Re: Remember Pearl Harbor

What is so dis-heartening, is that so many are just giving away what all these brave souls died for.

New Ford Patent

According to Drive.com, Ford has applied to patent self-repossessing cars that can drive themselves away when payments are missed. I guess I won't be trading the 48 in on a new one.

Re: JSeery ... How Very Sad!

RIP Jerry, I always will remember the amount of time you took with a rank amateur V8 caretaker like me. And many more I'm sure, he has been missed for some time now.

Re: Fords needed a ride home!

In 54 a friend bought a new 54 Customline with the 6 cylinder engine. At our local illegal drag strip he beat many of the new OHV V8 cars. One day he and a fellow that had a new 54 Chev went off a...

Re: jseery health issues

I have also missed your posts and was wondering how things were with you. Hope you have good medical help and the cancer will be gone. Also thanks again for all the help when I rewired the 48.

Re: Not Charging

Could damage to the generator or voltage regulator have happened as a result of not polarizing? I was hoping DD would chime in.

I copied this from a 1931 Flamingo thread on hard starting. DD had this in the post.
