I believe that the small sparkplugs were used in 1935. I do have a reproduction 1936 aluminum head, polished, that I would sell. Including the polishing, I have $1400 invested. I would sell the head for half that. This head was standard from 1936-1938. Please speak to someone knowledgable about these aluminum heads before you consider buying mine. I could deliver this head to Hershey, if anyone else is interested. Tony

Ludwig Kuhl is an expert clock repairman here in the Rochester,N.Y. area. He has brought many hopeless clocks back to life, including the Waltham (which was designated unfixable by others) from my 1931 Model 42. Phone 585-392-8128. Tony
Every car I have spits, just this way. The carbon stains the floor and wherever else it lands. What the guys in Florida taught me is to rubber band a sweat sock on the tail pipe when you start the car. The sock catches the black and the moisture, problem solved.
Two years ago, I sold my wife’s red 1995 Cutlass Supreme Convertible on E-BAy. I wrote a two page description, supplied a car-fax, and documented every bit of the car’s history. I sold it for $8500, which was every bit of the car’s value. It was a superior piece, it was described precisely, and sold.
I took a $1000 down payment on Pay Pal, and waited for a certified check before releasing the car. In retrospect, I would no longer take a certified check, but have the final payment done by wire transfer to one of my accounts.
Before the transaction was completed, I had almost 1000 hits, and 100 people watching the sale at completion. Tony
