby in the worl
Congratulations on your rare and exciting purchase, Steve. My off the top of the head understanding (as a dyed in the wool brass era car guy and current HCCA director) is that if you can "prove" or perhaps verify is a better word that your new (to you) Ford was built or manufactured in calender year...

Radiator Leaks
Alright experts - that means ANYONE reading this forum in this case - Has anyone used gasket seal material (ie Steel Seal, K&W, Thermogasket, etc.) to stop or minimize a radiator leak in a brass era car? In this case, the leak is reasonably minor but persistant and the 4 cyl. 40 hp T head motor is i...

A suggestion to find the fenders
Hello, I'd suggest you post this under the Wanted section in the HCCA classified ads - both on the web and in the Gazette also. Both are free and I believe it would get more looks there and perhaps somebody might remember who had them. Good Luck in your search. Herb

My apologies that you took offense at my posting
Lauren, I'm VERY sorry you took it that way. I had hoped you would read "between the lines" and discern my true intention, which was that our old cars take a LOT of time, effort and money to maintain, use, keep up etc. and that you would probably have a MUCH better chance at a positive response if t...

A reply from an HCCA member 2500 miles away
Hello Lauren, I know your uncle and he's a nice fellow, BUT, he has never served as the president of the Horseless Carriage Club of America (HCCA) - a volunteer, unpaid, elected position. He was the executive secretary (an appointed, paid position) for the HCCA for about half of the previous decade,...
