I hope this pipeline fuel scare doesn't mess thing up. I am really looking forward to going.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
There shouldn't be any problems with gas supply, although the prices may have gone up a bit. Hopefully they will be back on line in a few days. Otherwise, bring your electric car!

Good for those who use diesel. My Ford Focus goes 330 miles on a tank, or so it tells me. I had half a tank, so I figured I had better go out with the rest of the knuckleheads and fill up so I could get to Luray and back (200 miles). The first station I went to (Shell) was out. I was heading to Costco when I passed a Sunoco with a few cars waiting, so I went there. Price was 2.79, so not gouging. When I got to the pump, there was a box truck on the other side and the gas was barely coming out of the pump. It took me five minutes to get half a gallon. When the guy with the box truck finished, I got normal flow. I have never experienced that before. Turns out Costco was all out anyway, so I was lucky. I only needed about 7 gallons to fill my tank, so between all my antique cars, I figured I could get that much if I needed to go that route. Thankfully, I didn't need to. I am glad the pipeline is flowing again, but it will take a few days to replenish.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
Mostly Model T parts. There was a Model A chassis and a cabriolet for sale and some vendors had A parts. There are some pics on another thread. I will post mine, but they are not very informative.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
Sounds like you're describing a "rebound" shock absorber - Hassler, Gabriel, Ford & others put out such a contraption.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
Stevests, I think you have it. I wasn't perceptive enough to figure out what in the world he was talking about. There were some Hassler or other shots for sale there.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
Here is the pic Clem sent. Not Hassler "shocks". Look like canisters of some sort. I do not know what they are.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
If you are describing the 3 items on the trailer fender, they look like either Gabriel or Watson 'snubbers'. Shock absorbers.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray
Thanks guys. That dealer had some fine stuff!! I bought a "Railroad engineers oiling can:
The long snout kind to reach side rod bearings. Funny though, the diameter of the can was extra big and it had no handle! Also a neato hammer with a smashed head. We had a great time. No lies were retold... |
