    Can you help ID these Vehicles?

    I am normally on the V8 side, but have been going through some family photos and I have come across a couple of car pictures I can't identify that maybe you would like to help with. They are all pretty early. The first one with my father's uncle at the wheel has a front end somewhat like a...

    Can you ID this car?

    Going through some old family photos. I know you guys are good at this. Can you ID my great uncle's car? I have included two photos, of what I think may be the same car. In the real photo I can see there is a golf club door behind the passenger door on the side view and a little opening...

    Redoing my hydrostatic fuel gauge with new red liquid

    I had redone my hydrostatic fuel gauge on my 34 in 2017, using red fluid from Classic and Exotic. In a few years, the red color faded even though the car is always kept in a garage, and I also had some white deposits showing up in the gauge, so I decided it was time to redo it. I thought I...

    Fords in the Fall - 2019

    I took the afternoon off yesterday to go for a ride and look at the fall colors in Western NY. The weather forecast said it was going to be the last warm fall day before we got the colder weather that has been hitting the western states. No snow for us yet, though - just rain. Hope you enjoy...

    1934 Deluxe 3 Window

    I know many on this site are interested in car values and how the prices for the old cars we love seem to be going down. I saw this 1934 3 Window sell on Mecum Monterrey on TV last night for $69,000. Looks like a pretty original car other than the dual exhaust, and in very good restored...

    Macs

    Here is a story on the sale of Macs building in Lockport NY that was in the Buffalo News yesterday. Looks like they won't be there for very much longer, so being able to have items sent to Lockport and pick them up without paying shipping probably is coming to an end for those of us in Western...

    1934 V8 Grille Emblem

    My car doesn't have the V8 grille emblem. I see you can buy reproductions at C&G, Macs, Drake. None of them seem to show a picture of the back side on how they mount. Do they have studs and a crosspiece with nuts or a crosspiece with screws that go into the emblem? Is the V8 part a separate...

    34 clutch linkage pin

    I was suddenly having trouble with my clutch not wanting to totally disengage. Felt like something broke, as it came on suddenly. I took the car to a guy Charlie ny recommended, as I thought I was in for taking the clutch out. Turns out the pin that holds the clutch lever to the shaft coming...

    Wrecked Car fixed by my Father's Uncle

    Here are before and after photos of a wrecked car that was repaired by my father's uncle, John Miller, in the 1920's. He was an auto body guy. He is in the middle wearing the newsboy hat. (I just noticed they are all wearing newsboy hats.) How about that for a repair job? There is another...

    ID this car part 2

    Hi Guys, I posted this over on the Model T side of the Ford Barn a couple weeks ago but only got one response. I'm still in the middle of the first page over there, so I guess things move a lot slower on the Model T side. Anyway, I thought I would ask you guys on the V8 side for your...

    Can you help identify this car?

    Hi guys, I am doing some geneology work during the non-driving months and have some photos of a family reunion with a car in them. It would help to identify the time frame of the photo if I could ID the car. There are several photos but this one shows the most detail of the car. The spare...
