It has the pre-eminent V-12 Engine for Lincoln, the 450 Cubic inch V-12, with fork & Blade connecting rods, and serial number matching the firewall tag. This big V-12 was only built by Lincoln for 2 years, 1932 and 1933, and was so expensive to build that in 1934 it was shelved for a smaller V-12. Among Prewar Lincoln enthusiasts, the ’32 and ’33 KB V-12 has always been the most desirable by far. It has enough power to challenge a Packard 12, or even a Duesenberg! The driving experience is superior, with smooth clutch, easy shifting, the synchromesh transmission feels great, and excellent vacuum assisted brakes. It’s comfortable at freeway speeds, and excels climbing hills! This car is a CCCA Car-a-van veteran, and is ready for enjoyment now!
It won Classic Car Club of America Senior badge #2404 in 2001 with 97.5 points. The current owner has had it since the 1990’s. Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s, Lyle Finley owned the car. His restorer, Dick Towers, took it on the 1982 CCCA Pacific Northwest Caravan. At the time, the paint was still the original!
The paint is super high quality Fran Roxas work, the doors fit and close wonderfully, and it’s delightful to drive and operate!
The interior is the original whipcord cloth, and in excellent condition! The top leather is mostly original, and in very good shape.
This is a great car, and you’d love it if you owned it!

Looks great with whitewalls, just enough to accent the black coachwork.

.
The finish and detail of this engine are beautiful!
.
When the original owner paid $5,000 for this car in ’33, he got a sumptuous and luxurious cabin, with full instrumentation, a woodgrained dashboard, and comfortable seats in wool whipcord cloth. This is the actual original interior, giving a window into how nicely this car has been taken care of.

Lovely!

Beautiful dashboard and excellent gauges

Dramatic profile!
This is an authentic Dietrich custom body Lincoln, one of only a handful in existence. It shows the Dietrich brilliance in styling, with a low accent line and rakish windshield and convertible top. The visual effect continues with a rearmounted spare, which accents the fender line and makes the car look lower still. Extensive use of aluminum for the body was very advanced for the time, and the design stands the test of time. The Dietrich seat tag and cowl tags are present, and overall it’s an authentic, real example of this rare body style.
1927 was a year of technical improvement for the Lincoln “L” – most importantly the addition of front brakes, which this car has! The wheels are 21” demountable rims on wood “artillery” wheels.
It has the L-head Lincoln V-8, which has had some recent repair and service by a Lincoln expert. The original updraft carburetor and accessories are included, but the car runs on a downdraft Holley 2 barrel now. The top mechanism is complete and works, the doors open and close nicely, and the windows operate properly.
Overall this is a good, mostly complete and solid car. It could be improved and enjoyed, or given a more thorough restoration. It has the look of a car that had some restoration done in the early days of the hobby, and would be a worthy candidate for further restoration and re-commissioning, which would be necessary to bring it to full operability. I note the rear spare demountable rim is absent, the car will need to be re-wired – it starts & runs, but lights, charging, etc are not functional. The rumble seat lid was done in fiberglass, and the rumble seat cushions are missing. The tires are very old and should be replaced.
The California title is Clean, and the ’27 Lincoln Dietrich is ready for it’s new owner!

1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spur
The Silver Spur is the Rolls Royce answer to the question “how shall we be more luxurious, more comfortable, and, dare we say it, more excessive?“ When you roll up in your Roller, you make a statement!
With a 6.75 liter overhead valve V-8, 3 speed automatic transmission, dual caliper power disc brakes, suspension leveling, power steering,and many, many other features, it is supremely comfortable and luxurious. It has just undergone a service at a well respected independent service outlet here in California. It passed California smog easily the first time through, and runs and drives beautifully! It has had wonderful care at Rolls Royce dealers over the years!
The dignified black paint – almost entirely original – matches the original black Everflex roof, and the lovely soft black Connoly hides with red piping. The Windows are original dark tinted, and it even has a 1980’s Motorola Dyna-Tac cellular phone in the rear armrest!
The original walnut wood trim is absolutely spectacular! Smooth, shiny, and looks new, matching the lovely dash panel and instruments! The thick Mouton wool carpet overlays are in place, The interior is wonderful, as nice as it is possible to be! And don’t forget the twin walnut picnic trays for the rear seat occupants!
The full Complement of Rolls Royce Toolkit, jack and warning triangle accompany this fine car, along with the owner’s Manual, service record book, and the complete owners folio pouch. The service record book shows it was cared for at the Rolls Royce dealer Carriage House Motor Cars until 2008, and includes a current, Clean CARFAX ! I note a couple of paint flaws/chips on the hood, and the A/C isn’t cold.

The dual overhead cam hemispherical combustion chamber arrangement set the standard for high performance since Peugeot introduced the concept in their grand prix cars of 1912 – indeed all of the greats – Miller, Offenhauser, Duesenberg, Stutz, Alfa-Romeo, Ferrari and Lamborghini, and, of course, Jaguar have used this design when the need for speed and power was imperative! As you look at the chiseled cam covers, the porcelainized exhaust manifolds, and the dual SU Carburetors, you know this was built for performance!
.
Dual SU Carburetors! (Note the “type C” cam covers look great, but it’s not a “type C” engine.)
.
The engine was rebuilt about 20 years ago, and was very lightly used. We were unsatisfied with the ring sealing, so we sent the car to a Jaguar marque specialist to install new rings and do some other recommissioning to put the car back on the road, with excellent results.

This is a very dramatic and beautiful car – made more so by the updates, believed to have been done in period, to the Pall Mall coachwork, including side molding, skirted fenders, lowered windshield and dual cowl with windshield for the rear passengers.
.
This car makes use of the 143 inch wheelbase, servo assisted mechanical brakes, and iron cylinder head atop the 7.7 liter/468 cubic inch six cylinder engine. It is a delightful car to drive, with marvelous power and torque, wonderful brakes, and comfortable suspension. The driving experience is superior to almost every other car from the 1920’s that I’ve piloted!

The Red Rolls Royce Badge. Folklore says the red changed to black to honor Sir Henry Royce’s passing in 1933. The Rolls club says it was actually to have a more neutral color to blend with customer’s coachwork and colors.
.
20″ Wire wheels. Springfield Rolls Royce used the Wire Wheel Corporation of America, Buffalo NY ” Buffalo Wires” instead of the English specification wheels. A special wrench is included, as is a nearly complete tool kit for the car. It should be noted the tires are old, and should be replaced.

Nice view of the 7.7 liter / 468 Cubic inch six cylinder engine. It runs very nicely indeed! This is an early P-1, so it has the desirable iron cylinder head, which was refurbished with some crack pinning by the Vintage Garage, in Brookfield, MA in 2001. This repair has held nicely, the car runs cool and keeps the water and oil where they belong!
.
Dual distributor, generator, cylinders cast in blocks of 3, and splash pans visible.
The original mechanical restoration was handled in co-operation with the owners and Herb Wuesthoff, a Rolls specialist in the Bay Area at the time. Bodywork and paint were done by Steve Patience in Hayward, CA. Copies of Extensive notes and receipts are included from these efforts.
More recently, the car was treated to a mechanical refurbishment at a well known local restorer, including gas tank removal, cleaning and re-sealing, radiator flush, cylinder head re-torque, valve adjustment

This is a great car, with great history – we have the names of the original owners in Beverly Hills, CA in ’28, the second owners in ’29, and then a California DMV letter that shows another California owner starting in 1949, with a clear record until the current owners bought it in ’68. The next photo shows how it was as they found it in ’68!
.
As of 1968 it still had the 1949 License plate ! It arrived without top bows, and missing the dual cowl, although the hardware for the dual cowl was still in the car.
.
Here it is on the Ramp at Pebble Beach ’75, winning it’s first place in class trophy. The Brewster notation on this old picture is inaccurate, it’s actually Rolls Royce Custom Coachwork, done by Merrimac

It’s a tremendous design – the chrome spear curving down the belt line, the rearmount spare tire, the glass rain shields at the top of each window, the hinged windshield, the SUNROOF, the hood and cowl louvers, and wheel discs make for a really good looking car!

A wonderful profile!
.
The actual build sheet for the car! It shows Stanley Johnson of Bearsted House as the original owner as of April 20th, 1934, and also the original engine, A8S which is still in the car! I like the note about the angled hood louvers, and the factory designation as a Sports Saloon!
.
.
the BKL1 is the original Bluemels license plate referenced in the Dalton Coachbuilt Rolls Royce book. And the Black California plate means it’s been in California since at least the 1960’s.
.
Great styling from every angle! I absolutely Love rearmounted spares! and on this car, the whole tail light and license plate apparatus is clamped to the center hub, with bumpers trimmed to match the spare.
.
Here’s the driver’s side – that’s the right side!
.
And the Classic Spirit of Ecstasy Mascot, and the iconic Rolls Royce grille!
.
That dark green is the original paint, and the original color. Unfortunately the previous owners did a bunch of sanding and primer on the body, at least there is factory paint to guide the restoration if you wish.
.
Mostly original leather, but as you can see it will need to be redone. Good patterns for the seat pleating! And the stuffing coming out is the original goose down, only the best materials were used!
.
Good steering wheel, and good instruments and accessories. The woodgrain will need some help!
.
Speedometer, oil pressure, temp gauge and amp meter and the dash lights and head lights all work ! However, the Petrol gauge and clock don’t work.
.
throttle, carburetion and spark controls all hooked up and working.
.
The original Coachbuilder’s plate atop the original carpeting.
.
The seats are on rails, and are adjustable.
.
All 4 of the original window frames survive, and I love how the window frame matches the outside chrome belt line trim! All 4 inner doorhandles, all 4 window cranks, and all 4 exterior doorhandles survived and are mounted on the car.
.
The original doorpanels did not survive. Some of the wood body structure is good and solid, for example the rear doors fit and shut nicely, however there are places, notably both front doors, that will need further repair.
.
The back seat has a nice arm rest feature, and of course will need restoration.
.
Both front seats have this cool spring loaded map pocket feature!
.
the Rolls 6 cylinder engine, It starts easily and runs and drives! The autovac is working, and the brakes stop the car nicely!
.
Hub wrench and knock off hammer visible here in their original mountings.
.
Engine crank and crank for the jack.
.
exhaust side, showing the Autovac, dynamo and Starter.

The engine starts easily and runs quietly.

