1930 Graham Paige 615 Touring Sedan

in the top of the second picture is a strange looking wood handle with metal side parts, it's for removing the battery! Without this tool, that battery ain't coming out! The rectangular pieces on the ends go over the battery terminals.

I met Royce Dunn at this car show, missed him at the Coronado car show, and got some info this time. He found this around Vista in really bad condition, all the roof wood beams were shot, both the fender spare tires were missing (he found a local San Diegan who has an encyclopedic reference guide to all the old wood spoke rims and who made the two now on the sedan) and brought it back from the nearly too far gone.

Some of the original tools were under the seat, but the rest have been painstakingly located... some by chance, like the NOS air pump.. which was in Kobey's swap meet and he bargained down to 8 from 10$ !

Gauges and radios

Indian Motorcycle.... cool

How about this rare set of Stewart Warner gauges?

2007 Del Mar Goodguys, my dashboard fascination is fed with manna

This dash is a beaut, might be bakelight, maybe plastic, but a sweet simple design, look at the temp buttons below the radio... heater controls? Just great design all around, speedo to radio aspect, color combo... all of it.

This is from the sweetest Imperial there, very high dollar mods, but the hood and trunk were up, and it would have been a lousy picture of the exterior, next time.... notice the leather wrap on the steering wheel, which ia a perfect styled design, and the HUGE speedo, and realize it's nearly 1/2 as big as the wheel... must be about 10 inch diameter... push button trans too, and leather dash. A pic of the exterior can be seen at http://www.moparmax.com/events/2007/ii_4-dm-4.html

This Lincoln dash is terrific, easy but small guages, and I think the style of the small zeros in the speedo is cool, they aren't needed, and save space by making them 1/3rd the size of the numbers. Just above the steering column are the temp and air controls, almost un-noticeable and not cluttering up the area under the radio.

I think this is from a Merc, dual small ashtrays to match and accentuate the symmetry of the design of the speaker grill and speedo/clock design. Almost elegant. I'd give a 12 pack to know what is going on with the dual radio faces, the left appears to be signal strength, and the right is tuning, but I've never seen one like this before. A 30's woody maybe.

Another Imperial, and dig the 150 speedo, and the shifter next to the radio.... R N D L.
