Best Correct Oil Filters

OK.... OK.... there is probably an easy explanation. Every time I go into NAPA Auto Parts or any other local Auto Parts store and ask for an oil filter for my 1959 Plymouth the clerk gives me a cannister type filter. I went into NAPA today and ordered a NAPA Gold filter and the clerk gave me a FIL 1...

Re: Cuba Field Trip!

Dan, Nice photos of Cuban American Iron. Some of these cars look to be in really good condition. But I do wonder how many have been molested with parts from other cars just to keep them on the road. I wonder if you have seen any of these other Forward Look cars while you were there? These were suppo...

Re: 2015 Norwich Connecticut COC Auto Show

Dan,

The Avanti belongs to a friend of mine and is on this years 2015 Avantis Owners Association Calendar.
The black 1959 Plymouth is my car.

I have been posting on this site for 14 months and I just realized that I have never posted in the Introduce Yourself section on this site.
Sorry ...

Larry

I brought my 1959 Plymouth to the 2015 Norwich COC Auto Show in eastern Connecticut. The show is located at a Double A Minor League baseball stadium. As in previous years it hosts ...

Re: How to fix heater box

Well I have done this to my old Mustang and Pontiac heater boxes that were hard to find replacements for. I have used fiberglass cloth and resin to fix them on the inside. On the exterior surface I would try to mix up an epoxy liquid steel liquid (JB Weld might work) that comes in a tube. To darken ...

Re: Hello from Mid West Georgia

Steve,

The car looks to be pretty much all there on the exterior, except for a few missing parts.
Does it have a motor, transnission and interior?

Doesn't seem to have too much body rust. Was it a southern or northern car?

Re: 1959 Plymouth Savoy 4-door Sedan

Dan, Yes I saw the 59plymouth.net Watermark. So now I am curious. Why would a Seller use photos from 2008 to sell a classic car? You would think that the Seller would take new photographs? I think I will ask the seller some questions about the car which is located about 50 minutes from my house. htt...