It will require restoration – what a spectacular style and a show-stopper when it’s done!

2003 Corvette 50th Anniversary special Edition. 2 owners, 35k Miles, LS V-8, 6 speed, Like a new car! SOLD
The 1900 Blitz-Worferton was the predecessor to the eventual incarnation of the Rolls-Wolfington, upon which Henry Royce took over in a vicious boardroom proxy fight, leaving the inventory stacked up in the factory and tools scattered about. Definitely shocking behavior in Edwardian England!
This 1938 Packard Twelve Coupe-Roadster is Packard’s top of the line glamor car that year – and this one looks great in black with maroon leather interior. The 473 Cubic inch V-12 runs great after a valve job at well known Packard Specialist Scott Henningsen’s shop, and it is a delightful car to drive!
.
Black really works for this roadster!
.
Rumbleseat, dual sidemounts, trippe lights, Cormorant hood ornament, and sidemount mirrors!
.
Trunk rack for those tours and CAR-A-VANS. It’s obviously a CCCA full Classic, as well as welcome in the AACA, and the Packard Club.
Wonderful in profile. Let’s review why the late Packard Twelve is one of the best driving Classic Cars ever built – There’s the 160 Horsepower 473 Cubic inch engine, with torque like a steam locomotive. There’s the silky smooth synchro-mesh 3 speed transmission. There’s the independent front suspension and powerful hydraulic brakes. And the wonderful Bragg-Kliesrath vacuum power brake and power clutch assist, which make pushing those big pedals a pleasure instead of a chore. Take a drive with me in the videotape just below!

It’s very much of the late 1930’s streamline moderne era, – the way they did the fenderline and sidemounts give the effect of making a tall car look much lower and more sleek. And of course the super low top when folded down helps the look too.
.
Looks great in any setting!
.
Here it is with the top raised.
.
High quality top, showing just a bit of age.
.
Note the radiator shutters just starting to open. When the car is warmed up they open all the way, just like they’re supposed to.
.
A great shot of the Cormorant
.
Sidemounted spares with sidemount mirrors.
.
Very nice leather interior, in maroon. The finish on this leather is very authentic, it’s a smoother texture more like the original leather was.
.
Very high quality upholstery, although it was done a while back and shows a bit of wear.
.
The black and maroon work great together!
.
The ’38 senior Packard dashboard is one of the all time great dashboards – 5 dials rimmed in chrome and accented by chrome ribbed background – WOW!
.
Nice Banjo steering wheel with Packard crest horn button. I noticed the temperature gauge doesn’t seem to register, and possibly the gas gauge isn’t working.
.
’38 only ribbed doorhandles and window cranks
.
There it is, the 473 Cubic inch V-12. Fresh from a valve job, and it runs great! They put a gorgeous porcelain intake and exhaust manifold on it too!
.
Wonderful!
.
Here’s the right side of the engine.
.
Open that hood and draw a crowd !
.
The paint looks like it was done in lacquer, and so it has some age showing, some crack lines show up in various places. You would miss points at a judged show, but the car still presents well and looks good.
.
Here’s an area above the golf bag door.

’41 was a breakthrough year for Packard styling, with the first headlights streamlined into the fender.
.
Love the bumpergards. Note the excellent radial whitewalls. The CCCA recently made appropriate looking radial whitewalls acceptable in judging – they look great, and they make a huge improvement in the driving experience!
.
Beautiful! Note the deluxe wheelcovers that extend the chrome over the inner wheel.
.
Here’s a closer look at the wheelcovers
.
The deep Packard Maroon paint is a perfect choice for a sporty coupe
.
Sreamline Moderne Packard tail lights, and rear bumperguard
.
This is a car that can be toured without hesitation! It’ll keep up with freeway traffic, the brakes are the powerful hydraulic original design drums. The 1941 Packard 160 was ahead of it’s time, the engine and chassis configuration took Packard all the way to 1950 – because it was so well engineered! The driving feel is modern, stable and sure.
.
The interior is freshly and correctly done, with leather and whipcord combination
.
All of the woodgraining has been correctly and beautifully redone, it’s spectacular! This view also shows the carefully adapted A/C and Heater box.
.
And here are the cleverly done A/C and heater controls, done with Packard plastic knobs! And look how nice the plastic is! Oh, and the A/C or heat comes out of the radio grilles – I think that is a great touch, the car looks correct, but you get the modern A/C experience.
.
Rear seat, lovely with the leather and whipcord.
.
Excellent woodgrained rear window trim, and excellent headlining.
.
Beautiful interior
.
Beautiful!
.
Nice leather wrapped steering wheel
.
Nice instruments, they all work properly. This car was professionally converted to 12 volts, and care was taken to make sure the system works like it should.
.
Really pretty inside!
.
Here’s the 356 Straight 8. A marvel of engineering, with counterweighted crankshaft, nine main bearings, and gobs of torque. This one runs great!
.
Here’s the carburetor and manifold side, with the dual throat downdraft Stromberg carburetor.
.
Here’s a view of the original oil filter, the 12 volt alternator, and hidden below the alternator, the modern style A/C compressor. you’ll note the car has a dual belt, so the crank pulley was custom made to accomodate the dual pulley.
.
Here’s the original hood ornament.
.
The paint on the car is older, and does show some flaws here and there.
There’s a ding on the front fender, as well as what look like crack repairs at the fender edge on both front fenders. So it would lose points at a concours, but the real greatness of this car is how nicely it will drive on the tours!
.
The trunk is spacious and nicely trimmed.
.
A great looking car!
.
Super!
.
Room for 4, room for luggage, plenty of power, ready to enjoy right now!

2020 Mazda Miata MX-5 100th Anniversary edition. 435 Original Miles! SOLD OFF TO MISSOURI
This 1902 White Model B Steam car , S/N 340 has history back to the origins of the antique car hobby in the 1930’s, with giant name owners including George Whitney, Lindley Bothwell, and D. Cameron Peck. It has been meticulously researched and obsessively and thoroughly restored, with a Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance trophy in the 2014 “Early Steam Car” class with a second place trophy!
.
There it is, steaming on the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance field in 2014, with the oil lamps glowing! on the way to winning its class award! As we go through this presentation, you’ll see why this car was judged so highly.
.
Here it is, second row far left, at the Bothwell ranch “Rinconada” taken in 1948.
.
And the earliest known photo , again from 1948, taken at the Bothwell ranch.
.
.
And a clear view of the car – steam propulsion from the dawn of the automobile age, finished in the original shade of deep green.
.
This is the end result of a total mechanical and cosmetic restoration done to the highest standard, resulting in a car that looks and steams like it did when it was new in 1902!
.
There are thought to be only 10 complete 1901/1902 White model B Steamers extant, with another 3 partially complete cars. That’s extremely rare indeed!
The provenance of this car is stellar. George Whitney, one of the earliest collectors of antique cars amassed a 70 car collection near San Francisco in the 1930’s and 1940’s. He sold a batch of 52 cars to another prolific and pioneering collector Lindley Bothwell in 1943. The Bothwells did some work on the car, and then sold it to the legendary D. Cameron Peck, a Chicago collector. D. Cameron Peck owned it from 1950 to 1952, when under pressure from his family, he auctioned off the entire collection. Morris P. Frost owned it from 1952 to 1955, then sold it to Scribner executive G. McKay Shieffelin ( The Grandson of Charles Scribner II of publishing fame). The sale was effected by an auction run by another legendary hobbyist, Henry Austin Clark. The auction description in 1955: “This is a very beautiful example of the early White steamer. The property of Morris Frost, who has become a Stanley nut, and is bored with a White that needs nothing. New boiler and everything. This is a real cream puff. Bring money.” G. McKay Shieffelin owned the car for the longest time of any known owner, from 1955 to 1985.
Bernard Levine, a steam enthusiast, owned it from 1985 to 1990, when Allen Blazick – another multi-steam car owner – bought the car. By this time the car needed some mechanical refreshing, so the Blazicks sold it to the current owner in 2009, at which point the total restoration commenced!
The rubber floor covering is a great example of the commitment to authenticity and originality. The original pattern was copied and the entire floor covering re-made exactly as new.
We see details of the pinstriping here.
.
Since it’s a steam car, we have a fuel tank pressure gauge – which registers about 20 PSI when running
.
And a steam pressure gauge, which should be about 220 PSI when running
And a boiler temperature gauge.
In this interesting view of the undercarriage, we see the drive chain, and the boiler tubes
.
In another view of the undercarriage, we see the drive chain and the burner pan with the secondary air tubes going through it and the brass sub-burner attached. The main fuel/air nozzle is at the top center
.
Steam tubes and drive mechanism. Note the attention to detail here.
.
Nice view of the front suspension – note the pinstriping on the springs and axle.
Beautifully restored tool panel.
Tiller on the seat.
Lovely dark green paint and high quality bodywork – wood body of course.
The controls are at your right.
Another view of the floor covering. Also note the hand pumps.
.
Done exactly as original, there is a Leather top with leatherette side panel, and a small side window at eye level.
.
The inner top liner is the correct shade of pale green wilton wool. Again, this attention to detail and high quality work is what makes a top concours trophy winner!
Here’s the top on the way down.
excellent paint and body finish work.
.
The 6 HP twin cylinder steam engine lives here underneath the body
.
Just like the steam powered railroad locomotives, the crankshaft and connecting rods are right out in the open, powering the chain in the center. A leather apron which fastens to the frame just in front of the engine has been removed so you can see the engine. It keeps mud and debris out of the bearings.
.
The Fuel Tank just below the floorboard
And the copper water tank at the rear of the vehicle. note the baffle in the center that shows when the cap is removed.
.
Here’s a photo of the White Steam Carriage as it went together
.
A116 is the engine number. The car is definitely a model “B”, but has an “A” prefix open crankshaft engine, which both “A” and “B” models used. It’s possible that it was factory installed, or replaced later, we don’t know for sure.
.
The boiler was cleaned up and re-insulated in 2010. We think there were some boiler tubes replaced during the Mckay Shieffelin ownership.
.
Working tail light – again, same as the trains of the era!
This car has been cared for by legends in the car collecting hobby – add your name to this distinguished list of collectors!
.

