Well, a little something for everyone. Finally have the Model K home, I left it in Kansas because the radiator was leaking, due to the hole (of course :-() in the center of the rad where the crank protrudes. This radiator (must not be the one originally on the car) was rubbing on the crank/shaft, and finally developed a leak, after New London to New Brighton, driving around Hershey, and then touring the Savannah GA area.

So, on the way home from GA I dropped it off at Tom's Radiator in Sabetha. Tom took off the rad, took it apart, and "moved" the hole/box over and down. No small task. And this as on the radiator that two other shops told me was "un repairable"".

While at Tom's, I asked him what became of the 1909 waterpump radiator he had last summer (it looked really bad) and he said, "oh, I finished that a while ago and sent it back". I had him send a pick of ir (see below). I wish I had a pic of it before. He also had three other brass T radiators in the shop, so evidently he is being "discovered" by us T guys.

Lastly, a friend sent me three pics from the St. Louis Thanksgiving day parade (see below). Dick, can you tell us who is who?

So, the N and K are finally home. The entire trip, (Hershey, Savannah, Nebraska) put 4,035 miles on the truck and trailer. The truck (F250 diesel) averaged 10.5 mpg for the entire trip.

Rob, I didn't do that parade this year (although, with the weather as nice as it was, perhaps I should have). The green Touring belongs to Steve and Mary Ellen Stevenson, the Roadster with yellow wheels belongs to Sam and Cindy Atkinson. I'm not sure who the owner of the Tudor is. Steven Thum will probably chime into this thread and complete the list.

Dick, that Tudor belongs to Steve Thum.

Stephen

Stephen, I knew that he had acquired a Tudor, but have never seen it. Aha!

Tudor is my wife Diana and me, the green 23 touring is Steve Stephenson and his wife Mary Ellen, and the 27 roadster is Sam Atkinson and his wife Cindy. We were supposed to have 2 more cars but they didn't show.

Steven

Dick, You are welcome to come over any time, but the engine is out of it right now.

Steven
