the tour was great! I just purchased a 1923 studebaker and was looking for inf. and happened on your site. and what a pleasure.
I may have to do some more research, my dad owns a 25 Chrysler rumble seat roadster that went on your clubs tour of Australia I think in
62 or so we affectionately call the car Sydney
it is horsless carriage plate # 392 if you have any pics or inf. on that tour pls. let me know. as the car will be in the family for a long time (
me and my wife were married with the car in some shots )
your site reminds me of the fun we used to have in that car. I still remember my sisters and I all in the rumble seat and it started raining and
we were able to close the lid. how many children have those kind of experiences these days? not enough!
thanks for the excellent job you have done with your site and showing not just the cars but the fun that goes hand in hand.

1930 Chrysler Model "77" Pick Up

From:
"ED DUBIL" edubil@hotmail.com
To:

Hello. I own a very rare vehicle that I found in Ethiopia in 1970 while
in the US Army. It is a 1930 Chrysler Model "77" pick up. It was a
special order vehicle that was ordered by Walter P. Chrysler himself in
1929 for a German Brewmaster. It went from Germany to Italy then to
Ethiopia in 1942. I have the complete history on its travels around the
globe, but I have had a hard time placing a value on it for insurance
purposes. I have been told from $100,000 to $500,000 and that has been
from actual appraisers for antique vehicles. I was wondering what you
thought and what you know about the 1930 Chrysler Model "77" cars. This
was from the Royale coupe. My other e-mail address is dubil@epix.net
Thank you Ed Dubil. The truck has been completely restored and is in
concourse condition. Also a rarity on the truck is that because it was
shipped to Europe, all the gauges in the interior are in metric.

My neighbor recently called and asked if I could help him start his car.
Little did I know it was a 1918 Studebaker. He had bought the car six years
ago. He moved it home and then tore out his left knee. He was unable to drive
it and, because of his knee, will never be able to realize the joy of tooling
around in his pride and joy. That is why he decided to sell it.
The person he bought it from had it in a parade in 1972. That is the last time
it was up and running. It took about six hours for us to get it started. We
have now put over five miles on it and got it up to a resounding 45 mph!
Something did get into the gas and it started back-firing. We blew the end
right off the front of the muffler. Certainly adds something to the sound as
it goes down the street.
It is a beautiful car. He advertised it in Hemmings last December and got an
offer. The offer would be substantially better if it was running. He is now
getting that better price.
I wish I had known of the Studebaker show at the Towe Museum in Sacramento. It
would have been a great addition.
I understand the buyer is the President of Turkey. Before the car is picked up
we are going to put some more miles on it. We have videos now but we want some
with the top down.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DEAN A. MCEWEN
February 26, 1999 (916) 445-3353
SACRAMENTO: Senator Maurice Johannessen introduced legislation
Friday which would eliminate some of the unnecessary smog testing
of vehicles with after-market parts.
Currently, California requires vehicles to pass two types of
smog check tests: functional as well as the tailpipe test. The
bill, SB 1058, streamlines the "visual portion" of the smog
inspection by limiting the equipment required to be inspected,
thereby eliminating unnecessary inspection. Less time would be
spent by motorists and inspectors, fewer burdens would be placed
on referees, and less costs would be imposed on the state and
consumers by the program.
A car enthusiast himself, Johannessen stated, "Motorists who
upgrade their vehicles with after-market parts are often forced
to see a referee even though their car may run more efficiently
and cleanly. This is a complete waste of time, only benefiting
those bureaucracies which this process creates."
Added Johannessen, "If tail-pipe emissions are coming out
clean, it shouldn't matter at all what motor parts you have under
the hood. This is a good consumer bill that does nothing to harm
our air."
For a copy of Senate Bill 1058, contact either Cathy Evans
(Legislative Aide) or Dean A. McEwen (Press Secretary) at (916) 445-3353.

