Hello










Hello, I would like to introduce myself as Dave and I live 60 minuets West of Toronto Ontario. I have many cars and bikes to entertain myself with. Our latest addition is a 1928 F-28 Roadster. I will be looking for your insights and wisdom while trying to refresh this back into its glory. I will be looking for some parts as well. Currently missing the instrument cluster and bezel if anyone out there knows of any around. The car still retains its original leather upholstery. Thanks 😊 Dave

Hi there; Pretty hard to race up and down the road without any instruments.

Nice collection ,Dave. Once when I was a kid I got to sit in a rumble seat like that. Since then I always wanted to ride in one, but apparently they have gotten smaller, I would never fit in that !! I love that Bronco also.

Welcome, Dave. Thanks for sharing your collection with us. That Olds will be Super Cool when done - It already looks awesome! I hope you share the resto process with us, that will be fun to follow. Good luck with your project.

Welcome, Dave. You might be interested in going to aaca.org and clicking on "Our Cars and Restoration Projects" section. A guy with site name Chistech has a 3 year running account of restoring a 1932 Olds f32 roadster from rough condition to winning a high level award at this fall's Hershey Auto Show. He does restoration work on cars of this era and has machined some molds to cast rubber parts that weren't available for his project. His blog is '32 Oldsmobile Deluxe Convertible Roadster. Your car bears resemblance to his. Possible that some parts Interchange?

Yes three 1954 Isetta two are green and a blue one that needs to be redone. The one green one is almost there. The other green one needs engine finished up and get it going. They are 295cc. The 1956 Citroen is a two cylinder air cooled. With 13hp of shear power. 0 to 60 in half hour. You really have to plan your distances when pulling out onto the road or you can destroy someone’s day for them. But just so much fun to drive.
