I hope someone can help me. I have a 55 Nomad that has a tire pressure
decal on the door. It
shows the correct pressure you should have in the tires. Almost everyone
that has seen the decal
says it must have been an after market addition as they have never seen
another Nomad with such
a decal.
Does anyone know if this decal was put on at the factory?

For those of you who like event T-shirts or sweatshirts some new left

on ebay, and can be located with this url.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid

These shirts feature a background of the U.S. flag, but the red stripes
of the flag have been replaced with rows of 57 Chevys and the stars have
been replaced with the Chevy Bowtie emblems. There are also other cars
featured including a 56 Nomad and 41 Willys. I doubt, they will all
sell, but if you can't win an auction, but are interested in purchasing
either of these, please email me after the new year.

It must be the season to inherit cars. My wife just got notified that she
is inheriting a used 67
Mohs. At least I think it is a car from the description she got from a
lawyers letter. It might be a
motorcycle. I have not heard of this brand of cars. I hope some of your
list people can help me. I
was very much interested in cars in 1967. I though I knew every brand
there was and I never
heard of a Mohs. That is why I think it might be a motorcycle or a
scooter. It might also be a
foreign car but I don't think so. I checked the Old Cars price guide and I
could not find a Mohs
listed in either the domestic or foreign.
I would like to know the value of this 67 Mohs. We have to go about 100
miles to pick it up. I
hope it is worth the trip.
BILL
Editor's note. Bill, it will be worth the trip. Mohs are VERY VERY rare.

Bob, I have a 55 convert that I modified. I need a convert part, I don't
know what it is called so I'll try to describe it. It is the stainless
steel part (drivers side) that connects the bottom and top of the stainless
steel windshield trim pieces. It is different than the hard top as it is
slightly "u" in shape. The one I have has two large bullet holes in it, a
shop tried to fix it but you can still tell it was damaged. Can you and
your friends help, e-mail Rick at drennar@attglobal.net .
I love the stories, cars for sale and the parts for sale! Keep up the great
work and I wish you and all your 567 friends a happy and safe holiday
season.

Re the question on Crosley back in the 12/08/01 issue (sorry, I was away on
vacation!): I'm by no means a Crosley expert, however my late father and
great
uncle did own a Stude dealership back East when I was a kid. My father
often
brought cars they'd taken in trade home (so he could see if they were
running
properly prior to placing them on sale in their used car lot).
I recall riding in a little Crosley wagon when I was five or six. I know
there
was a wooden stick under the seat with some marks on it that my dad used to
check the fuel level. I don't recall any gauge on the instrument panel,
which
was pretty bare (other than the speedometer). Possibly there had originally
been
a rod attached to the gas cap for checking the level as suggested - and
that
this had broken off.
Whatever, your list item has jogged a memory from over 50 years ago, Bob!

Happy Holidays everyone. In answer to Carl Johnson- Yes there was a Muntz
automobile. It was made in the early 50s by a man referred to as Mad Man
Muntz. When the cars didn't work out, he made TV sets, or maybe it was the
other way around. He did not make drive trains, but offered choices to his
customers. Fred Roth of the Milestone Car Society has a beautiful restored
model with, I think, a Lincoln drivetrain. He shows it every year at the
Father's Day show in 1000 Oaks, CA.

Hi Bob
I haven't written in quite a while and I would just like to say how much I
look forward to receiving this list every week. I have learned so much,
from these great people, who are so dedicated to keeping these old cars on
the road. I have a question to ask if I could? A while back I asked where I
could send a Bendix Power break unit, that I bought at a swap meet, to have
it rebuilt. A fella wrote back and told me, but sense then I had my
computer upgraded, and I didn't save it. If any one would know where would
be the best place to have it rebuilt I would appreciate it. Also if any one
has a 57 accessory installation manual the would part with please let me
know. You know Bob some times I have to laugh, because most people don't
have a clue as to how much effort and money it takes to restore one of
these old cars. I would like to share something with you if I could? A
couple of years ago I took my 57 Belair 2dr ht to a car show. I don't take
it to many. A fella came up to me and said, " That a sharp car." I said,
"Thanks". He said, "You know that would really be a nice one if it was an
Impala". I just smiled and said, You know your probably right".
Thanks everyone and

would have a very rare car indeed.

I hate to open up this can of worms again, as I know this subject was
was discussed just a while back, but....
Can anyone recommened the best (ie sturdiest) rear-shock mounting
crossmember for a (non-nomad) station wagon?
I have no preference vis-a-vis bolt-in vs weld-in....

Gee Bob,
I wish I'd a seen that article in the El Lay Times on seat belts, it's one
of those things that've been on my 2do list for some time. I have a 57
4-door 210 so it has the post, perfect for a shoulder strap. Now, where do
you guys get the best ones?

Bill,
Congrats on finding your car! Your story really hit home for me as I have
been searching for my 55 2 door wagon that I sold out of SC in 1978, SN
B55J114687.
I would hope that everyone that owns a wagon or can look at a friends wagon
could tell me where my old wagon is, reward offered. What a high that had
to be for you, good luck with your Nomad.

Happy Holidays everyone. In answer to Carl Johnson- Yes there was a Muntz
automobile. It was made in the early 50s by a man referred to as Mad Man
Muntz. When the cars didn't work out, he made TV sets, or maybe it was the
other way around. He did not make drive trains, but offered choices to his
customers. Fred Roth of the Milestone Car Society has a beautiful restored
model with, I think, a Lincoln drivetrain. He shows it every year at the
Father's Day show in 1000 Oaks, CA.

Hi Bob
I haven't written in quite a while and I would just like to say how much I
look forward to receiving this list every week. I have learned so much,
from these great people, who are so dedicated to keeping these old cars on
the road. I have a question to ask if I could? A while back I asked where I
could send a Bendix Power break unit, that I bought at a swap meet, to have
it rebuilt. A fella wrote back and told me, but sense then I had my
computer upgraded, and I didn't save it. If any one would know where would
be the best place to have it rebuilt I would appreciate it. Also if any one
has a 57 accessory installation manual the would part with please let me
know. You know Bob some times I have to laugh, because most people don't
have a clue as to how much effort and money it takes to restore one of
these old cars. I would like to share something with you if I could? A
couple of years ago I took my 57 Belair 2dr ht to a car show. I don't take
it to many. A fella came up to me and said, " That a sharp car." I said,
"Thanks". He said, "You know that would really be a nice one if it was an
Impala". I just smiled and said, You know your probably right".
Thanks everyone and
"Lets keep those Tri-Fives Alive"

Editor's note. You are right on the money. If you had a 57 Impala, you
would have a very rare car indeed.

i am redoing a bare 55 nomad shell my dad and i just bought and was
wondering if anyone could help me track down parts for it such as trim, all
die cast 55 moldings, slider latches, liftgates, anything exclusively nomad
also we have a 56 driver nomad that had its paint dividers recently stolen
so if someone could help us track those down that would be appreciated. if
anyone needs any nomad parts i do have some spares that i have acquired
over the past few months and would be willing to sell or trade for other
nomad parts...let me know thanks!
