    Thank you Ed, seems like you’re the quickest with a helping hand every time I ask!

    Like, 90% of my antique car experience is with Fords, I have also had a 24 Studebaker, a 23 Bay State (Long story there, pun intended) and worked on several other orphans over the years. I learned a lot from my father who was into anything with wheels.

    I planned on getting the CD of the bulletins but prefer a book that I can flip thru.

    I appreciate your reply Greg, once I get to see my “new” car I will have a better idea of what I will need to know.

    Thank you for the welcome! As for her fine racing history I am not sure I want to hear anything more about it as I am criticized as a lead foot already…

    I agree her work is incredible, the reproduction of the CD emblem was flawless and it would take a very experienced collector to know it wasn’t genuine – something I worry about every time I see a very scarce and expensive emblem for sale!

    I don’t know how expensive it would be, but if you contact an emblem restorer named Karla Maxwell and can supply her high resolution pictures with the dimensions she can reproduce it. Several years ago she made a one-off reproduction of a 1908 Chalmers-Detroit emblem from pictures of one in my collection and it was exceptionally good. Look her up online, as I recall her website was worth the visit and her work was outstanding.

    Hi there, my name is Mark Wetherbee and I’m one of your newest members and the future proud caretaker for this beautiful car. Not sure if Mr. Schilde will see this but when I finally get her moved to her new home I will add pictures while making sure she is well sorted out for driving. As for “barn find” it seems to be the new catch phrase for anything around that hasn’t been driven in over a week. Thanks for the comments about the last owners, I had a great conversation with Milt’s son Tim this morning and already have that opinion but it is good to see it here as well.
