Dan, your glib comment points to the lag time necessary for a Stanley vehicle to fire up a head of steam before getting under way. :lol: I wonder how long that really is ?

On the other hand, I believe the term fire engine originated in horse-drawn days, reference to the mobile steam engines that were used to pump water for the fire hoses. If I...

if you're unable to search the Forum, to see the veracity of my statement I'll be glad to help. Original has complained for years about this vendor and there is nothing untruthful about pointing that out.

Rather than drag this discussion farther into the mud, I'll simply post a single link (of many) to one of his many rants...a rant where he...

John Tannehill, I tried sending you a message and an email through this site but they don't seem to be getting to you. How can I get ahold of you? Interested in the 12 short block.

I am excited to start hanging parts now!
Have you had the rear springs out of the frame? A lot of TT's have broken spring leaves from overloading. You don't see it until the springs are out.

Steve,
I completely disassembled the rear leaf assembly and found them to be fine. I did find broken leaves on another TT rear that I disassembled for...

Oh! The METHANE!

Only about an 80 mile tour last summer with my local club. It was, however, the first time I’d really “soloed,” other than a few short test drives to get the feel of my car which I’d recently purchased. My goals were pretty simple: To have a good time, not crash my car or worse yet crash into other club members. We were pretty well bunched up at...

so glad that they were saved from oblivion and are being displayed and respected as the important historical pieces that they are

Bravo to you and your friend!

and thank you for sharing that fact

Never heard the bad luck thing. My grandpa mentioned soldiers getting paid with them many years ago. I have a couple in my pocket right now, got them in change recently, don't remember where, but the clerk actually asked if I was okay with them as change.

I'm not a collector, but I do have an unopened pack of 100 $2 bills from the federal reserve...

Last call out to users of the TW timer !
The order goes in tomorrow, don't be left out if you need brushes !

Thanks to all who responded, you've made it possible to have them made.

I have a 16 Runabout and a 30 pickup. I enjoy them both for different reasons, but the T was my first old car and I drive it most every weekend. If I had to choose I'd sell the A, cause I truly love my T. There's just something about these early cars that's in my blood.

I don't suppose there are too many Barn Find Duesenbergs out there. I remember the rumor about a local one that went the way of the Packard that belonged to Mae West or Jean Harlow.

This will advertise our Father's Day Car Show Swap Meet this year.
We had 2 Duesenbergs attend our Jackson Hole Tour in 1978. A J and an earlier one....

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I think the 30 years I did in the Marine Corps is catching up with my back. Can't move so good. Today I borrowed my wife's sewing room to lay out the interior parts from Classtique. IMG_6532.jpeg

Then I set them in the car. I'm going to install them with thumbtacks and then mark where I want...

Ah, the ORIGINAL Four Preps . They came together around 1910 and eventually found success when Oscar the Zonk joined the tight-knit group in the summer of 1913. They toured the Northwest lumber camps extensively prior to The War, and were only rarely pelted with vegetables. No recordings are known to exist.
