    cowl gas tank

    Looks like a 1920-22 Gardener emblem. Gardener later offered a horn mounted on the center of the headlight bar. British truck cabs had windshields like this in that era.

    License Plate Letters

    I tried rolling, brushing and even blotting. Paint to thin or to thick. Finally did what Dan/Kzo said. Primed and shot 4 or 5 coats of numeral color, followed by 1 good coat of background color. Let it set overnight and sanded with 500 grit wet. These were done last week.

    Flint Mi.Membership Meet and Water Situation.

    I live in Davison, Michigan 10 miles east of Flint. The water problems are in the city of Flint, not the suburbs! When the State made Flint change from Detroit (Lake Huron) water to Flint River water they didn't use a corrosion inhibitor which caused a minute amount of lead to leach from the old...

    Original Quail Cap Value

    This is a cap I bought at Hershey last year for $265. It is way to nice to spend $400 to $500 to replate and take a chance on breaking it. Take your time, they're still out there. If you're going to drive it, put on a repro.

    PLEASE HELP - 1931 Cabriolet noise identification

    When I got my dad's Model "A", it had a metal to metal grinding sound that was caused by the " Throttle Control Assembly" pivit arm rubbing on the bottom edge of the firewall. Replaced assembly, noise gone. Another vibration at certain RPMs was caused by a hood rod nut that bottomed out before...

    Fender mount parking lights

    Fender mounted parking lights were made for the foreign market, IMO. British and most European cars had fender mounted parking lights.

    Deluxe Phaeton , 1930

    You're right 'Roadster62', the top appears to have been installed improperly. The main rear bow is tipped too far forward. Notice the body sheet metal pushing against top material at rear. Also the bottom of main bow top iron (chrome part) should be parallel with body molding not pointing down...

    Best Hershey finds.... 2012

    Finally figured out how to post pictures, I hope. This is the Quail Peters 180A was referring to. The seller said this was the last of 3 he had brought to Hershey. I sure wish I had gotten there earlier to see or buy all three. I don't know what he was asking for the other two, but he wanted...

    A2325149 (Sept 1929) is the correct engine-serial number for your truck. The other numbers are for the Sec. of State use and have nothing to do with your truck.

    Original 30 -31 Brass Dash

    Maybe the 'B' was used to designate brass during and after the plating process. Once they were plated, it would be easier to tell the difference between a brass and steel panel. The J.S. state it was an optional panel. Does this mean it was used on a specific model? The 'B' would also be...

    the history of your car ???????

    My 1929 Standard coupe was built in Indianapolis, Ind. and spent its first 36 years in Joplin, Missouri. The original owners son brought it to Michigan and I bought it in 1966 when he was moving to Alaska to work in the oil pipeline. I didn't know at the time that I could have the original title...

    inside rattle

    My throttle control assembly that bolts on the back of the engine would rub on the bottom of the firewall when I hit a bump and make a noise like you discribe. Mine was an easy fix, had wrong assembly and it was bent. Another noise I had was the vibration of the radiator support rods at...
