    What is a Quantum battery

    To the best of my knowledge, no one has any left.  I sold my last two at Hershey (for $150 each set).  Get some copper braising rod, and make your own.  I made a couple a few years ago

    You have one of the best Pierce Arrow technicians anywhere,  right in Southern California.  Billy Sandvik 760 644 5435

    I had one or two of those gold archers years ago.  The ones I had, although of proper dimension, were reproductions.  As I recall, they were mounted on square wooden bases, with some sort of a descriptive placque on the front

    When I had my ’31 conv. coupe, I had a vibration that when incurred, required pulling over and starting off from scratch.  A friend of mine that owned a large truck repair shop invited me to bring the car in.  A young, bright technician, familiar with straight axles adjusted the front end so the problem was solved.   Many of these cars front ends have been screwed around with so bad that they need someone very familiar with that type of front end to correct it

    I don’t know what year the hood door levers became the long ones.  In any event, I have two of the new Dave Murray hood spears for ’36, and some years earlier.  I will sell these.  They are expensive, ’cause there ain’t no mo. 585 739 2917

    Anthony Zappone

    I remember Marlin, and still communicated with him from time to time.  He was an avid Facebook follower, and shared similar political views with me.  My best memory was Marlin arriving at a national meet many years ago.  He car was filled with happy young children, potties, playpens and an aura of familial happiness seldom seen in a club of historically older people.  Another club member, who also drove a “66” looked into the big touring car and was seemingly shocked by all of the paraphernalia it carried.

    Amazingly enough, I ran the NAPA part number through NAPA, and it comes back 36-38 Pierce Arrow Model 1601.  $45.00 and change.   Get a set while you can

    Could this be John Newberry’s old car?  It looks like a nice car

    in reply to: 32 model 54 transmission rebuild #481276
    Anthony Zappone

    Does the transmission you are looking for have the numbers 4220 stamped into the case on one side, and a fan like stamping on the other?

    I have a repo  archer from Blonder, I believe.   I would probably sell it, seeing mine is fine, and hopefully it won’t break.  Call me.  I am assuming ’36 is the same

    I am glad you have found what seems to be a very nice car.  Can you tell us its history?

    Anthony Zappone

    With all due respect:  may I apologize for my use of the word “ass”.  I had a point to make, and I made it, and my position stands.  As for the 2000 meet, you  may have expressed some notion of need for  its occurrence:   however, Freddy Tycher was the larger than life impetus needed to create the extravaganza that resulted.  Jimmy Sandoro, with all his influence in Buffalo, was the frosting on this ten layer cake of the most impressive auto show that I, as a humble third party co-chair helped effect.  I meant no caustic everlasting cast to your behaviour, but quite frankly, get involved or leave the hardworkers alone

    Brooks, I am quite tired of your non productive pontificating.  You want to see a meet, get off your ass and volunteer your time

    in reply to: 2026 PAS meet in Buffalo #480843
    Anthony Zappone

    As one of the co-chair of the 100th anniversary meet, I cannot begin to explain the amount of work that went into that meet.  With Jim Sandoro just having had bypass surgery, we cannot expect anything but advice and assistance from him.  Similarly, I am away from that area now, and too old to become involved.  One suggestion might be to skip  a year , regroup and see if someone else can do the job the following year, or skip the notion altogether and proceed to areas where an effective group can run a meet.

    Anthony Zappone

    No, this is a real car.  It belonged to Ted Fosgate when I first joined the PAS.  It had been through a number of owners before John Steckbeck really ironed out all the mechanical issues.   The fake ones have the rear doors hinged like a sedan, both door handles are together in the middle.  My car is body number 6,, I forgot the number of Bob’s car

     

    Anthony Zappone

    This was Bob Sands car also.  He had over $300,000 in the car and restoration.  It is an incredibly well done car, typifying Bob’s love of town cars

     

    Anthony Zappone

    Those cars are from Bob Sands’ estate.  Any info call me 585 739 2917

    For the first time in 58 years, I am unable to attend Hershey.  A close family member has been diagnosed with a life threatening medical condition.  If you think I may have a part you could use, call me: 585 739 2917, or email me [email protected].  I do have a lot of stuff, I welcome any call.

    First of all, after going to Hershey for 58 years, you would think I could spell Hershey properly.   Second of all, I could also leave my phone number: 585 739 2917
