Re: Project Under Consideration

She will be a beauty when finished. Love that green. I'm thinking white roof though...

Good luck with the whole thing. Will look nice sitting next to your Ruby.

Re: Project Under Consideration

That is beautiful! Even all dirty and sitting up. It's a toss up which car is my favorite, the 56 or the 62. I already have the 62 so a 56 is next. Don is this a car that's for sale, a car you just saw sitting, or a car you are going to buy/have bought already? You guys remember the black 56 that wa...

Re: Carbon Offsets

Adam this isn't something you add to your gas tank. Basically what Mike is doing is fining himself for driving a vehicle that emits pollutants. Someone or something polluted less and got credit for it, now Mike has purchased that credit to even out the pollutants from his car. I don't believe there ...

Re: Searching for a Special Imperial

Don those are some clever vehicles. What ever happened to them, you just use them up? I think I've seen late 50 Imperials as hearses before, but couldn't put my finger on any pictures.

Re: Generator rebuild?

Well, in our "throw away" society I would imagine rebuilders of this sort are few and far between. Admittedly, it's been a few years since I've needed one. But I think if you can find one, it will be a shop with just a couple old guys who would be wizards at rebuilding generators and whatnot, and pr...

Re: Generator rebuild?

I would suggest taking your generator to an auto electric place and have it rebuilt. They can bump up the power a little. Also I've heard of, but never experienced, an alternator that looks like a generator. Notice I didn't say it was inexpensive.

Re: 57 Has Returned

Re: 65 Imperial Convertible - LA

Wow is that beautiful. Not sure on the price. I've seen various Imperial convertibles at that price linger with no buyer. I guess the seller can always come down on price.
