Re: Attracting new Model A members.

I do the same as Bruce does, prop hood open. I have also put copper caps on top of the spark plugs just for show (using copper 1/2" pipe caps with a hole in the top) to mimic the old style ignitions....

Re: Abandoned roadster

Back in the 80's I used to run a small company where we would drive around and find cars for $50 to $100 and part them out, anything from trucks to T-birds. Of course those days are gone, but so many...

I looked at other car covers but went with the California CC as well. Very good quality, good service, and fits my Phaeton like a glove.

Re: Best car cover

California Car Cover for me. Cars are in heated storage over the winter...I've had other brands, CCC works the best for me on my cars. You get what you pay for.
