Back home in the shop today. Here's how it's going.
Preparing to drop the oil pan and check bearings in this Continental "C" engine in the 1914 Pathfinder.
Floor is out, belly pan and splash pans are out. #sgmechanicalservice #ifixstuffyoucant #pathfinder #continental #prewarcars

Mr. Huntley's 1914 Chandler Light Six

Here's a neat story. So about a year ago I was doing a Google search to see if there was anything new on the Internet about 1914 Chandler cars. A new link popped up.  In a gentleman's blog on his website he was talking about a picture he was sent of his old house. In that picture was the original owner in his car in front of the house. A little research and some lucky tips and the car was identified as a 1914 Chandler. I am sure the author never expected that any of these cars survived.

Well about a year after his post I was able to confirm that a few 1914 Chandlers have survived and I had one that matched the car in his picture. Our  car lived its entire 'life' in Iowa (1914-2019) so I know at least it's not the exact car.

Here's a link to the story: https://www.timpoulsen.com/2023/mr-huntleys-1914-chandler-light-six.html

When I saw the old picture on The Cadillac Lasalle Club of Victoria's facebook page it was labeled as a V16 tractor. I immediately thought AI. However, it is real and the other pictures are recent at a show in Switzerland. It is a V8 and not a V16 though.

47 Town & Country in for a couple "minor" repairs. The owner likes the color of the wood which is a combination of the natural tint in varnish and age, and so the hope is to make the repairs without any new wood showing from the outside. The trunk supports on these cars are attached in a way that applies a constant and substantial pressure on the trunk lid almost directly under the hinge, which over time does what you see here. The corner joints are completely broken, a steel bracket on the under side is what's holding it together. The plan is to make a strong pattern/brace to the shape of the rear deck and clamp it to the trunk lid, forcing it back into the shape I want it to have. I will then remove as much wood as I can from the inside and rebuild the joint. Hopefully when the new wood is glued in place and the clamps are removed it will hold the new shape.

mistake avoided

Working from the scan we produced the model, then from the model we produce a 2d drawing, from this 2d drawing I can see that the ports are not level and that the top left one is low, the blown up selection of the drawing shows the actual dimensions,.... looks like we scanned one with a core that had moved. you must check check and check again

Peerless Make at Pebble Beach

Guys, I was wondering what Peerless models were on the showfield at Pebble Beach over the years? Jeff, I believe you posted (AACA forum) a couple cars that were there in 2008 when I believe Peerless was featured. I also think there was one in 2018. It would be great to have a thread that goes all the way back to the first year of the PB Concour d’elegance and captures every Peerless that made an appearance and have photos and history about each if it is known.