This 1968 Dodge Dart GTS is now awake and alive after being hidden in a building in the High Desert of California since 1987! The former owner obviously planned to restore it – he bought parts and restoration items for it, but time got in the way, as it sometimes does. After his passing, the family sold us the car. Ever the optimist, I thought it might wake up and live – and sure enough, it did! And it’s offered by The Vault Classic Cars Dealership, Fullerton, CA. 714-401-1047.
.
Here it is, as found. Thankfully it was well stored, in a nice building with a concrete floor. If you’re gonna go after a barn find, it’s nice to see it in this type of barn! And, it is a totally solid rust free black license plate California car, with original paint on everything except the right front fender!

Here it is on the road after a significant wake-up effort! We did the full brakes, including booster, master cylinder, hoses, wheel cylinders, shoes, and drums turned. The power steering gearbox and pump were rebuilt, A rebuilt Carter AVS 4 Barrel was installed, and a new gas tank too. New radial tires, and a new Windshield. The result of all this work is a car that made a successful 70 mile round trip freeway drive to a Cars & Coffee event
.
It’s equipped with the 340 high performance V-8, factory air conditioning, Sport steering Wheel, Bucket Seats, Console shifter, Bumblebee stripes, Power drum brakes, and all of the GTS stuff like the hood and emblems.

The engine runs great! Lots of power , it’s a good motor. The block is from 1972, so obviously a replacement block at some point. The cylinder heads and manifolds are the original High-Performance items from the 1968 340. I’ll run through them here:
Cylinder heads: 2531894 – Hi Po 2.02 intake valve head.
Intake manifold: 2531915 ’68 only 4 barrel
Left exhaust: 2863553, Right exhaust 2863549

Left side exhaust. The right side is too close to the shock tower to get a photo, but I made a tracing of it on paper to get the number.
.
.
Like you were in the barn yourself!
In 1968, the hidden body numbers on the trunk lip, the radiator core support, and the trim tag all matched the build order, not the VIN #. As we’ll see, all three of these numbers match, E8L155105.
.
The lower right number, 155105.

It’s a time machine – look at that 1984 sticker. there are a couple of other sticker partials on top, but 1987 was the last time this car was on the road in California!
.
Terrific!

Up, Running, and ready for the next owner to show as a preservation car and enjoy, or take it to the next level!

A great running car

Fan belts and radiator

This view shows the radiator shutters – that work when the coolant temperature is warmed up. Cadillac had these external shutters instead of an internal thermostat. Nice to see them working!
.
The car was rewired, using a combination of original style and modern wiring components.
.
It’s really pretty!

Wow!

It has been in the same California family since the 1950’s, with appreciative care and maintenance. It was restored at Bill Borzi’s California shop in 1990, and It is a delightful car to drive, with excellent power, smooth and silent transmission, and working factory overdrive!
.
That is a big, beautiful car! Even though it’s on the longest wheelbase of 148 inches, the overall length is only 225 inches – or 18 feet 9 inches – so as long as you have a 20 foot deep garage, it’ll fit! By comparison, the 50’s / 60’s Buick Electra 225 was so named because it was 225 inches long
.
The Wilshire green paint was done in lacquer by Bill Borzi’s well known shop back in about 1990. Although it shows a bit of age – a few chips, scratches and spots of lacquer check – it still looks very nice. Good enough to bring to a show, just not enough to win trophies.
.
The interior is excellent, done in wool broadcloth, and retaining the original luxurious lambs wool rear carpeting
.
And all of your friends can ride with you when the jump seats are deployed
.
And there’s the divider window bulkhead
.
Nice headliner

Nice forward headliner

The 180 Packards of 1940 were made of giant slabs of plastic. It was the early plastic, leading to some imperfections with age. This dash fits that bill, it’s good but does show a few places of not looking new.
.
Black California license plate! Known California history to the 1950’s. It was sold new in Chicago according to the “1940 Packard 1808 Registry”. The car is super solid.
.
Here’s the 356 engine, the correct original one. AND, look at that CYLINDER HEAD! I have never seen one of these before, it’s an Edmunds finned aluminum cylinder head! A very rare and cool accessory. And also note the modern rotary A/C compressor. If you go on a caravan during the summer, you will be the most popular driver on the tour!
.
The driver’s side of the engine. This engine runs great! It has great oil pressure, runs smoothly, starts easily hot or cold, runs cool with a brand new radiator, and has all the power you should expect in a Packard 180!
.
A few paint flaws, shown here up close.
.
I like the bumperguards
.
And the center beauty rings – they cover the wheel in addition to the regular hubcap and trim ring. Deluxe all the way!

.
That is a spectacular restoration of a well documented racing survivor! It has a 270 cubic inch Offenhauser, quick change rear axle, transverse leaf springs, hydraulic shock absorbers, drum brakes, and in-out gearbox.
.
Purposeful and powerful!
.
Four into one exhaust.
.
There’s Doc Shanebrook himself, driving his Offy Sprint car at the Dayton track. Dr. John Adrain went to those races, and saw Doc Shanebrook in action! And, later on, found this exact car and had it restored. Take a look at the unusual and graceful grille, and front bumper bar – seen today on the restored car!
Shanebrook at Dayton, August 1951. Doc Shanebrook was 6 feet 4 inches tall, an absolute giant for a sprint car driver! John Adrain was a tall guy too – so when he bought the racer later in life, he knew he could fit inside the car!
John Adrain did some excellent research on the car, resulting in this footnoted history. Let’s have a look at it:
The Shanebrook “Big” Car
History by John Adrain.
Constructed winter 1948-’49
Owner built, owner driver, owner owned, owner wrenched
Dayton Track Record held by Shanebrook in the Shanebrook Offy:
1 Lap 6/4/50 till 7/9/50 (broken by Ruttman)
8 Laps 6/4/50 till May 13, 1951 (cracked by Daywalt) *(1)
Shoestring thin “Doc” Shanebrook, 64″ tall and minimally financed, forced to do it himself, harbored a fierce desire to race which enabled him to take on the west coast professional chauffeurs with their fancy factory-built Kurtis Krafts. These cars were completely equipped, with professional drivers, professional mechanics, big (for the time) sponsorship, appearance money and expense accounts. Crafty old “Doc” Shanebrook was still able to excel against these formidable opponents.
The Midwest AAA 1951 standings reveal: *0)
- Ruttman, the California flash in the Agajanian No. 98 Jr. car. *(3)
- Duane Carter, in Speed Age Magazine’s Mechanic of the Year ’51 Clay Smith’s car *(3)
- Joe James in another California Special *(3)
- Shanebrook Offy, self-built, self-maintained, self-financed, 1st midwestern car from a do-it-yourself operation from Gary, Indiana, was 4th in Midwest AAA standings 1951 against this formidable and professional opposition. This finish gave
Shanebrook the authority to carry the No. 4 designation throughout
the 1952 season. This is as it appeared in most photographs, with its familiar Gaelic numerical configuration. *(3)
After gaining a 12th in 1950, he was able to attain 4th place standing in 1951, a personal best. Shanebrook and the car dropped to 21st in 1952, and 31st in 1953. *(1)*(2)
On July 1, 1951, at Winchester, Indiana, he showed the intestinal fortitude to take the car on the track after both Cecil Green and Bill Mackey were killed in time trials, pulling to an incredible 4th place, with Duane Carter winning. *(3) Again at Dayton on April 20, 1952, only 1.5 hours after the notorious 1st heat crash of Gordon Reid, which fatally injured three spectators and himself, Shanebrook went out again in the 2nd heat, capturing #2 spot after Gene Force. *(4)
Needless to say, Shanebrook was the local favorite of the Midwest farm boys, because this showed anyone with the will, drive, determination, even short of funds, could get on the track and run with the big money sponsored drivers from the west coast.
Later, as previously mentioned, Shanebrook dropped steadily in the point standings. Deferring to his age, he had other drivers run the No. 4 Offy, including such luminaries as Daywalt, Scott, Linden, Russo, and Vaulkner. *(6)
The last documentation found on the Shanebrook Offy competition record was St. Paul, 1959 running as the Baldauf Offy, with Mickey McCormick piloting the car. *(5) It may have run longer.
In 1959 the Chevy-powered cars were beginning to make inroads on the Offys, and the Shanebrook Offy’s competitiveness was probably diminishing by this time.
After watching so many Dayton, Ohio, races in the early ’50’s, you can imagine my elation when I found the car in the late 60’s residing in the Don Edmunds collection 1/2 block from my business here in California. Reportedly, it had been obtained in a trade with Danny Frye, of St. Louis, on one of the new Edmunds sprinters, and after several years and ongoing negotiation, it became mine in the early ’70’s
Line of Ownership:
1. Doc Shanebrook, owner, builder, driver, Gary, Indiana
- Frank Baldauf, (The Baldauf Offy)
- Danny Frye, St. Louis, Missouri
- Don Edmunds, Anaheim, California
- John Adrain, Anaheim, California
The outstanding restoration was completed in less than 8 months of 1988 by Boyd Coddington.

And here it is, 35 years later, at Boyd Coddington’s shop in 1988. Take a look at some of those details pre-restoration – the grille and front bumper, and the “box” in the left side hood by the carburetor openings. Looks like this car survived very well.
.
Boyd’s reputation for high quality work is validated when you see this car in person. The craftsmanship is excellent!
.
Absolutely gorgeous!

Detail of the hood.

.
The Lincoln Greyhound and the “Lincoln V-12” enamel emblem are highlights of this streamline moderne flowing design.

Lovely!

Headlights working
.
Great body lines – and those big doors fit and shut beautifully too!
.
Nice!
.
.
This engine was rebuilt about 15 years ago, at considerable expense. I contacted the former owner who had commissioned that work to confirm it.
.
Note the Holley Carburetor. The original carburetor which requires attention and air cleaner are included. I would say the original wiring harness is due for replacement too.
.
The interior is completely original.
.
Original seats & fabric! Remarkably well preserved.
.
Nice headliner and visors
.
Nice original!
.
Nice interior details
.
Amazing original seats.
.
The doors fit and shut beautifully, an indication of a solid body structure. Some of the original glass has distress, including the driver window, both windshields, the divider window, and the rear window. It still needs a few things, like making the toeboard filler, the speedometer and gas gauge don’t work, and the front end will shake sometimes on the road. So it’s running and driving, but not ready to take on tour yet.
.
Nice hubcaps and emblems
.
This is a V-12 Full Classic with a Judkins custom body!

