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$ !
Before Les made his hauler, the car went to car shows on it's own rubber
The Sylvester is a cool touch
Of the 3 race Datsuns the owner has, he says "This one scares me!" Now that has to be some impressive power to weight ratio!
I finally found someone who knows what this unusual radio design is all about, the 2 sections of clear plastic(or glass) are a single unit and when pressed down switch the channel to the next preselected channel. The left hand display is tone and volume, the right hand side is tuning.
42 Lincoln Continental
Quite elegant.. love the grill. V12!
Cool trunk / rumble seat...not sure, but I like the way it looks
Way cool hood ornament
This leather wrap around interior is very appealing... damn it must be comfy
Well designed!
one huge radio enclosure
I find the pushbuttons on the door panels very cool, beats door handle looks... much better this way... pull strap and comfy looking armrest plus a big lemme out button.
