Frank - beautiful car, enjoy it in the best of health.

What a fabulous car Frank, that garden party has obviously had an influence on you. Pre-war European cars had, what was termed as, 'Trafficators,' but if you had to buy a replacement, you asked for a semaphore arm.

Just from memory, and it's not reliable these days, Does your car have something similar, but in the shape of a hand? Can you post a photo?

Yes it does but only one and it is only for stopping ( in the USA we call it a brake light ) and for backing up a reverse light , no left or right turn signal/directional ( again we call it a blinker ).

Hey GTH your right ,being at the lawn party and seeing those cars did have an impact although I was thinking about it for awhile .
BTW I sent you a friend request a while back but got no response .
I will send you another one now , I like your style and would love to have you as a friend here on the Forum.






Here is what it looks like up close and a bit further back with the rack .

Thanks for taking an interest and sharing in my happiness with my "new" old car.
All the Best ,Fashion Frank

It's kind of hard to see but if you look closely to the left of the luggage rack on the back fender you can make it out .
if I have time tomorrow Ill take a close up shot of the light.

Frank, that A appears to be just about perfect! Congratulations!

I'm quite sure you will enjoy it immensely.


Have you seen the television web series produced by Hagerty Insurance,
"365 Days of A", the video diary of a fellow who drove a '30 Tudor n daily service for a year, which year included a number of long-distance business trips.?

A 101 year old Michigan lady and her helper had her 1930 Packard on

display at the 2012 Glenmoor Gathering Councours Show near Canton, Ohio.

You know that if it had been me there would have been an MG badge:

That's quite a car, and quite a lady, too.

Yes but then you wouldn’t be driving it much because it would break down every time you tried to back it out of the garage.

Speaking of cars, has anybody heard from AtomicEraTom lately? He hasn't been around the Lounge for almost three months now.

I'm always in touch with him on Facebook.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Ah, he's joined the Dark Side. Well, tell him he's missed.

He's got a girlfriend. Need I say more ... [huh]

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

And he's been busy fixing up his new house.

Ah, he's joined the Dark Side. Well, tell him he's missed.

I'm also friends with two or three other Loungers who rarely post here these days.

 

[Stearmen]

Here you go GHT, speaking of MG badge!

 

[Fading Fast]

Ah, he's joined the Dark Side. Well, tell him he's missed.

I will echo that sentiment, I really enjoy his posts. Maybe Big Man or V.C. Brunswick can coax him back with honest tales of how much he is missed.