Hi Dave,
The CCCA Board is painfully aware of the situation in HCCA. You have hit the nail square on the head about John...He really is HCCA. Without their terrific publication, the club really will lose members. Unfortunately I know that lots of people who have already
given up in disgust. That's too bad.
You may know that the Rolls-Royce Owners Club did a similar mass suicide a couple of years ago. They have survived (so far) but I understand they are getting ready to re-stage the battle. It's a pity.
This is a hobby...it's supposed to be fun. I hope CCCA never has
to go through this kind of thing.
Best regards,
Chuck Conrad

name is Bob Ofeldt and I am the great grandson of August Ofeldt. August from
what I understand built the Ofeldt Steamer. I know the car was built because
many many years ago I saw a picture of it in a magazine my aunt once had. It
was also rumored it was in a museum in Florida. I have had no success in
locating it or finding articles on it. Would you be able to point me in the

Hope you can help.

This notice is for all bad ass Bikers, ASC, CCCA & Packard Club members that frequent the Rocky Mountains,
Montana Grizzly Bear warning!!!...........Be Aware, this is important!!!
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts theMontana Department
of Fish and Game is advising hikers, Hunters, and fisherman to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
We advise that outdoorsman wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle
bears that aren't expecting them. We also advise outdoorsman to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsman should
recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear shit. Black bear shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear
shit is larger and has little bells, early brass parts in it and smells like pepper.
Have a nice hike!!!!!!

Compliments for such a varied website with the music, humor, dental info, and especially the cars! I am also a D.D.S. and I also have some cars,
although on a much more humble scale. I have a 1939 Packard coupe that went over Independence Pass in Colorado this past summer on the
Americruise. I also have a 1939 Oldsmobile sedan that we took to other Americruises to Peoria, Ill. and Lincoln, Neb. Finally, I have a 1946 Mercury coupe
that hasn't been anywhere except to a couple of local (north Texas) car shows. These old cars sure are fun. My wife has always wanted us to get a really
old and nice car like the early era ones on your website.
Thanks for the effort to make the site available.

Hi Dave and Becky.
I have been selling vintage magazines and paper
collectibles part time since 1980. I will be retiring in two years and then
will probably have the time to "fool around" with a web site and update it
on a routine and timely basis.
I am aware what dealers charge for various vintage magazines and the higher
prices for searching and individual covers, etc., and that I can easily
receive those prices for my inventory. However, I am not in a full time
business with overhead to worry about, and enjoy attempting to find or sell
an item at a price that makes one happy and gives me a small profit (which
is at present being used to complete a set of Saturday Evening Posts from
1900-1949).
I can be contacted through the above email address or at 30 East 9th Street,
New York, NY 10003, should you wish to recommend me.
Once again, thanks for your generosity, concern and good thoughts.
All the best,
Steve

to find the Stanley Steam car. Can you tell me please...is he confused..and was there only one steam car built...the Stanley....any information about sites to visit and how to find
them would be greatly appreciated...He seems to be very taken with the subject and talks endlessly about old cars. I would really like to find information for him....Thanks so
much..

Good Morning Dauna!
There were many steamers at the beginning of this century.
Stanley was only the best known and best selling.
Two brands were known as "Brook", four known as "Brooks" and
one as "Brookes".
Of these, only the Brooks made from 1923 through 1927 made
steam cars. Indeed, it was the best selling (after Stanley) steam
car in Canada as they were made in Stratford, Ontario.
I have never seen one.
Hope this helps,

I wrote the other day about the ninth page on the touring section, and
was happy to get such a quick response.
I also noticed that you have some Harleys (HOGS THAT IS) I have rode
Harleys for years more than I care to recall those were the good old
days.
I rode with the ALMenah Shrine Temple drill team for eighteen years.
Started with Cushman Scooters, Harley Sportsters and Dune Buggys.
The team won ten straight International Championships with the Harley
74s.
The Dune Buggys won the International Championship and High point Trophy
competing aginst motorcycles, and all other types of motors.
Just blowing a little smoke.

Hey Billy Boy!
That's not blowing smoke when you win ten straight championships!!! Please send me
some photos - if you can scan them or have them scanned & saved as small file jpegs on
a floppy, you can then email them to me off that floppy from your computer.
If you look on one of our Harley pages - the Western Regional HOG Rally I think, you
will see pics of the Indianapolis police drill team I took for Hog Tales as the offical
photographer for the event - National champions - we also saw them
a 2nd time a couple years later at another Western Regional when Becky & I were
invited to lead the parade in Reno just ahead of the drill team, with Joe Dowd (Rally
coordinator) & Rich & Ann Teerlink, the then CEO of Harley Davidson.
Again, I want to thank you for reporting the dead files on Tour of the Century pages 9 &
10. They had been that way for at least 3 months - thousands of visitors - you are the
first that even bothered to mention it. If I discontinue all my pages it will be because 99%
that visit don't really care if it stays or not. Works or not. I get bored with projects &
this computer thing has lasted longer than most.

