Thanks. What do you have?

 

Right now a few corals (torches, brains, blastos, mushrooms), and a few fish ( blue tang, clown fish, vlamdi tang, a couple of damsel). I just lost two beautiful fish, a achilles tang and a harlequin tusk. I loved both fish :(

1929 is the last year of the Oakland,in 1930 Oakland became Pontiac.As per the Pontiac/Oakland owners association,there are only three known to still exist.

Still in the restoration process,but it's all there.

What's really important is the all wood frame,(yes the body was nailed to the frame) ,is in such great shape.

OMG dude, that is sick. Good luck with the resto. So cool.

Thank you,it hasn't been easy finding certain parts.It has been alot of fun though.One thing you should keep in mind,this car was built during the great depression.Herbert Hoover was president,and people could barely afford bread let alone a two thousand dollar car.Two thousand dollars was a years salary back then,so there wasn't many made from the onset.It was a high end car for the time,if you see the pic of the passenger side of the car,there is a side door that is solely made for golf clubs.I didn't want to restore just any car,Ford model A's are all over the place.I wanted something different,and I have it in spades with this car. :cloud9:

Um... not to butt in, but for some people, $16000 is a years salary, and that is the cheap end for a car nowadays (think what the asking price for a Mini Cooper or a Fiat 500 Pop is) - now think about what a semi-luxury car costs.

Very nice. What are you using for reference material? Are either of the other two fully/accurately restored?
