Interesting day 25 years ago, got to play with the Bugatti Royal at The Henery Ford. Car had been sitting for 50 years. They couldn't get it started. A little help and a while later if fired off........and had a rod knock or wrist pin noise. It will probably never run again. Most agree it's the most valuable car in the world.........I'm in the brown shirt.

You have to love original interiors for easy maintenance. I haven’t cleaned it since before a concours back on Labor Day weekend and it really didn’t show. Gave it a quick vacuum, wiped down the dash and sills, and it still looks like tired old upholstery.
I figure I’ll sneak up on cleaning the outside so as not to tempt the weather gods for Sunday’s show. It’s a 60 mile drive each way, which will be the longest run that I’ve given it since I’ve owned it, so I gave everything under the hood a once over. Definitely had to top off the oil. Shall we start a pool as to how many quarts it drinks on the drive?

1919 Los Angeles Show Car
I notice in the photo gallery on the main page is a photo of the spectacular 1919 Los Angeles Auto Expo town car. There was a discussion on the AACA forum about this car a while back but I can’t remember where we landed on the coach builder of it. What details are known about this car? What are the chassis specs? It’s just incredible.

1914 Chandler clutch replacement
I am getting ready to start a project that I have been meaning to do for a while: replace the clutch in our 1914 Chandler Model 15. From what I gather on the history of this car, given that it has only been driven about 17 thousand miles in its lifetime, it is likely that the original clutch material may still be in place.
Per the manual, Model 15s came with a dry-type clutch, and consist of seven plain steel driving discs and six lined driving discs. Also, according to the manual, the clutch requires virtually no maintenance. Which I guess was true for the last 112 years!
This will be my first time separating the motor from the transmission in this car. It's going to give me a whole new opportunity to understand the ins and outs of this old car.
I'm curious if this transmission was used in other makes. I am pretty sure Chandler did not make them. They were proud to tout that they made all of their own motors, but I can find no mention of who made the transmissions. I did find this ad from 1916 for a company in Cleveland that seems like a likely supplier.
Let me know if you have had any experience replacing a clutch on one of these?

1929 Stutz M. Oil change and service.
Happy to say that this car has gone from smoking like crazy to only burning a small amount of oil over the last two years
This is one of my favourites. A joy to drive. #sgmechanicalservice #ifixstuffyoucant #stutz #prewarcars #mobilemechanic

Question for the Ford guys out there. Anyone know the story behind this humorous photo of a 427 cammer?
