Man, $46.95 each! Of course, in 1967, I was drinking ten-cent cokes, eating 25-cent burgers, and pumping 28-cent gasoline. I bet the wheels...
It better be a damn good winch, because it is surprising how much resistance that counter-rotating wheel generates when you're loading. I have an...
After googling images for Keystonse Klassics and Keystone Kustomags, I believe you have the definitive answer...Keystone Kustomags (and I'm old...
I'm now pretty satisfied they are early Keystones. Every picture I found of a Rocket wheel showed flat spokes with a single rib in the...
This thread also answered the question for me. I've got to deliver a '55 Studebaker that's doing the same thing, one rear wheel turns forward and...
While sorting through my stash of old custom wheels, I set this pair aside as Keystone Klassics, but later inspection introduced some doubt about...
I've been a HAMB member for more than six years but, at age 63, don't post often unless I think I can meaningfully contribute to a technical or...
I got an Auto City Classics aluminum radiator in my '56 at a total cost of $238 and found it to be a perfect fit. Be forewarned that an...
That probably was its fate; it sold for less than $300.
The '39 Ford coupe sold for $950, bought by the grandson of the man who consigned all the vehicles to auction. The '51 Ford pickup, easily the...

Hell, it doesn't rust away here like in the Northeast...it just gets sun- and windburned! I'm going to try to get back by the auction site...
This auction occurred March 3.
My '17 Dodge touring car rod is fenderless up front, and any water through which you drive winds up arching over the windshield and coming down on...
Here's my '60 F100 short/wide still holding its position on my project list. The guys at Owens Salvage improved the truck's status for me when...
The McMaster-Carr website is for me now what the Sears & Roebuck Christmas toy catalog was back in the 1950s. The search term you should use is...
I've used jaxed, searchtempest, craigshelper, and crazedlist, but I'm now sold on www.craigzoom.com.
