I’ve always heard them referred to as ‘rag joint’ couplers.

Great way to get back on the road in a pinch.

Good luck with your cross country travels.

Your trip would be a great story for the newsletter.

Nice find. A short but informative article about one of the marque’s offerings.

Hopefully it spurns the uninitiated into looking into PA motor cars.

Were the spring covers an option or were they standard on all PA’s?

I ask because I have never seen nor heard of any type of spring covers on our very original ’29 that was purchased by my grandfather in the early 60’s.

The car was purchased from someone who ‘flipped’ the car having purchased it cheaply from the original owner so the car has pretty much only had two owners.

That shop is clean as an operating room.

You’re right, the most important thing is you’re bringing the car back so it will be around for years to come.

The icing on the cake is that you’ll get to walk out into the garage and enjoy the car any time you like.

I like the little step stool to aid entry into the trailer.

I wonder how many Travelodge still have them?

I’d be interested in at least 2.

I have one missing from a spare tire now but I would be willing to have at least 2 on the shelf.

Nice see the drivetrain is coming along.

I know you’ll have a huge grin on your face when the engine fires for the first time.

Thanks for the update.

Looks like you’ll be scheduling your engine starting party soon!

That is a great idea to pull the bearings in towards each other.

Jak, thanks for reposting some of my visor pics.

I did a quick search at home and couldn’t find them right away.

Jim, I will measure my visors and get you an exact size.

I will also take more pictures of the mounting brackets and get some dimensions for you.

On page 56 and 57 of Restoration Supply Company’s catalog you may find a mirror that will mount to your base or act as a complete replacement.

I picked up this non-contact thermometer from Amazon for $19.

The unit seems to be very accurate and has a laser pointer so you can see exactly where you are getting a temperature reading.

More photos from the 1929 LA Auto Show.

These are from the LA Times with before and after pictures.

Not a bad starting price for both cars.

I am missing one of these keepers on a spare.

I figured if I ever needed to use the spare I would just move the lock to it.

I would love to have another one so that all my wheels had them.

In my mind they must be needed otherwise so many manufacturers wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to use them.

David said he’s run without them for years but I would feel safer knowing the ring is securely held in place.

Who knows, maybe with modern tube and tire manufacturing processes the locks really are an unneeded relic of the past.

What a great car to find and restore.

Make sure to post plenty of pictures along the way.

Richard has set the bar pretty high for restoration updates.

A second thank you to Benjamin for going out of your way to grab some photos and post them here.

It is a great looking car.
