Photos by Richard of C
I have been on the Google Image site many times looking at car images. I feel that the site would be improved to a great degree by having the pages edited so that incorrectly labeled images can be removed from the pages. This would make the process of finding a particular image faster. Right now...

Can't shut engine off on 1959 Impala by Mr. DOS
I went out to start my 1959 Impala after winter storage, and the battery was dead. When putting a jumper cable on it, I noticed the Oil light was on even when the ignition was in the "Off" or "Lock" positions. The car started OK, but then when I pulled it out of the driveway, and turned the...

Model A as a "daily" driver? by [email protected]
Hi, I have been seeing some nice Model A's for sale around where I live, allegedly in excellent condition. My question is would a model A with an original power plant and tranny work out as a regular driver? I don't drive to work, so "regular" means to the supermarket a couple times a week, on...

1979 Cadillac Fleetwood: good idea for restoration? by F. Baker
I am considering purchasing and restoring a 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood with the 425 CI motor . Some questions: Was this a good year for the Fleetwood? I'm told by various sources that the '79 Fleetwood is a good one. The motor only puts out 195 HP. What would you do to tune it for greater HP? I...

I drive as my primary car a 1974 Olds Cutlass. I am only the second owner and it has 66,000 miles on it. It had less than 40,000 on it when I got it a few years ago. It is the envy of many young people in my town! Anyway, it has developed an intermittent starting problem. About 5 times now over 3...

Rust-Oleum on old car? by Bill Johnston
Hi, I have a 1980 Buick with rust problems, principally from two sources: It was in a rollover awhile back and got scraped up on the roof and sides, resulting in rust in those places. And the shoddy paint is flaking off on the sides, causing rust speckling. The rust is bubbling up in a few places...
