What is this? I'm guessing a preheater?

What was the car doing before it was put on display? Was it a fresh restoration? I could be stiff if the engine has low hours since a rebuild.

They also continued to sell complete engines for stationary power plants, not necessarily all them were for replacement in cars.

It was actually a mid year 1923 change. Early '23 was low, mid-late '23 was high.

Ya, I have trouble scraping out stuff, but I have to force myself. I've got barns full of car parts I'm trying to clear out. Moving this one to the scrap pile. If anyone wants it for free, they can come pick it up in SE Michigan (Petersburg).

Thanks, that helps a lot.

I came into possession of this manifold heater along with a load of 30's Ford stuff. I can find one reference to it on the internet as a 1930's Ford V8 accessory heater, but that guy wasn't sure. Has anyone seen anything like this so I can positively identify it?

Thanks, that clears it up

I ran across a 1934 1-ton V-8 truck referred to as a Model BB. I asked the owner why it's a BB when it doesn't have the B engine and he said it was an original truck with BB stamped on the frame. So I'm wondering if anyone can clear up my confusion on model naming. I had previously thought only...

Thanks for the help guys. I picked this up at an auction last fall. I actually bought a stack of tractor manuals for $20 and the auctioneer kicked this over and said the steering wheel goes with it. So ya, that's real good

Well, I took your advice, cleaned it up and got it listed at $150, we'll see what happens

I'm sorting parts and trying to pin a value on this 1955 accessory Mercury steering wheel. The only data I can find online is some guy asking $550 for the used horn ring, but I'm thinking that guy is dreamin' a bit. Any thoughts on the actual value of a decent wheel with no cracks? (photo attached)