Twenty five years or so ago, I was given a tool box by a friend of our family.
The tool box had belonged to his grandfather. He told me at the time, his
grandfather had been a mechanic for "Oakland" cars. I've been browsing the
internet, but have had no luck in finding out anything about the car.
I'm not sure what kind of wood it is made of, but it is extremely heavy
(empty). The dimensions are approximately 3'x2'; leather handles; brass
edges-the front one engraved "Oakland"; the top of the box, in gold gild are
the initials of his grandfather "CBM". Inside the box is a curved shelf.
Except for a husband who new nothing of antiques and thought he would try to
spiff it up...it is in excellent condition...some of the wood on the sides (it
appears veneer-like) has been peeled.
Have you heard of Oakland cars? Do you know who I might contact to determine
the value of the toolbox?
Any assistance you can give would be terrific! I enjoyed your web pages (I've
been all over them!). I grew up in the Portland and Eugene, Oregon areas and
now live in Issaquah, Washington...Becky and I have a little in common!
Thank you...

maxwell cars

From:
"PCAD2 Bus. Consult., Inc." pcad2@pro-ns.net
Dave & Becky
My grandmother has suddenly developed the need to find a car from her past.
The car is a maxwell from around 1910. She said she remembers sitting in
the back seat with her cousin while dad tried to get the car up a hill and
couldn't. After some time had passed and many attempts were made, he
turned the car around and went home. I guess what this means is that the
car wasn't always running well. The back seat comment also doesn't
describe a coupe or roadster, but a sedan style car.
She knows of a Maxwell in a museum in Warren Minnesota but hasn't seen it
yet. She says her dad sold the Maxwell to someone in Warren years ago and
that it could be the same car. Maybe it is or maybe it's not, either way I
will look into that.
I guess the whole point is that I would like to learn more about the
Maxwells of the past so that I may share that with her. I have the who,
what, when, where, why and how thing in mind. Where would you go to begin
learning about Maxwells?
Any ideas?
Thanks

a twin six. We started work on it in Sept 97, and it just received two
awards at the Concourse in Everett Wa. It placed in it's catagory with

Antique & Collectible Faire

Nflamion@aol.com

Hello Dave & Becky,
My name is Natalie Flamion. I have been browsing your website checking out
the Antique studebakers. My grandfather owned a Studebaker dealership in
Jasper, Indiana back in the 40's-50's. He died in '75 and left my grandmother
with a garage full of studebaker parts. I guess that some day we will get
around to selling these parts. After 2-3 decades it is about time to do
something. But this is not the reason that I am writing you today...
The reason that I am writing you is to request some advice or information if
you are willing to give. I am a show promoter for a monthly Antique &
Collectible Faire in San Jose, Ca. We are beginning our 2nd successfull year
and I am interested in adding an Antique car show in conjunction with our
Faire. As I mentioned, our Faire is held monthly on the second Saturday at
the Princeton Plaza Mall in San Jose, Ca. Our next faire is August 8th.
Unfortunately this brainstorm comes to me with little time to spare. There is
only 3 short weeks left until my Anniversary show and I want to put this
together in time for that. I am beefing up the advertising in hopes that this
will attract some more people to the show as well as foster an interest in
people who ordinarily wouldn't come to a show like this. Do you think it can
be done? If so, what do you suggest? I called the 800# listed on your site
and found out that your are located in Dallas....Is there anyone in your club
from the San Jose area? I GREATLY APPRECIATE any suggestions you might have
for pulling this off:) Bye the way, the website was great. I liked the
pictures of all the cars and the members in vintage dress. Good work!