No question about it, these Chrysler 300’s have a presence! And they were a thoroughly engineered high performance car – Differences from the standard Chrysler ? Let’s allow the Chrysler service manual , page 463 to explain: ” The Chrysler 300B Engine is a modified Chrysler firepower engine. The modifications include twin four barrel carburetors, a new intake manifold, a full race camshaft, and mechanical tappets with the adjustment screws at the push rod end of the rocker arms, inner and outer high load valve springs, and removable exhaust valve seat inserts. Also hardened crankshaft, heavy duty main and rod bearings, special cylinder head covers, air cleaners and silencer housing and distributor and spark plugs” They also had heavier springs front and rear, and higher internal transmission pressure in the Powerflite.
Here’s the “special cylinder head cover” shown with the plug wire cover removed – the bumps between the spark plugs are there to provide clearance for the solid lifter adjusments at the end of the rocker arms.
.
Wow!

The styling of the 1932 KB is the Classic Era at it’s peak!
.
It has been in the classic car hobby since 1950, when it was owned by the founder of the lincoln Continental owner’s club. It had only 5,000 miles then, and only 25,600 miles now, which are thought to be original miles!
.
That aggressive grille with thermostatic shutters!
.
Beautiful dual tail lights and trunk rack
.
Thermostatically operated hood vents! Working properly!
.
that is the actual original interior! Unbelievably nice!
.
Astonishingly nice original! This car has obviously been babied since new.
.
Great shaded sunvisors. And notice how nice the headliner is, original of course.
.
Beautiful steering wheel and instruments. The car has a fitted floormat to protect the original carpeting, as well as custom made seat covers (not shown in the photos) to use when touring or driving. Having a preservation class car means taking extra measures like this to keep the originality intact.
.
One of the great dashboards of all time!

A monster engine requires a monster carburetor – in this case, a Stromberg downdraft DD3.

There’s a good look at the Eaton Supercharger! When the truck is driven normally, it’s pretty quiet, but when you floor the throttle, it just howls! These trucks did 13.80 quarter miles when they were new!
.
The supercharger has a liquid media intercooler. That keeps the intake charge nice and cool, the incoming air/fuel mixture cool and dense, the better to make MORE POWER! It’s a very sophisticated setup, harking back to the intercooling discoveries of the early supercharger designers like Harry Miller and the Duesenberg brothers.

Nice and clean, from a dry, California desert environment. This engine was rebuilt recently, at a cost of over $7,000 with receipts to prove it.

Clean inner hood.
.
there’s the smog-legal sticker for the K&N air cleaner. This truck passed smog with no problems.
.
these tires have very few miles, and were built “4615” which means week 46 of the year 2015. So the tires are still good, and current.
.
A great looking Original and high-performance truck – easy to drive, yet scary fast!

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.

This 1970 Porsche 911E Targa is a wonderful car – one that has been lovingly cared for its entire life by one devoted owner, who kept it in excellent condition, kept it to only 83,000 miles, kept it out of accidents and out of the body shop, kept it serviced at only qualified dealers and Porsche specialist repair shops, and kept it away from rust! It’s so nice that it looks like a 2 year old car, not a 51 year old car, and it would astonish and delight the judges in any Concours d’Elegance preservation class!
.
Yes. The actual original paint.

Yes. The actual original interior.

Yes. The actual original engine. Which has been maintained by Porsche dealers and specialists since it was new!
.
The Original owner bought this car new as an Arizona College student – for $10,312.63 from Ted McWilliams Porsche Audi in Monroeville, Pennsylvania (near Pittsburgh, PA. ) His family lived in Pennsylvania, so on a trip home his senior year he stepped up with an inheritance and bought the Porsche. After his home visit he drove it back to Arizona for his final year at school.
.
The original sales contract
.
That guy on the upper left, Irvin L. Bachmann II signed the contract for Ted McWilliams Porshe-Audi.
.
The flyer for Ted McWilliams Porsche-Audi is great – and includes a full page of explanation of the new to the US brand of Audi.
.
Perfect stance, and original Fuchs forged aluminum wheels.
.
It’s beautiful in Burgundy, color code 2410, which we’ll see later on the door pillar.
.
Nice and straight, and excellent panel fit.
.
Gorgeous
.
The Targa top is a great feature – you really get the convertible sensation, without the wind backlash from a fully open car.
.
Lovely!
.
Brushed stainless Targa band and gold trim Targa script! Bling!
.
The Porsche Burgundy is a subtle color, it really comes alive in the bright sunlight.
.
Beautiful!
.
The door pillar VIN sticker, required by the US in 1970.
.
The interior is spectacular, and original!
.
Note the factory Air conditioning controller below the dash to the right. It makes cold air right now!
.
Perfect rear compartment.
.
And with the seats folded down for package shelf.
.
The seat foam was replaced a few years ago because of the Arizona heat. Of course, the seat material itself is the original. This is the essence of preservation – keep the car in beautiful and operational condition, and tread lightly on repairs, with maximum attention to originality. The driver’s side front carpet shows some wear.
.
Excellent original doorpanels
.
The targa top was redone , due to age. It looks and operates perfectly now.
.
Excellent seat backs, shown here in the forward position.
.
Here’s that Burgundy paint code 2410 we mentioned earlier
.
The 2.2 liter Porsche “E” engine – the “E” is for Einspritzen, or Fuel Injection. Also note the A/C compressor. This car was originally equipped with Air Conditioning, and it’s fully operational and nice and cold. The original compressor is included with the sale, in case the new owner wants to have it rebuilt for authenticity.
.
Well cared for over the years, with receipts to prove it.
.
A thorough history of the maintenance work.
.
The 83k miles are correct, and the work receipts back it up. There were a couple of times the speedometer quit working and had to be repaired as shown in the receipts, but the owner said each time he had it fixed right away, and the variance is no more than 150 miles total.
.
Nice!
.
Beautiful rust free pan
.
Solid suspension points, just as an Arizona car should have!
.
Perfect.
.
No signs of collision damage – because there have been no collisions!
.
Excellent

The engine and trans-axle. I noticed an oil leak onto the driver side exhaust.
.
The Hydro-Pneumatic suspension, standard on the “E” was shelved in favor of the standard shock tower shown here.
.
Nice clean luggage compartment
.
Fuchs spare
.
Undamaged original sheetmetal – this is where you look to see if there’s been front end damage, and this one is perfect, un-hit and undamaged. looks like some super light surface rust in the bottom of the tire well.
.
Nice original tool kit
.
original glass, in excellent condition. The outline of the original “2.2” window sticker is still there! This sticker was mentioned in Zimmerman’s book “The used 911 Story”.
.
The artwork was the same as the owner’s manual.
.
Beautiful!
.
Excellent lenses. Note some rock chips on the bumper and fender.
.
these rock chips show why some Porsche owners bought front bras for their cars. I say they are a badge of honor, showing the car was driven!
.
Excellent lens.
.
A little dimple in the driver quarter panel.
.
driving it with the Targa top off is superb!
.
Tremendous! It should be noted that the license plate will stay with the former owner, it’s a sentimental thing.
.
The Michelin XWX’s are near new, purchased in 2016 and with less than 2,000 miles travelled since installation.
.
The lights work of course.
.
Great from any angle!
This 1931 LaSalle Touring has been beautifully restored by its owner of more than 63 years! The owner is a professional restorer with too many awards and trophies to count in his career ! And he bought it in 1956, and has been its faithful – and talented – caretaker ever since.
This car was shown at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and it made the 70 mile tour d’Elegance with flying colors!
.
Here it is rolling on the field at Pebble Beach on August 16, 2015, looking great!

And here it is today, in colors that match the build sheet and wood wheels professionally restored to “Natural” finish just like the build sheet ! Most of the recent restoration work was done in the 2013-2015 timeframe, so it presents a very fresh appearance, and it runs and drives like it did when it was new! I very much enjoyed the driving experience, with good power, good hill climbing performance, excellent brakes and a silky smooth synchro-mesh transmission.
.
Its a sporty car – yet it has room for 7 passengers when the jump seats are activated
.
The top and bows are lovely, finished in Haartz stay-fast cloth with subtle green flecks – a beautiful fabric that is authentic, and documented in an article in “The Classic Car” magazine by one of the Haartz family members.
.
Classic Car Club of America First Place Winner in National Competition. 99.25 points at the 2015 CCCA Grand Classic in Forest Grove, Oregon.
.
AACA First Place winner, National Competition, 2015. These awards attest to the high quality of this restoration.

Beautiful!

This car was sold new by the Hall Cadillac Co in Denver, CA. It was bought by a Mr. Menefee, who ran the livery service at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, based on the recollection of his son, CCCA Member Ray Menefee when he saw this car in 1978.
.
The 345 cubic inch engine, the original one for this car as we can see on the build sheet, was rebuilt and runs exactly as it should – quiet, powerful, and smooth.
.
It has an updraft carburetor with air cleaner. Note the nicely porcelainized exhaust manifolds.
.
Clean, correct and tidy. Note the proper hose clamps, and fan belt with no lettering – things that matter in CCCA judging.
.
Style 4657 refers to the job number on the right side of the build sheet. Body number 3 shows up there also.
.
The interior has been redone as original per the build sheet, in black leather. It’s fresh, soft and comfortable, and stitched correctly.
.
Plenty of legroom in 5 passenger mode
.
Or bring some more friends in 7 passenger mode with the jump seats.
.
Here are the jumpseats when stowed
.
Lovely dashboard and steering wheel
.
Beautifully made top bows

This was Packard’s top of the line, most expensive car available in 1940. It had the most powerful engine, the 356 Cubic inch straight 8, factory overdrive, and luxurious wool broadcloth rear compartment with leather up front for the driver. It’s equipped with Divider Window, Jump seats, radio, heater, Overdrive, sidemounts, bumperguards, Cormorant mascot, and inner wheel beauty rings.

