    That’s why I put the measurements above, it looks the same in pictures.

    If anyone knows if this is a feature of all 12 cylinder cars or just the 1247 series please post it here.

    Thank you again!

    Thank you, but the crank hole cover is MUCH LARGER as this comparison shows. I have found pictures of three different 1933 model 1247’s on line showing this as a horn button, two Convertible Sedans and a Roadster.

    Thank you Doug! I spent a while looking at pictures online of the 33 cars, especially 1247 models and found pictures of this emblem as the horn button on a couple Convertible Sedans and one Roadster, but I have not been able to find one as a key cover.

    From there I searched the 32 and 34 models to see if it was used as a horn button and have so far come up empty. If anyone has more information as to which years and series may have used this emblem please let me know. I am going to forward what I found to Mike Shears’s website and have it added to his PA emblem list.

    Thank you again, I appreciate your input!

    Not sure if it is the same, but I will email you a picture of the one from my 31 model 43.

    There’s a 1925 on eBay with that style bumper, you might be able to get some information from the seller.

    My posting was only using my recognition of the emblem to help assist the identity of the car above, as you have far better done. As I would love to own such a magnificent Automobile it is well above my means to do so, however I remain very  content with just the radiator emblem in my collection.

    Here’s an 09 that really fits the picture…

    I am pretty sure it is a Stevens Duryea going on the general shape of the radiator emblem (this emblem is a little bit later I believe). I would venture a guess that the car is around 1908-10 vintage. Rauch & Lang used a very similar emblem but much later on than the car in the picture.

    Please let me know how it works out with the edging, I’m still a ways off of needing it.

    This might explain why I had that service letter picture so easily available: I spent time today setting my oil pump back in the right orientation which was a lot easier when I had it 180 degrees off… that only took one attempt, getting it right took 6 or 7 as I kept hitting one tooth either side of the right one. Now that’s done I can get the pan back up while I wait on my head from the machine shop.

    This comes to mind, there’s a minimum order length of 10 feet so plenty to work with until you get the length right. Putting the seam under the wires should hide it from view. I haven’t ordered any yet but there’s many sizes and styles to choose from.

    I don’t know if this was consistent, but this is from 1930 and covered the oil pump alignment in the 8’s.Service letter P-515

    in reply to: Curb weight question #426614

    If my HOA would allow a container it would be better, but the trailer is the only legitimate thing I can do. If they complain all I have to do is point out every boat trailer in the development and tell them to hit the road or have hundreds of people forced to move them to a storage area. It would be a losing proposition for them and they would know it…

    in reply to: Curb weight question #426605

    Thank you, I figured around 4500 for the car but needed that sanity check.

    I’m not so much a fan for trailering but I was interested in a mobile garage because I have another car stored at a neighbors place while I’m working on the Pierce and my space is still limited. My truck could just legally handle the empty trailer to move it to the house but an upgrade on the axle and tires will be done for the future and I will find someone that could legally pull it if it needs moved when loaded.

    Thank you for the weight. Mark

    I was beat to the Model T line…

    The lenses showing up was a surprise that I had missed, but I doubt they would have fit my 31.

    Agree David, I just thought I would mention that and hopefully help keep someone’s privacy intact if that was their desire.

    in reply to: Demo of Proposed New Message Board Host – AACA #425457

    Having finally watched the presentation there’s just one thing I really believe needs to be addressed is allowing those members who wish to be anonymous by using a profile name in place of their own should not be called out by other members. Over the years I have had three different profiles, the first was lost in a major system glitch in the infancy of the AACA forum for which I am grateful as it gave me an opportunity to create #2… My second profile is an anonymous name and is used when discussing various collectibles of value which I would rather not have the world knowing whose they are. My final profile is my name and is used to talk about my cars, Sell things, and or be helpful. Several people who I have grown to trust know the story of my anonymous profile but I like to keep it segregated for personal reasons (most importantly being that I’ve PO’d several people in the past 20 years…).

    I write this because I never knew who Grimmy was before this presentation and feel that it was his option to remain anonymous.

    As far as the other arguments against this move, I am cautiously optimistic that it will be a value added benefit to the PAS so long as we members continue to do as Greg suggests by directing the specific questions to the clubs vast data stores of information. If $45 membership isn’t worth the access I would be surprised.

    Oh well, Don asked me to hold off telling who bought it for a few days…

    Congratulations Don, and welcome!

    in reply to: RM Sothebys Fall Auction Auburn 2020 #425393

    I found out who bought the Phaeton and he is a new member here as of yesterday. Hopefully he will fall in love with it and it will stay with him for a long time, but as mentioned above it would not be difficult to get out of it financially either.
