  • in reply to: Bendix Vacuum Cylinder Oil #410914

    Bob, I have owned my car 51 years. I have always placed oil in the vacuum thingy on the firewall, and it seemed to find the brake system and work. Has anyone else done it this way? I don’t think I have done it more than three times over the years

    in reply to: Classic Car Club Pierce Status #410700

    As of the last publication of the CCCA board meeting that I read, within the past few months, the membership in the CCCA was down to 857 members. The passing of older members, and the influx of more modern cars, rods, etc. do not bode well for many old car clubs. Indeed, when I was president of the PAS, membership was around 1100. We too have dropped significantly below that figure also since that time period. I have no resolution for this situation, except to wait and see.

    Sorry, I do not

    in reply to: 1929 Pierce arrow sign #410341

    Still a member after 55 years. No more signs, the company that did them won’t do them anymore. Anybody know if Ernie Follis has anymore? I don’t think so.

    Terry Fitch told me today the hotel told him only 60 rooms were reserved, I don’t believe that is correct?

    I have not approached the New England Region. Hopefully they could be involved

    in reply to: ’36 parts book #410026

    I was told they never were produced. I know 1933 existed, because one came with my 33, and was sold with the car

    in reply to: windshield wiper arms #409810

    Damn it. Another life long screwup.

    in reply to: windshield wiper arms #409806

    All these years I thought St. Thomas Aquinas said how many angels fit on the head of a pin.

    in reply to: windshield wiper arms #409801

    Closed the windshield on one of my arms on my ’36. Bought new pair from Max Merritt. $400. Not a typo. Gathered up some others from here and there. Could bring one to Indiana, be prepared to pay half my cost. I have spares of everything. Surprised I had not accumulated some of these. Reason: there just ain’t none around!

    in reply to: Insurance FYI #409758

    I was one of JC Taylor’s first clients, going back to 1964. I started with Robert Wallace’s father, then his brother Richard, and now Robert. From completely refinishing my 31 Pierce after an acid rain attack at the Glens Falls meet($22,000) to questions about coverage, I have never had a problem. I have never compared premium prices, either. When I feel secured and cared for, I have no desire to shop.

    in reply to: 1603 Sidemount tire sizes #409714

    Tom Lester was a good friend of mine. He was very sensitive about his tires, even after he had sold the company. In my thinking, these tires were plain junk. My ’36 weighs almost 6000 pounds. The Lesters were impossible to balance, tracked terribly, and wore out quickly. The BFGoodrich tires that I installed after the Lesters required not one wheel weight. They tracked beautifully, and wear evenly. As far as the sidemounts are concerned, I was lucky enough to find a set of 12 cylinder covers, and they still come no where near covering anything but original tires which are old and rotten.

    in reply to: Porcelain #409668

    Prairie has done a lot of work for me over the years. They are very optimistic about delivery time. Insist that you must have delivery at the time they promise! Keep following up.

    in reply to: My ’34 Convertible Coupe has sold #409554

    Thank you Bill. I enjoyed that video a lot

    in reply to: Trippe Light wrench #409341

    Bill: I may have one, if I do I won’t need it, for I no longer have any Trippe lights. If you can’t find one, remind me in the middle of May, I will be back up North then. Tony