This car was sold new in Boston, Massachusetts. It made its way to California by the 1960’s, when well known Packard Collector Duncan Langton bought it. In 1972 he sold it to the next owner, who sold it to us just recently. He had used it for club tours and events, but it went into garage storage in 1989,
.
It’s always a great moment when a big classic is freed from storage! It was stored inside, on jackstands, and those tires ( which look like they don’t have many miles on them, thick tread ) pumped up and held air!
.
Although it’s a full size car, on the 148″ wheelbase, it’s only about 19 feet long, so if you have a normal sized 20 foot garage, it will fit!
.
The paint is shiny, but it’s older and has a fair number of scratches and flaws.
.
The Black license plates are included. It might be possible for the new owner to get them re-assigned to the car based on the old registration slips that come with the car. Of course it has a clean California title.
.
The cloisonne emblem, the hubcap, the inner trim ring, and the outer trim ring all show here.
.
More cloisonne – which is a red ceramic on top of a chrome emblem. The chrome on this car is all there but it’s likely all original and mostly very dull, with some pitting also.
.
The right front fender has some problems & damage at the edge.
.
Its up, running, and alive, and a worthy candidate for restoration.
.
This is the actual original interior! Still in pretty decent shape, with the front portion of the lambs wool carpet still intact.
.
Overall still pretty good, but note the upper part of the rear seat upholstery has some tears.
.
here’s a good view of the lambswool carpet.
.
And the jumpseats and lap robe sash.
.
Original doorpanel materials.
.
Here’s a good view of the all plastic 180 dashboard, the radio speaker and heater. The plastic is the original, and has significant warping.
.
The leather front seat might be original, and you can see some age and cracking to the leather.
.
The driver’s view. The instruments work , as do the headlights, tail and brakelights.
.
Here’s the mighty 356. After an oil change and filter, fresh gas, new fuel pump diaphragm, and some carburetor work, we have an engine that starts right up, runs quietly with no lifter noise. I bought the complete Kanter brake kit – Master, wheel cylinders, hoses, springs and shoes – and had it professionally installed. So now it has brakes, too!
.
All stock and original. The wiring is the original cloth backed stuff.
.
Here’s a look at the firewall, which is painted Inverness Green – which was the original color of this car!
.
The original data plate, mounted to the cowl, shows the prefix 1350, which is the code for a 1940 180 limousine on the 148 inch wheelbase. Looks like it was sold July 11, 1940 in Boston.
.
It’s been fun to liberate this fine old car from long term storage, and wake it up! Now it’s time for the next owner to take it to the next level.
This 1984 Cadillac Eldorado, sold new in California, has had only 2 owners during it’s life, with only 42,200 original miles. The previous owners were very careful to keep this car up nicely, and it gleams in its original color of white with burgundy leather interior! They named it “Winnie”, it was almost like their pet car!

I am amazed at how clean and nice it is ! And I love the chrome accessory grille topper and gold tone emblems.
.
Square headlights were cool in ’84!
.
Clean straight panels and excellent paint
.
A great profile! the Cadillac designers really knew what they were doing.
.
And the piece de resistance – the faux continental kit! I love it! The previous owners had the troublesome bumper fillers replaced with new ones, as well as doing some repainting on the left side.
.
Attractive from any angle!
.
The Sky Top Moonroof is cool, and it works great!
.
The interior is beautiful, with all original leather in excellent condition, a beautiful dash with no cracks, and a lovely steering wheel! It is very comfortable indeed !
.
Excellent original!
.
Excellent switch chrome. The windows, remote mirror and power doorlocks work great, but the power seat mechanism makes noise but doesn’t adjust the seat.
.
Beautiful dashboard
.
Back seat looks like new!
.
Original and comfy!
.
Original books
.
Original delivery Stockton, CA, September 5, 1984
.
Many repair and service receipts from both previous owners are included, and they support the low miles.
.
.
Carfax looks great except they claim a potential mileage rollover, which looks like an in-accurate notation when the car went for smog in 2008 – however, the receipts and the Carfax Summary show the car is, indeed, a 42,000 mile car.
.
When we transfer the title to the buyer, we will definitely show 42,2xx miles as the accurate, original miles.
.
.
Nice trunk with floormat
.
The trunk courtesy lamp and power trunk closer work nicely
.
The 4100 fuel injected V-8 runs great, and passes California smog check with no problem.
.
The A/C isn’t cold now, and the Cruise control is inoperative.
.
Pretty!
.
Beautiful! Although not a perfect car, the right rear hubcap got scraped on a curb at some point. All the other hubcaps are great.
.
.
The combination of low miles and excellent care make this a standout!

And a great Corvette Choice would be the ’59 Corvette Stingray special – it’s amazing how much of this design wound up in the production ’63 Stingray.
.
And the fabulous Buick Y-Job.
The ’53 Cadillac LeMans presaged many of the styling cues seen a year or so later.
The 1951 LeSabre, not given a brand. I guess the 5 GM divisions had to fight it out for brand identity!
The Futurliner in the background, with the ’58 Firebird III. Space- the final frontier! Or at least the era of peak car/missile design! As we all stood on the field, in August of 2008, who would have thought that by November GM would be planning for bankruptcy, and would file by June, 2009. They made it to 100, but just barely!

This 1935 Lincoln LeBaron Coupe is a wonderful custom bodied car, with extremely long provenance – back to the 1970’s in the same family! I remember this car from way back in the Classic Car Club – in fact, I drove it for the owner’s Dad on the entire 1982 Pacific Northwest Car-A-Van !
.
It has recently had significant reconditioning work done, including a rebuilt water pump, new manifold gaskets, fuel pump, carburetor and other items to get it back on the road. The V-12 engine has 414 Cubic inches, 150 Horsepower, and a synchronized 3 speed transmission.
.
The LeBaron Coupe is perhaps the best looking car Lincoln made that year! Only 23 were built! The Lebaron Coupes were built on the 136 inch wheelbase for the proper proportions. The cars that needed a longer wheelbase such as limousines and convertible sedans used the 145 inch chassis.
.
It is finished in a beautiful shade of dark maroon.
.
Note the blade style front bumper .
.
The Lincoln Greyhound mascot and the great Lincoln V12 badge in streamline moderne style – the height of fashion in 1935

This 1969 Buick Wildcat Convertible is a one family owned car, obsessively restored by a long time Buick Club member with all documentation back to new, including the actual original window sticker and sales contract! It is amazingly beautiful, done to a very high standard with many NOS parts used.
.
The car was purchased in Willmette, Illinois, at Foley Buick in 1969. It was garaged, and protected from only 2 Illinois winters, when the family moved to Washington State, and then in 1978 to Southern California, all of this documented by a huge file of receipts and documents. going all the way back to 1971! Luckily the good care and early move to the west coast kept the car rust free, as we’ll see later in the undercarriage photos.

It was completely restored in 1986, with documents showing full engine and transmission rebuild, and many, many, many other items to make that car look and operate like new. It scored 384 of 400 points in Buick Club judging shortly after restoration, and then 385 of 400 points sometime after 1993 according to the Judging sheets included in the file. We’ll see these documents later in the display. And, it’s been consistently and properly maintained ever since, resulting in a car that still looks almost new!
.
And it’s LOADED with options and equipment! It cost a whopping $5,487 when it was new on the showroom at Foley Motor sales! It is equipped with :

Nice matching spare chrome road wheel

385 of 400 points! Although this Buick Club judging form wasn’t dated, the form itself was “Rev 2-93” ( you can see that just below where it says THE JUDGES DECISIONS AS REFLECTED ON THIS FORM ARE FINAL) So this show must have been in 1993 or later.
.

Everything a Classic Car should have! Custom bodywork with beautiful styling, six whitewalls, and a powerful 8 cylinder chassis. I like the angled windshield and landau iron too! When the original owner stepped up for the Custom line that Lincoln offered, he spent more – $5,600 for the Judkins custom body versus $4,500 for the standard 5 passenger sedan. He was paying for the exclusivity and custom features that were more impressive than the regular car! And to put $5,600 in perspective, that was enough to buy a house in 1930
.
This car has been in the owner’s family since the 1950’s, passing from father to son over the years, and always in California since they owned it.
.
.
It’s a very nice older restoration, that has been maintained nicely.
.
This photo shows the subtle sunvisor, as well as the deep Prussian Blue color of the body, accented by black window reveals and fenders. It’s lively in the direct sunlight, and a little darker inside. Perfect for a formal car.
.
The padded top is nicely and correctly done.
.
A trophy winner a while back.
.
CUSTOM BUILT BY J.B. JUDKINS COMAPANY ! This is body style 186A, which is the divider window version. This tag is mounted on the seat frame below the front seat cushion.
.

.

.
Very nice rear compartment. note the single jumpseat, and the crank handle for the divider window.
.
Nice doorpanels
.
Nice headliner, note the courtesy lights are working.
.
There are some moth holes in the wool side panel above the armrest. You can’t see it, but there are a few smaller moth holes on the rear seat.
.
Here’s the original Lincoln V-8, with 384 cubic inches and 90 horsepower! It’s nicely finished and runs great, with excellent oil pressure.
.
Students of Lincoln may know that many years ago, an aftermarket aluminum intake manifold was built to allow a downdraft 2 barrel carburetor for better breathing and to get the carburetor out from below and between the exhaust manifolds. The Lincoln factory had a similar idea the following year, in 1931.
.
A view of the Lincoln starter-generator – which works great both starting and charging the electrical system! And the shaft driven water pump, which looks nice and dry and which keeps the car running nice and cool.
.
The engine is nice and clean, and the engine number matches the chassis number, and fits in the correct range for 1930 Lincoln “L”.
.
This was a Newport Beach, California event from 55 years ago! I like it when the cars have been in hobbyist hands for so long.
.
A great running car!
.
And still beautiful!
.
Impressive, custom built, and unique.
.
Terrific!
.
A great car, with excellent history, and a mellow older restoration.

This 1936 Packard 1401 Coupe-Roadster has been in our family since 1954! That’s when Dad purchased it from a police impound/ tow yard for $50. Yes, that’s right. Fifty Bucks! It ran, but the fuel pump was bad, so he had his friend Karl sit on the fender and pour gas in the carburetor, and drove it home ! Safety First! Mom and Dad used to drive this car in the Northern Illinois region CCCA and Packards of Chicagoland events before we moved to California back in the early 70’s
.
After a beautiful restoration in 2006, it’s a striking and great running car in Packard Cream with Chinese Red accents, right from the Packard color chart! It’s a Full CCCA Classic, welcome at all of their tours and shows, as well as AACA and Packard Clubs.
.
The defining feature of the Coupe-Roadster was the Rumbleseat! it was listed officially by Packard as a 2/4 Passenger car!
.
The proportions are exactly right! Long hood, sidemounts, and sleek roadster body style.
.
Lovely Chrome, Streamlined headlight buckets, and the icing on the cake, the pinstripes that match the wheel color!
.
Beautifully done fresh leather interior. The pattern was taken from the ORIGINAL seat leather, which had been preserved nicely underneath the early 60’s interior. So, this is done EXACTLY to the original pattern. I include the original material with the car, just in case some wise guy wants to argue with the pleat spacing!
.
Beautiful and correct!

