Default Neat Original Photo of a Tudor Sedan Converted into a Paint Saleman's Car.

What appears to possibly be a 1931 Tudor made up into a neat salesmen's car.

I noticed his front license is hung the same way the 28-9 plate was hung. It looks like the wind pressure while driving has pushed the plate BACK, as would be expected. The front plate on my 28 keeps working forward, which I can't explain.

Where can I get some NU-ENAMEL to paint my car, says it leaves no brush marks and covers in one coat.

Many years ago I was driving down a wash board road when my A boiled over.The front plate had moved back & the bottom corner wore a hole in the rad tube I scraped some tar of a previous roof repair & stuck it on the tube & it stopped the leak.

Take the time to follow Luke's link as they have on of the best online selections of old photos that they posted some years ago. We have bought photos from them and have been quite happy with their service.

Are any of the photos you post here available for sale as prints?

Ray, Thanks for asking, no they are not for sale (this one is avaialble from the Wisc.Historical Society, see the link above) as we just do not have the time to do so, but many of them are on The Old Motor. We run a very busy early mechanical restoration shop and produce The Old Motor early in the morning and at night.

We do it to share our photos and we are going to be using The Old Motor for doing some fund raising and hopefully a collage scholarship to help young people coming into the old car field soon.
