I remember a few dealerships down this way someone and a sawzall took them off every new and used car. Then the copper pipe thing happened.. -
Back in the 1980's BMW stood for Break My Windows. It was rumored there was only one Blaupunk radio in the country. It just kept being stolen to be put in another car and re-stolen. Good for the glass companies.
At the same time Cadillac front bumpers were worth big $$ and easily stolen off the car while it was parked at the curb. To prevent this you went to your local 'Mitch' who would put a couple of 'snots' from a mig welder on the bolts so a wrench would not fit.
At about the same time a Mercedes dealer was getting a truck load of cars delivered, a young guy wearing the dealer shirt offered to help move a car off the street .... he and the car where never seen again.
Another Mercedes dealer at the end of the day would line up the customer cars inside to be picked up. A man in a nice business suit announced he was there to pick up his car, & hopped in ....he and the car never seen again.
Local AM news show did a feature on the epidemic of stolen cars being put in shipping containers to be delivered over seas. The gang was busted with a warehouse full of high end cars .... including some with our pinstriping trade mark on their trunks.

I was in the car wash yesterday and noticed a guy with a nice mid 80's Mercedes coupe. We struck up a conversation about the car and he said that he was on his way to a commercial shoot in NYC. He went on to say that he has this car registered with an agency that supplies vehicles to photographers who want them for commercials. He also told me that the typical fee for using his car was $1000 for a...12-04-2018, 08:47 AM -
Hello all,
As I promised a while back, here is the story and some pictures of my 1929 Tudor.
My great-grandfather purchased this car new in 1929, and drove it daily as his only vehicle throughout the remainder of his life. When he passed in the 70's, the car was given to my Grandfather. My grandfather owned a small paint and body shop in which he fixed/painted hundreds of...05-03-2021, 08:24 PM -

Well guys, the wait is over. I picked up my 1930 Model A from Dan Baldwin today. I am going to show you a few pictures of my car before and after some time and a little money. Back in March 2020, I had Dan Baldwin pickup my Model A and start the process of improving my car. I want you all to know, it isn't perfect or a car that will be judged. I always wondered what was under all that cracked paint...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

We just got back from a week at altitude in Utah with our club.
You need all the help you can get with an A in the mountains. You'd best be set up properly for touring, which includes a HC head for starters. We hit 9500 ft.

Good evening everyone,
I would like to share with you some of my recent experiences with regard to on-line security. Although the subject of this article was in Europe, I am certain it applies just as well in the US or Australia and New Zealand.

When selling a Classic Car, one has to be particularly vigilant.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been involved in preparations for a clearing sale on a farm that belonged to two bachelor brothers. The last of the brothers passed away about 18 months ago. Both were well into their 80s when they died. What is unique about these blokes is that they farmed in some kind of time warp for almost all of their lives.- Their daily transport ("going to town"

While perusing some images of old cars in the Model A era, I see there are many that look like our 30-31 Model As. Question:
What are your thoughts about whether or not all some of the old cars from this period were copies of the Model A, OR, was the Model A a copy on another old car of that same period?
I seem to recall that Edsel Ford also did the design work on the 30/31s....01-19-2020, 12:31 AM
