Car is a 1966 Polara with a 318 Poly. Hey guys, long time. Need some help and hoping the expertise here can guide me. Years ago I replaced my radiator with a shiny aluminum one but when it arrived I realized that it had the lower outlet on the right (wrong) side instead of the left. My mechanic...

It's a Classic Auto Air unit. I live in Miami, can't live without AC down here. Car has always been a Florida car and had factory AC despite the fact that it's the "economy" model with the 318 Poly. The original compressor gave up the ghost a few years ago. System now runs on R-134a

Mine isn't as clean as yours.

After going with the trans-dapt spacer, I'm thinking about switching to the phenolic one you mentioned. Any more specifics as to make/part number? I'm having trouble with warm starts and think it's just a question of fuel boiling. Would like to try the phenolic spacer to see if it makes a...

There was a Bill Thomas Motors, Inc. in Morganton, N.C. It later became Quality Motors, Inc. The registered agent was Billy D. Thomas of 226 Riverside Dr. in Morganton, NC. Nice house. There's a 1997 obituary for Bill D. Thomas that says, "He was retired owner of Bill Thomas Motors, a...

Rule 7 is my favorite, where Volkswagen becomes Volkswagon.

I work in advertising and it's interesting to me that automobile ads almost always used illustrations instead of photographs. That is until DDB created the Think Small ad for Volkswagen in 1959. It's been called the best ad of 20th century. In its campaign for VW, DDB only used photographs.

For several years I've been looking for an old timey keychain for my Cacharro. I had an eBay search saved for Thayer Motor Co., the long defunct dealership in Clearwater, FL where the car was originally sold. I've only ever been able to find a matchbook, not a keychain. So, I broadened my search...

Welcome aboard. No apologies necessary. Sweet rig. Enjoy it!

Unless you're hiding something.

I have a 318 Poly in my Polara but it was 2 barrel. I bought an intake on ebay from a 61 Fury like yours and converted to a four barrel Edelbrock. I used to fill it with 93 octane but have decided to switch to ethanol free 89 or 90 octane (depends on the gas station that's most convenient at the...

And a one, and a two...

What engine does she have?

OEM 14" wheels with aftermarket poverty caps.

And on the same street, Lincoln Road, there's a Banana Republic store that used to be a Savings and Loan. The big marble teller counter is still there and the vault is there and now acts as the fitting rooms.

Although it says it was uncovered and restored in 2020 I can tell you that's not true. I worked in Miami Beach from 2004-2007 and it was already in its current state. Maybe they meant 2002?

In Miami Beach, on Lincoln Road, which is now a pedestrian mall, there's an old Cadillac-Lasalle dealership which is now a Guess store.

Replaced the Brake Booster. Old one was causing low idle. About five years ago I had a mechanic install a booster and dual bowl master cylinder. Car came with no power brakes and single circuit master cylinder. Had to hunt the right booster down for my application...
