    Radiator ID

    Did Ford put a visible part number on radiators? I have an old radiator that has been around for as long as I can remember and I'd like to ID it. It is in rough shape to my eye and I don't have the Green book in my possession right now to source a part number and unless I can find a number...

    Sparton horn

    I found this Sparton horn and am curious about it. I did some research and I know Sparton made millions of horns for decades for multiple cars so I don't have any idea what this may have come off, but most likely a Ford as it was in with the other Ford junk in the garage. There is some ID...

    Opinions on an asymmetrical lift

    I recognize opinions on car lifts are as diverse as what kind of oil to use and I'm looking for advice. I can be a bit long winded so I'll attempt to be brief. My brother may have the opportunity to get a nearly new 2 post Bendpak 9000lb asymmetrical lift for a great price from a close friend...

    '32 rearview mirror mount

    Can anyone tell if this is a factory '32 rearview mirror mount? On our 3W the old mirror wouldn't hold position so my brother bought a reproduction assembly that bolted right in. This is the one that he removed and was going to toss it then thought better about it. The 3W has been in our family...

    Off topic, a little humor?

    Saw this and made me chuckle.

    Lincoln? V12 intake manifold

    I have this intake manifold and I want to positively identify it to sell. I searched on the internet and the photos I found are similar to '46 - '48 Lincoln V12. There are barely visible markings on it and compared to the NOS one for sale on Ebay this one appears to have been perhaps molested...

    '32 Air filters

    I found these 2 air filters that a well respected Barner identified several years ago as '32. I already have one on the original '32 engine we have and I don't need 3 of them. I'd like to sell them. Any idea what a reasonable price would be? I tried to find a comparable listing but no luck.

    More junk to ID?

    I found more junk in the garage that I know nothing about. I haven't spent anytime lately trying to clean out Dad's garage and ask for help identifying but I found these while looking for something else. One is obviously the plate that covers the engine for the distributer. It has 3 holes and...

    Welding supply truck explodes

    Maybe more off topic but a safety reminder for those with oxy/acetylene tanks. Yesterday at Seattle on Interstate 5 this truck carrying oxygen/acetylene tanks suffered some sort of catastrophic failure. I'm sure we've all seen these trucks carrying bottles. If you've ever wondered what would...

    Off topic but I'm curious

    I'd previously PM'd other members but no one knew. I'm watching the latest Mecum auction on Motor trend channel and at the end of the stage as the cars are about to roll off they pause the camera for a moment. In the background on stage is a high end prewar roadster. It is on every auction...

    Hood ornament ID

    Asking for help here to identify this hood ornament. It was given to me by my 82 year old father-in-law and he doesn't remember what it's off of. I don't recognize it but I don't know much either. Maybe aftermarket?

    '50 Ford ad

    I found some old newspapers from 1932, 1935 and one from 1950. This is the only pictured car ad in any of them. I found it interesting that many of the social issues of the day parallel the issues of today. One headline in a '32 issue says FDR urges the repeal of prohibition. It was very...