Beautiful Steering Wheel and dashboard!

This 1933 Buick Sport Coupe with Rumbleseat, model 56S, is a sporty, good looking, nicely restored car that runs great and looks beautiful!

Wire wheels, sidemounts and luggage rack and BOP radio were all optional features.
.
Pretty from every angle! There’s that optional luggage rack. 1933 was a great year for American automobile styling, they just got it right that year across the industry.
.
The 119 inch wheelbase gave generous proportions for the designers to work with, and they did a great job!
.
5 hood vent doors really make a statement!

The original condition is astonishingly nice! This car has been to a number of concours events in preservation class, including the Palos Verdes Concours and the Benedict Castle concours.
.
Amazingly good, especially considering it’s the actual original paint! After the original owners, who were from Hemet, CA, parted with the Toronado Deluxe in 1984, Mike Comer, a long time Oldsmobile Club member and prolific Oldsmobile collector purchased it. He owned it until his passing in 2014, when the third owner purchased it.
.
Here’s a good look at the 15″ Chrome wheels that were part of the Deluxe package. They also had trim rings.
.
To have been preserved in this condition for this long is nothing short of amazing! It’s a tribute to Mike Comer’s vision when he bought a then 18 year old car, recognized it’s state of originality and high equipment content, and made the effort to keep the car in it’s original state and in excellent operating condition.
.
The Deluxe Steering wheel was part of the Toronado magic, and this one is a tilt-telescope option too! And it’s in spectacularly nice shape, without cracks or faults! It reminds me of the butterfly steering wheels on the Top Fuel dragsters of the same era!
.
Here’s a great view of the original Strato-Bench seat, with folding armrest. in AWESOME original condition. The whole interior is original and beautiful, but the carpet was properly replaced at some point, with the correct loop carpeting. The power seat isn’t working properly.
.
Here is the beautiful doorpanel, note the front and rear doorhandles, and the excellent condition of the door edge, and the working safety lamps at the rear of the door.
.
Beautiful rear seat, with room for 3 people!
.
A good view of the Bi-Phonic Rear Radio speaker. Did Don Draper work for Oldsmobile’s product naming committee?
.
That dashboard is a perfect original. No cracks, looks like new! Also note the A/C and Heater vent – the A/C on this car is nice and cold!
.
The only visibly not original thing on the car is this stereo hidden in a cupholder, as well as a CD changer mounted in the trunk.
.
The Original AM/FM radio works nicely!
.
Excellent original visors, and the “Glareproof” rearview mirror
.
Here’s the original 425 Cubic inch Rocket V8, with 385 Horsepower! A close look shows the AIR injection pipes going into the cylinder heads. That emissions system was for California cars only.
.
Well kept and well maintained.
.
The AC compressor was rebuilt not too long ago, and the AC works great!
.
Another view of the AIR injector pipes and fittings, right next to the spark plugs
.
The paint is original, and has been kept really well, but it isn’t new anymore – there are some areas such as the lower quarter panel that are sort of worn through from road debris. The hood and roof are not as shiny as original, they’re a bit duller than they could be. I look at it as a badge of honor for a well preserved car! I also think the left front fender has been refinished on the vertical portion.
.
Spare, jack, and original trunk matting! The CD changer can be seen to the left.
.
Nice inner trunk lid
.
Here’s the trim tag. SS Paint code is “Champagne Mist”
.
Working hidden headlights are important on Toronados, and these work great! And, all four headlamps are T-3’s, likely the original headlights.
.
A great looking wonderfully preserved and fully equipped front wheel drive first year Toronado!
.
Lost of great factory literature is included too, – how about the Toronado vynil record with the psychadelic jacket!

1934 Ford Phaeton. Flathead V-8, all stock, beautifully restored! SOLD – OFF TO FRESNO
This 1953 Packard Caribbean was totally professionally restored, with photo and receipt documentation, and it won many national trophies! It’s absolutely beautiful in Packard Maroon. The Packard Caribbean was the glamor car in 1953, with styling taken from the Packard Pan American special. Only 750 were built.
.
The Caribbean came standard with chrome wire wheels, hoodscoop, chrome fender openngs and chrome tailfins! It had the top of the line 327 straight 8, with five main bearings and a 4 barrel carburetor for full power! Packard’s Ultramatic automatic transmission with lockup converter put the power to the ground and Easamatic power brakes make for an effortless driving experience, and hydraulic power windows, seat and top are delightful power accessories.
.
Brilliant Chrome and the hoodscoop!
.
Spectacular! note the reflections in the paint, a very high quality paint job.
.
This car won these trophies !
.
that is one beautiful car!
.
Another standard feature of the Caribbean is the Rear spare continental kit, which folds down at the press of a button to allow the trunk to open.
.
Another view of the super straight bodywork!
.
I love those chrome tailfins!
.
Here it is with the top down! The entire hydraulic system is new, all of the cylinders – top, windows, and seat – are brand new, and use Dexron transmission fluid.
.
The tires are brand new American Classic whitewall radials with new tubes
.
the interior is all leather, freshly redone along with the carpeting
.
Steering wheel and dashboard look like new!
.
Wow! Like being inside the Packard Dealer’s showroom in 1953!
.
.
There’s the 327 Straight 8 with 4 barrel Carburetor and 9 main bearings. Very nicely detailed with proper colors and finishes. The engine number is L415941, correct for ’53 Caribbeans according to the definitive work on Packard, Beverly Rae Kimes “Packard – A history of the motorcar and the company”.
.
Note the cad plated correct bolts on the forward air shroud.
.
Beatiful and correct !
.
Beautifully finished top bows, and the top is brand new.
.
The horn emblem is lovely
.
Beautiful emblem on the quarter panel !
.
Excellent plating !
.
Excellent trunk and spare.

Nicely finished inner trunk lid
.
Here it is underneath – still pretty clean even after some touring.
.
Excellent floorpans and rocker panels
.
These photos show the car under restoration, on the rotisserie rack, before and after painting the floor of the car.
.
Lots and lots of receipt copies, mostly from the mid to late 1990’s that document the comprehensive, frame-off no expense spared nature of this restoration.
.
The engine was rebuilt in 2003.
.
.
This is a great car – a show winner that has had consistent maintenance and upgrades to keep it fresh looking and running great!
.
I have to admit an emotional connection to this car – my folks had a different Maroon ’53 Caribbean as their everyday driver back in the 1960’s, and it took us on many family trips and vacations, as well as the epic journey from Chicago to New Orleans to pick up a ’30 Packard 745 Victoria. But, as Dad said once – “you can’t keep ’em all son!” It’s been fun to have it in the showroom and drive it a bit, and it’s time for a new owner to keep the Caribbean flame!

The former owner purchased this car in ’74. We can see on this registration from the earlier owner, Pete Parker, that this car had this license plate, FSK 815, back then. The other old registration is from 1960, with the pre-1963 license plate. The story is that Pete Parker was the original owner, but I don’t have paperwork that far back to prove it.

Some teeny bubbles on the rocker left side

there are a few blemishes or touch-ups in the paint, notably this section where a fenderskirt might have been
.
And an area on the door below the vent window, looks like maybe rubbed through. It’s a nice, older paint job with a few flaws. Looks shiny but if you had it judged it would miss a couple of points for paint.
.
A great looking, great running car!
.
Nice!
.
I really like this car and I think if you buy it you will too!

