keith the people that own these, what kinda people are they?

I know a guy who owns a doosenberg, and keeps it in a hanger cause if the size, and he is a CEO of a xerox place in PDX

Not sure what you are asking Matt. They are generally older, many have collections and race vintage cars. Due to the cost of restoring one of these, they are rch to stupid rich.

Anyone have some cheap premium speakers they dont want or need anymore?

[Mullet Bullet]

wow, you REALLY need to be on your toes from 1st to 2nd when its wet out. no problems just noticing how stupidly easy it is now to break the tires loose.

one thing i need to think about now is if i want to spend the money to send out my stock injectors to be cleaned and flow tested or if i should just save some pennies and replace them with some M50 injectors and a chip to match. any opinions?

Most you wouldn't recognize on sight although you might recognize some by their company's. Lots of local cars, Seattle to Medford. I like the Riviara bodied Phantom I's, Gurney-Nutting Phantom II's and many of the American built cars like Henley.

Yea, I came across a car like this in a collection owned by a family friend when i visited alaska, pic is not the same car

to me it screams, rich mobster or gangster from 30s brooklyn lol

[LuckyHenriksen]

^ is that a production car??

[Matt-B]

i dont think they made 1000's and 1000's like so others, most of those car companies sold a few 100 or so, to my knowledge, so there very rare

[Keith M]

That thing. That is a one off from the Perterson museum. It never existed before the built it. Made it's first showing at Pebble Beach in '04 I think. As far as the real Rolls Royce cars-they didn't build complate cars until the late 40's. All cars were coach built-meaning, you bought a chassis with running gear, a firewall and usuall a hood (bonnet) and had a coachbuilder make a body for you. You could pick a existing design or have one custom built. There are several thousand of these cars existing, but very few have the same body style.
