Great cold but clear day in North Alabama for a drive to the old Huntsville Marina on the Tennessee River

It was such a warm beautiful Christmas Eve day in North Alabama, I had to take the 29 for a drive with my two youngest in the back seat.  The Tennessee River is in the background.   Merry Christmas to all!

General Discussion / Nice day for a 26 mile drive

Great day for a drive, warm and dry, unusual even in Alabama this time of year, so my youngest daughter and I took the 29 out for a 26 mile cruise.  Unfortunately did not stop for a picture, so got one afterwards.

General Discussion / Out for a drive
May 29, 2021, 11:44:08 AM
Went for a 26 mile drive today. It was good to get the 29 out for a drive.  Stopped to get gas at my regular ethanol free gas's station and they were out of gas. Oh well, it was good to get out anyway.

General Discussion / Oil Indicator rod (dip stick)
November 21, 2020, 11:37:03 PM
It is curious that the low mark on the dip stick is at the practically empty point.  The manual stats, "The engine should never be operated when the oil is below the half full point of the indicator rod."  Seams like the "Low" should read "Empty"
:-\

When the oil is below the letter "F" it will take a quart to top it off.

It is such a nice day, couldn't resist the urge to go for a drive in the 29.  We drove out to Clouds Cove, a farming area nestled between the hills and the Tennessee River Southwest of Huntsville, Alabama.  We drive 40 miles round trip.

We couldn't resist the urge to go for a drive in the 29 Plymouth. We drove 40 miles this morning. A beautiful day. Saturday mornings are good times to take her on a drive since there a few other cars on the road. We stopped by the volunteer fire station and took some pictures.  Now to reduce the size so I can post!

General Discussion / Clutch question
October 26, 2019, 09:35:17 AM
Has anyone installed a 1931 Plymouth clutch on a 1929 Plymouth?  It looks like it will fit, but there are some part number differences in the fork and bell housing, so I wonder....
#13
I need information on how to adjust the clutch on a 1930 U Plymouth.  I am installing a 1930U clutch on my 1929U Plymouth.  A release lever broke on the original clutch on my 1929U. I have located a 1930U clutch pressure plate assy. I installed it in the car and it appears to fit, but I need to know how to adjust it.

Thanks.

I had four sets of hubcaps for 1929 Plymouth wood spoke wheels reproduced and am offering three sets at cost to Plymouth Owners Club members.  These are the "hex" style.  They are cast of marine grade aluminum alloy and can be polished to look like chrome.  The faces are solid which should be less prone to damage than the originals.  As a result, these new hubcaps are almost three times as heavy as the originals.  They fit perfectly and the script "P" on the front is accurate.  However, due to the casting process, there will be some minor cosmetic flaws.  The left two hubcaps in the accompanying photo have been professionally polished.  The unpolished cost is $170 each plus S&H.  A set of four is $700 including S&H.  For professional polishing (by Dan's Polishing and Chrome) add $45 each.  30 day money back satisfaction guarantee, less S&H.  John Fain, 10038 Willow Cove RD SE, Huntsville, AL 35803.  Phone 334-718-6624, call 9 am to 8 pm Central.  Email: JohnRFain@gmail.com

General Discussion / Rims and balanced wheels
April 08, 2018, 09:24:19 AM
     When installing new tires recently on my 29U Plymouth, I took a close look at the location of the rim latch and the apparent counter weight on the fellow.  I noticed that when installed, the rim latch is exactly 180 degrees from the apparent counter weight.  Also, some of my rims do not have the rim latch but instead have what I call a hinge pin.  Previously I had a bad shimmy that would occur at 35-40 mph or if I hit a bump.  I noted that previously I had a rim on the front right wheel with the hinge pin type.  I decided to put rims of the latch type on both front wheels.  When I test drove the car, no more shimmy!  Since I have four rims of the latch type and three of the hinge pin type, I used the four latch type on my wheels and one of the pin types for the spare.

The pole on my 4 door sedan is bent - was that way when I bought it years ago.  Any ideas on how to repair it would be appreciated.
The pole is thin wall, 1 inch in diameter, rolled, and appears to be riveted on the ends.
Most hardware poles I have looked at have an OD of 1.050 inch, so will not fit.
The rivet it very thin and long, an unusual size.
If I find a pole that is the right diameter, I still need to figure. Out how to rivet ends. I thought about anealing a finishing nail to make the rivet.

Or, I could try to figure out a way to straighten the pole.