How many of one type of car have you had? Can it be that obsession is a good thing? How did things get so far out of control? I can stop anytime I want to, right? Some questions are philosophical. All I can tell you is from a young age, I got hooked on 2 seater AMX’s, and it took 30 years and 59 cars before I finally let the last one go down the road, leaving me with some fun photos and a ton of leftover parts! But, you know, maybe car # 60 is out there somewhere ! What if I need those parts one last time?
.
There’s Mom and I in 1975, with a ’68 AMX 390. Too young to drive yet! Dang!
.
These 2 cars were Dad’s, back in ’75 and ’77 . He went through about 8 of them around then, buying them locally for $700 to $1,000 each, and turning them over for $1,200 to $1,500. Think about it, that was a 6 year old car at the time! As an impressionable kid, I thought they were great – lots of tire smoking horsepower, and great styling!
.
There I am in 1980, with AMX # 1 – a beautiful ’69 390 Big Bad Orange with original leather interior, original paint, A/C, and working factory AM/8 track player for all those Zeppelin 8 tracks! This car sat on a local dirt lot with a for sale sign, and I ponied up $1,550 hard earned dollars to buy it. But, sadly, it had to be sold during my senior year of High School, when a series of accidents in other cars caused my need for cash to exceed the love of the car! Maybe that’s where the obsession started, the need to replace the car that had to be sold?
.
How did we find ’em back in the pre-internet days? The RECYCLER ! Sellers could place a free ad, and they were printed every week, with various editions – San Fernando, OC, Mid-Cities, and San Diego – but in the beginning it was just the L. A. edition, and you had to DRIVE TO L.A. to buy ’em at a convenience store! And then find a pay phone and bring quarters to call the owners! Later they had an Orange County office, and you could buy all of the editions at 7 AM on Thursdays, and call on all those super bargains.
.
AMX # 2, this ’69 390 / AC / Automatic car came from the Recycler in ’85, a nice black plate car that cleaned up nicely, and would fry the tires on command !
.
The big used car advertising revolution of the early 80’s was the AUTO TRADER! This is my ad from ’85. It was widely distributed in California, and it was amazing to get phone calls from as far away as Bakersfield! Wow! And, unlike the Recycler, there was a PICTURE! The basic idea remained the same – buy a collectible car locally, and sell it to a wider audience.
.
There’s Car # 2 in front of the Fraternity house at College. We viewed the epic film “Animal House” as not merely cinema, but a sort of blueprint, a guide for living! And if Mr. Blutarsky could park his car in front of Delta house, I could certainly put my fine 390 AMX in front of our manor!
In June of ’85, I sold the car to Colorado, and since I was just out of school and with a month off until my job started, I offered to deliver it to the buyer for expenses. The Navajo Nation Police in Arizona were none too amused with my speeding on the way to get that car to the new owner!
.
Car # 3, a ’68 390 Automatic arrived in ‘ 88 as a shabby blue car that needed a bunch of work. Girlfriend at the time wouldn’t ride in it because it was not sharp enough. With that kind of attitude she got replaced! I got it all cleaned up, with parts from Doug at American Parts Depot, and drove it as an everyday car for a few years.
.
Here’s car # 3 in about 1990, on the way to Las Vegas to be traded for an ’87 Mustang GT convertible. The prices were on the way up in the late 80’s.
.
Car # 4 appeared at a Rick Cole auction in Newport Beach, CA, around 1991. A 1970 390 4 speed with Air, with original Lime Gold paint! $4,800 was paid to Rick Cole, in those wonderful auction days before they discovered the buyer fee! Another car used as a daily driver, sold it in 1994.
.
Car #5, a ’69 390 auto, in Regatta Blue, with Platinum interior, a combination I liked very much, and a beautiful car. This was taken at the Riverside AMC club meet at Fairmont park in Riverside, early 90’s.
.
Here it is, 1990, and we’re breaking the $10k mark for a nice example! The Blue/Silver car wound up going to Illinois in ’93 – I drove it there, and then rented a car and continued on to Hershey, PA for the big AACA swap meet.
.
There it is on the road to Illinois – shown here in New Mexico on the original route 66. I-40 is off to the right in the photo.
.
.
Car # 6, a Big Bad Orange 390 Automatic with Leather seats and AC. at the Kruse Scottsdale auction ’95, next to a fabulous Tiffany or something. I stood there and bid it to $6,200 , paid them and drove it 350 miles home. Now, this was as close as I was going to get to the high school forced sale car, and maybe I should have just declared victory and stopped here. Nope. the obsession kicked in, leading me to…………….
.
the middle of the desert, to buy car #7! Recycler, curse you! I began a new phase of AMX ownership, called “There’s no such thing as a bad AMX”. The catch here was – it had to be a solid, rust free, or very nearly rust free California car. Almost every car I had wound up going to the mid-west or east coast, and the buyers would marvel at how solid the cars were.
.
Car # 8 was a ’70 Shadowmask 390 Automatic, which I got at the Pomona swap meet sometime in the 90’s. You have to be open minded sometimes, and I was willing to overlook the non-factory extra gas tank – quick release filler visible in the photo below the quarter window – to get an otherwise desirable car! The former owner liked to go to Las Vegas, and didn’t like stopping for gas in Barstow, so he added another tank in the rear floor area. I removed this safe and sane accessory before the car left me!
.
In the movie “Casino” Ace Rothstein says ” Whadaya think we’re doin’ out here in the middle of the desert, anyway? It’s all this cash!” Ok, I guess in my case it’s all those AMX’s! At this point I’ve lost track of the car count, this one came from just north of Edwards Air Force Base, and I had the idea I could make it run and drive it home. I did get it to run, but the radiator was full of desert sand, and it wouldn’t run for long without overheating, so back it came on the flatbed.
.
Another Pomona Find, a beautiful 70 390 4 speed. That was a nice one!
.
This was a ’68 390 Automatic, with sidepipes! This car and the black ’70 above it came from the same people at Pomona – a dad and son, – the son had done something dumb and dad was making him sell both of the cars! Although I could sympathize, it didn’t stop me from buying them both!
.
This ’68 390 4 speed in Hialeah yellow came from – you guessed it – the Recycler, up in the Valley. It came with the ownership card, it turned out the promoter of the original Long Beach Grand Prix bought this car new! So when I got it restored, I called him up to see if he wanted it back, but no dice! He told me his ex wife got the car when they split, so it wasn’t a good reminder for him!
.
Big bad Green 390 Car, – rough, but you just can’t pass up a BBG. By this time, late 1990’s, the Recycler was trying to adjust to the internet, and they offered a deal where you could pay a few bucks a week, and they would email you ads tied to your keywords – but the fantastic part was they sent these emails AS THE ADS CAME IN – before the print ads came out on Thursday!! That was like fishing with dynamite! I could be the first – and usually the only – caller on the AMX’s. I had to be fast, because there were a couple of other guys up in the San Fernando valley who would go after AMX’s too. I think they probably had more of ’em than I ever did. Same with Eddie Stakes in Houston, I’m sure his car count was way higher than mine – his dad was an actual AMC dealer, as I understand it.
.
This Bittersweet Orange ’69 4 speed now lives on in Big Bad Blue not too far away.
.
Here’s a Big Bad Green 390 Auto on the way home from Victorville. This car came from walking the show field at a route 66 cruise show in San Bernardino.
.
Tire Smoke! Smells like Victory! This one came from the Valley, and I had to take the roll cage out of it, and rebuild the engine in order to get this picture!
.
by the 2000’s, I was doing the car business full time, and ran an awful lot of AMX’s through. The Petersen museum contacted me for their Musclecar exhibit, and wanted an AMX. I was in the process of working on this car, so had to get it done for the exhibit. The paint was still drying as I rolled it onto their nice polished floor!
.
Here’s the lineup at the old Vault Classic Cars location – 3 1970’s and a ’69.
.
This 360 automatic came along in around 2009, from Craigslist. It was filled with NOS 1970 trim parts! Craigslist had strangled the Recycler, and it made it at once easier to find the cars – just get on the computer – and harder, because now a car like this would pop up and the owners would start getting phone calls from all over the place! This one had 2 different people selling it on Craigslist, which made me a bit concerned, but I went there, looked at it and paid for it in person, and had it hauled home right then and there. Sometimes you have to put your boots on the ground to take the territory!
.
this was a ’69 343 Car – I had sniffed it out before, but it was rough and had the smaller motor so I didn’t initially pursue it. Then, much later, it wound up in a blog or post or something written by David Freiburger of Hot Rod Magazine, about how this great musclecar was languishing at a component repair place! So of course I had to go there and just buy it, you can see the price on the windows. I recall actually getting it to run once it got back to the shop.
.
This Frost white 390 4 speed turned out nice, it arrived from Lakewood, CA dead, and I pulled my usual Dr. Frankenstein and made it live! It’s alive! Along with painting it and generally restoring it. As you can see from the background car, a 1909 Cadillac, I was starting to branch out and handle other cars.
.
This 68 390 4 speed came in from North Hollywood, running but running poorly. I thought it needed carburetor work, so to save time I took the top off the Carter carburetor while on the car. The time savings evaporated when the float bowl needle dropped into the intake manifold and into the engine! It ran great after I pulled the cylinder head and found the missing carburetor needle!
.
This Black ’68 390 4 speed was the last car out the door – it came from one of my valley competitors in partially finished form, and it took more work than I really wanted to do to get it this nice. It really set up nice with the red stripe! By this time, around 2010, the supply of AMX’s had sort of dried up, I think between me and the other guys we had pulled out most of the un-discovered gems and sent them off to new homes far away. And I was spending more and more time on older Classics. When I first started on AMX’s, in 1980, the peak of the smog era, they were faster than any new car you could buy, and cheap enough that a high school or college kid could buy them. By 2010, technology had given us new cars that were extremely fast – Corvette, Cadillac CTS-V, and all the foreign stuff like Porsche and BMW M series, which made it a challenge to win those stoplight drag races!
This 1940 Lincoln Zephyr convertible is extremely rare, with only 700 built new! This car has its original 292 cubic inch V-12, with 3 speed on the column transmission and 2 speed axle.
.
That’s a good looking car, with a very attractive color combination.
.
The ’40 styling has the illusion of a yacht pushing aside the waves – It’s very pretty and graceful
.
The interior is freshly redone in red leather.
.
The front chrome bumper is great – I love the delicate opening in the center that allows the air to reach the grille! Also note the AACA first place badge, which was awarded a while back.

.
A beautiful, stylish and rare multi-cylinder car!
This 1930 Pierce-Arrow Model A Seven Passenger Sedan is beautifully restored! The engine was rebuilt by the Pierce-Arrow guru Eric Rosenau, a master craftsman and Pierce-Arrow specialist. The Model “A” was Pierce-Arrow’s biggest and most powerful car in 1930, with 385 cubic inches ( 3.5″ bore by 5 ” stroke) to achieve a whopping 132 factory horsepower! The wheelbase was 144 inches hub to hub, which gave plenty of space for a long hood and a spacious interior.
.
The traditional Pierce-Arrow fender mounted headlamps, the sweeping fenderline, the sidemounts and wire wheels, and generous proportions all combine to make this a beautiful and elegant classic. The restoration quality is very high, resulting in a Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) national first place trophy.
.
Note the Stoneshield for the radiator, another great accessory. The Pierce-Arrow Archer is also included!
.
the Pierce-Arrow Archer!
.
The 2 shades of blue-grey are authentic, tasteful, and pleasing.
The trunk is a pretty and useful feature for touring.
.
The top of the line Pierce-Arrow for 1930. The 385 engine was introduced that year.
.
The interior is gorgeous! It looks like new inside!
.
Spectacular!
.
Beautiful dash and guages, they look like new. Note how the speedometer and clock bezel are done in the shape of the Pierce-Arrow radiator shell.
.
Here’s one of the two jumpseats, and the lovely rear compartment. I have to give high marks to the upholstery trimmer, they did a wonderful job on this interior.
.

