Re: Car Is Shrinking........

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I've got a few pounds on you and would love to add a 33-4 Vicky to the stable. I wonder if any of the aprox 4,200 1933 Vickys got a 4 cylinder.

Re: Westchester County NY Model As?

Re: Engine Number
Your car has probably been registered since before the early 70s in CA. Today if you register one built from parts or brought from out of state you'll probably get a new tag from the state.