Show in New Yor in Jan of 1915. I would be very interested in finding
any information relative to any other Douglas cars in existence, any
other cars which used the Hirscell-Spillman engine, availavillity of H-S
engines or parts. This car was a member of the HCCA and has a placard
on the dash: Horseless Carriage Club of America, Los Angeles Chapter
1937. I would like to know any history available about this car as well
as other Douglas Automobiles. Any help will be appreciated

Here is all I know about your car.
The Douglas was only in production 1918 213 units & 1919 121 units.
They produced 4 body styles - Touring 5P, Touring 7P, Roadster 3P, and
a Speedster Spc. (126" wb)
The current value restored for your touring in my book is $21,000.
Douglas continued producing commercial trucks till the mid 30's
Maybe one of our readers will be able to contact you with more
information.
Also, go to our Cool Links Room & go to the official HCCA site & ask

David,
I couldn't have made it this weekend, Auburn swap meet you know.
If you'll be there, let me know. In case you have thrown away your last
GAZETTE, I photographed the covers and did the article on the Gold Country
Fall Tour. The cover and full page photo were taken with a 90 year old
8"x10" camera I repaired. On the little photo in the article you can just
see the camera on the tripod in the center. If you look closely you will
see that the camera in that photo is set up to take the photo which was used
on the cover.
No big deal, but this is the first time I have attempted to submit
photos for a national magazine. If you are aware of some of the politics,
scoring the cover is unusual. The editor usually uses one of his own photos
there. To celebrate, I went out and got a medium format camera so I will be
shooting the format most editors prefer. Terry

Dave and Becky,
We just bought two 1950 Studebaker Campions (4 door). I know this is
not old enough to be in your league, but we wanted to start with a bit more
simple project. Our next car will be very old. Do you have any resources
or suggestions for our current restoration? How would you suggest we turn
this restoration into the first step towards a very old car?
Taking all suggestions,
Duke and Shelly Jones (Generation X - some youngsters care)

Thank you for replying to my comments after visiting the HCCA site. I just visited the Antique
Studebaker site to compare. It was very interesting for me as my brother once restored a 1931
Studebaker President Roadster when he was in high school and sold it when he graduated from college,
about in 1961, for enough to buy a new Dodge. I rode in it in the rumble seat from San Gabriel to Palo
Alto, quite a trip. Our youngest son restored a 1950 Studebaker Champion, a project he began when
he was 13. He has his own son now and has sold the car because planes are now his avocation. In
fact, today he was flying a Stearman over the Super Bowl stadium, towing a banner, one of about nine
planes doing the same.

I found your site by searching 'car photo' on my favorite search engine at http://www.inference.com/infind/. If you have not used Inference Find, it uses the major search
engines in parallel with inferences about what you want based on your history of searches.
What a treat! Not sure which was better the cars, music or sense of humor. Your efforts are definitely appreciated. : )
Thanks!

We just got on the web about two weeks ago and I am just learning my way
around. Your web site looks great and the music is very enjoyable.
We have a 1911 Knox 7 pass. touring which we have had for about 15
years. We have toured about 25,000 miles, maybe a little less, the car
has been a great touring machine.
Do you belong to the Knox Club? Jack Hess of Ma. runs this club and
they have a great news letter.
I work on the web page for the HCCA board . The web master is Ed Rowan.
If possible I would like to receive your club newsletter @ P.O. Box 460
Litchfield Ct. 06759.
I will be in Ca. for the tour at Bakersfield in April with my 1909 2
cyl. Buick. After that I have signed up for the Western Gaslight 1&2
tour in Sutter Creek.
My e mail address is sahlitud@neca.com
Looking forward to seeing and hearing from you soon.

Hi! My name is Marilyn Swearingin. I am writing a book about my
grandmother who was the oldest person in Illinois. In researching her
past I found that her father was the first one in the area with a car,
it was a 1911 Overland, (that's all I know). I would like to get a
picture of it so I could include it in the book. Do you know where I
could find one? Thanks, you can reach me at mswear@gtec.com

Dave & Becky,
What a beautiful site and collection of HCC's. I enjoyed the tour very
much. I am looking at what different clubs have posted, and am inviting
those who wish to enter one of their cars in my "Car Show on the Web".
It is a commercial site, but I think some members might find it
enjoyable.
I am sponsoring the "Car Show on the Web" on my website
www.huntertw.com
The show will begin the first part of May and will continue for six
months. The cars will change every month, being voted on before they
change. The winning cars for each of the six months will all compete
for places first through sixth at the seventh month. Jackets and
trophies will be given to the top winning car owners. My web site
targets automotive repair shops, so all entries must be sponsored by a
shop. No entry fee is required. Check out my website and let me know
what you think.
Thanks
Jack Elliott