A beautiful and powerful Classic Car!
This 1947 Packard Custom Super 8, model 2106, is an excellent, authentic, and tour-ready car!
.
A spectacular car, in the correct, original colors of Coral Blue and Vanderbilt Grey. Note the cormorant mascot, the foglamps, and front bumperguard
.
The Custom Super 8 was the top of the Line, with 356 Cubic inch straight 8 – good for over 100 MPH when new, and more than enough to propel the car at freeway / interstate speeds today. It has factory overdrive, a key feature that allows sustained high speed operation. The Custom super 8 included luxurious interior features including individually wrapped seat springs, chrome steering column and parking brake handle, and front to back headliner seams and cloisonne enamel hubcap emblems in Packard’s signature hexagon style. Radio and combination dash/underseat heater were standard. Additional accessories on this car include the Cormorant mascot , roof mounted antenna, goddess of speed hood ornament, front and rear bumperguards, and fog lamps.
.
I love the foglamps, they work, too!
.
When I had it painted, I worked with the paint shop to get the colors exactly right – the correct tone and shade, as well as the correct amount of metallic. The 1940’s paint colors had much less metallic than they do today, so we had to reduce the amount of metallic to make it match the factory color chip exactly.
.
The fenderskirts are the icing on the styling cake! The gas flap of course leads to the gas filler, which on these cars has a combination vent / whistle indicator. When you’re filling the tank, it makes a slight whistle until it’s full, so you know when to stop without overflowing. Packard was always thinking about how to make things better.
.
That Yosemite sticker was applied to this car at Yosemite! It has been a fun, reliable tour car for us on the 2007 Arizona , 2008 Montana, 2009 California/Nevada, 2010 Pacific Northwest, 2011 New Mexico, and 2013 Rediscover America Caravan. We drove it to and from each caravan, and always made it there and back with flying colors! A program of constant maintenance and improvements made this reliability possible. Before each Caravan, I would go through the car and identify things that needed maintenance, and then get that work done before the tour. Over the years we’ve put in new correct wiring, radiator, and of course regular oil changes. It has both mechanical and electric fuel pumps, and a hidden pusher radiator fan for super hot days. We’ve driven this car over 10,000 foot mountain passes and across the burning desert, and always made it ! Most recently, the transmission and overdrive were completely rebuilt, and a new clutch and pressure plate installed, along with brand new American Classic whitewall Radials.
.
Here it is in Arizona in 2007
.
there we are in Montana in 2008.
.
A great car – got us there and back every time!
.
At the famous Wigwam hotel in Holbrook, Arizona. Buy this car and make your own vacation memories!

.
.
Back to the present – This view shows off the paint, and the brand new radial whitewalls, and new Hirsch Cloisonne hubcap emblems.
.
the seats are done in the correct pattern, with blue cloth and white textured piping, just like original. The fabric is a modern fabric but very difficult to tell from wool. The carpeting was done in wool cut pile, bonded to a heavy rubber backing, just like the original Moss-Tred carpeting.
.
I had the steering wheel re-cast with matching gearshift knob, They’re absolutely beautiful.
.
The dashboard chrome is excellent. All of the guages work. the speedometer was rebuilt, and works like it should. Lights, horn, turn signals and wipers ( note – factory electric wipers ) all work properly. However, the radio and clock aren’t working.
.
In this view you can see the working dash / defroster heater unit. the underseat heater is not visible but it’s there.
.
The woodgraining on the window surrounds is the original, and shows some age. The dash was redone before I got the car, and shows a couple hairline cracks on the upper surface.
.
Courtesy lights work great!
.
Nicely trimmed trunk. the trunk floor is solid and rust free, but it was replaced with new sheetmetal at some point. The rest of the car is nice and solid.
.
What a great looking car!

Sparkling.

Spectacular
.
The Goddess of Speed!

This 1941 Packard 120 Convertible Coupe has been in Southern California since at least 1955. It’s full of equipment, including 288 cubic inch straight 8 engine, 3 speed transmission with overdrive, radio, heater, factory inner and outer beauty rings, bumper guards and the glass-winged Goddess of speed hood ornament! I also note what’s left of the electromatic clutch system. It’s complete, and ready to restore, but it doesn’t run. Or maybe, dare I even say it, resto-mod it?
.
The Packard 120 was a tremendous value when it was new – all that Packard quality at a very reasonable price!
.
Here it is in 1955 California, with the same engine that’s in it now, D314825 !
.
Can you imagine this car all finished?
.
One day a few years ago, Dad and I were out hunting for cars to buy – and the ’41 Packard 120 showed up on the interweb radar. It really grabbed him because it was just like the second car he ever bought, shown in this photo. That car replaced the supercharged Graham sharknose that dissolved it’s cylinder head back sometime in 1948. Surely that first ’41 Packard is long gone, but here was something that sparked the good memory of Packard driving back when Packard was still in business! So we bought it and brought it back to the shop.
.
Unfortunately, Dad’s gone now, and I think it’s time for a new owner to bring this car to the next stage.
.
The glass is good, the windows roll up and down.
.
A good solid place to start
.
These plates were in the trunk – look at the 1977 Sticker! It’s registered to modern plates now, with the engine number – the same one as on that 1955 registration slip – as the VIN number.
.
that’s the original firewall tag, and the 1499 prefix tells us this is a genuine 120 Convertible coupe – or as the factory had it, the “Coupe-Convertible, 2 – 4 Passengers”
.
.
Dashboard intact, plastic is pretty good.
.
Rear seat. Yes, it will need to be restored. Or, you know, make it run and cruise it as a barn find!
.
The top mechanism is all there, and the header latch works too.
.
Here it is with the combination top / sunroof up ! 🙂
.
All there and ready to restore!
.
Glass winged Goddess of Speed mascot
.
So there’s the 8 cylinder engine – zero compression when it came in, now between zero and 45 PSI after the in-car valve job. Still not enough to make it run. It’s either rebuild it, or LS-6 it!
.
Driver’s side of the engine bay.
.
the floors, frame, and under the trunk are nice and solid, original sheetmetal.
.
Even though it’s a California car, it looks like it got rained on and had some rust where the water collected
.
Needs a bit of sheetmetal repair – I’m just not the guy for it!
.
The key works in the ignition.
.
Here’s the radio.
.
And the Packard Heater.
.
It’s always 5 minutes after 3, 1941
.
Great lines, and a great start on a fun car
.
Here’s a good view of the inner beauty rings – they run right up to the hubcap, and have the same 4 ridge contours as the hubcap. the missing rear fender strip is included, it’s just a little tweaked.
.
And in this final view, we get a good look at the triple bar bumper guard. Call us at 714-401-1047 Pacific daylight business hours if you have questions!

Beautiful in its factory shade of light green! A perfect 1950’s color, chosen by the Continental division to highlight the beautiful lines of this car. Lincoln put a huge amount of effort into these cars, giving them their own division – the Continental division – and pricing them at $10,000 when new, the same as a contemporary Rolls Royce. Or 5 Ford Customlines, whichever you prefer!

That’s a great looking car from any angle. The paint is excellent, a very high quality paint job that included new door and trunk weatherstripping, and very straight panels and bodywork. And rust free too !
.
Look how straight it is, and the reflections in the paint. Wow!
.
Excellent original chrome. This car was stored indoors and it shows in the condition.
.
The former owners cared enough to put California Historic plates on this Eldorado
.
More beautiful original chrome! And brilliant tail light lenses and reflectors!
.
Tremendous!
.
That’s the original vinyl padded top, in excellent condition! Note the double stitching on the seam.
.
That’s the original leather and carpet, in amazingly good condition!
.
The carpet was protected by a door-to-door Cadillac Floormat, so the floormat took the beating instead of the carpeting. And, the now weathered floormat is included at no additional charge!
.
Here’s the doorpanel – it’s really sharp, but note there is some discoloration on the top edge. Also note how nice the doorpanel was painted, and how the weatherstripping is fresh looking.
.
Nice!
.
A close up of the doorpanel woodgraining, and the excellent interior chrome. Note the power doorlock switch, and the power door locks do work!
.
The entire dashboard is beautiful, with excellent color and no cracks! That’s an AM/FM radio, but it doesn’t send out Led Zeppelin’s 1975 Album “Physical Graffiti” anymore.
.
Excellent right side doorpanel, and also note the clean doorjambs and working courtesy lights
.
Excellent original leather in back too
.
Spectacular!
.
It’s amazingly comfortable to drive it – it’s very quiet, it makes the bumps in the road vanish, and the seats are super, super comfy!
.
500 glorious cubic inches to propel you down the road! It runs great too. When it came in it needed new CV’s and front axles, and a master cylinder, so these items have just been professionally installed.
.
And let’s not forget the front wheels propel the car, it’s a front wheel drive. The transmission is great, and it drives beautifully. The AC isn’t cold, though.
.
Makes great power! When you step on the gas it really moves, and if you really floor it there’s a warning light on the dash to advise you that you’re using too much gas! Isn’t using too much gas part of the whole idea of Cadillac Eldorado operation !
.
Beautiful reflections in the hood.
.
Clean trunk, with original Cadillac floormat, jack and spare.
.
Nice trunk
.
And clean inner trunklid
.

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.

The grille teeth are great!
.
And there he is, the namesake of the Marque, Hernando De Soto, as shown on the hood ornament!
.
And the DeSoto coat of arms, as interpreted by the Chrysler Corporation.
.
The paint is older, same with the chrome – this car looks like it was done in the 1970’s. It’s a good, solid car, but it would need to have some freshening in a variety of areas to be show or tour ready. We just did the entire brake hydraulic system – master cylinder, hoses, and wheel cylinders and turned the drums so it can be driven. The engine runs great, and the fluid drive transmission works, but sometimes hesitates to go into 3’d high range.
.
The seats are nicely done in vynil and cloth.
.
Here’s the back seat and top boot.
.
The dashboard is in good shape. The carpeting is worn , and needs to be replaced.
.
Decent looking doorpanels. The handle escutcheon plastic is deteriorated.
.
Another view of the dash
.
The oil pressure and temp gauges work. Gas guage, fuel gauge and speedometer do not.
.
That’s a cool looking radio control, but it’s not making any noise.
.
Driver’s doorpanel
.
The mighty 237 Cubic inch, 120 horsepower 6 cylinder engine! The engine runs really well – smooth, quiet, great oil pressure. Starts right away every time. I like it!
Big original oil bath air cleaner.
.
Radiator and horns
.
All original and solid sheetmetal underneath. I could not find any signs of patching or rust repair, it looks really good underneath.
.
Nice and crisp sheetmetal, this is the lower right side rear fender edge. Photo taken while the wheels were off for new brake hydraulics.
.
Here’s the right front inner fender – again, nice and sharp.
.
Engine and transmission. reasonably clean, looks pretty dry.
.
Here it is with the top up.
.
The top is older, – useable as-is, but replace it if you want it to be sharper
.
Some wear spots showing on the top.
.
Trunk, with spare, jack base, top boot, car cover bag and horn ring that requires restoration.
.
Peel that carpet back, and it’s really nice and solid in there! This car has a huge advantage in that it’s obviously been in a dry climate, and is nice and solid.
.
I like a rust free car!
.
Nice inner trunk lid
.
A great looking and rare car
.
A great tribute to the 1950’s!
