Mason I grew up in a beautiful, large, old home in a terrific upper-middle class neighborhood. My dad was a regular, honest, middle-class guy, working 6 days a week and he and mom ended up in their dream home...the home I grew up in. In retrospect, I'll bet it was a huge deal to buy it and a bigger...

Just a suggestion, as I know you have been looking for quite some time, and a good selection of cars has come and gone - maybe you need to be a bit more specific so people know what you are really looking for? What’s not working with the other cars that have been offered etc? I’m on the same sort o...

Maybe you didn't see it, or did and passed on it, but I sent you a link to a real nice '16 a while back. It finally sold. Was a good price for a brass. Not much brass, but a good starter car.

Not sure which one that was, but I appreciate the help...

Still looking for a nice car, thanks...

Mason, I'm interested in what you've heard about the HCCA magazine, "good and bad". I'm a very active life member of the HCCA, and I'm on the committee that helps the editor get out the Gazette every two months. I'd appreciate it if you'd send me a private message telling what you've heard, good an...

Anyone know of anything? Thanks

You might want to subscribe to the Horseless Carriage Club of America. Their magazine is awesome, and they post information on every upcoming tour, event, or swap meet that people let them know about.

The best and most complete list I've ever seen is a website called "BIG AL'S LIST" when you get to the swap meet page just follow the instructions to locate a meet near you.

Since this is to be your first car, not knowing where you live, whether urban or rural, I would suggest a 26-27 open car.

Hello, i am trying to get a complete list of prewar (mainly brass era) swap meets, car shows, and tours that are held (mainly in the US, but abroad welcome) because it can be hard to track them down as many are not well advertised and info is limited.

You'll pay a lot more for an earlier T than you will for a later brass car (14-16). And when you get into Models A through S you're talking real money.
