I have quite literally looked everywhere for a new or (in very good shape) used coolant reservoir for my caddy. I must be looking in the wrong places, but even my closest friends in the car restoration industry have had no luck. Where can I get one!?!?

My father in-law passed away several years ago and left a mostly restored all original (all original ford parts, no fiberglass) 1934 ford sedan. Unfortunately we now need to sell this beautiful car. So I have several questions.

1) Should we finish restoring before we sell? All that is needed is to finish the interior, and though the engine was running before he passed away, probably needs some work since the car wasn’t started for the last 7 years. And of course would need some paint.

2) Are there shops that will do the restoration? Could anyone give an estimate of how much it might cost based on the info above?

3) Where is the best place to sell? We were looking at ebay but is there better options out there?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

GFC asked:


Does anybody know how the spotlight was mounted on a ‘57 Ford police car? (See photo here: http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww300/GFC-911/spotlight.png)

Modern ones mount through the pillar between the windshield and front door, but this mounts through fender under windshield due to wrap-around nature of windshield.

If you were to mount a modern one this way, the control arm for it would go right through the dashboard! So…

Where and how were the control arms mounted inside the vehicle? Was it some sort of curved mount, a cable system, or what? And where would the control handle have been located?

Finally, any idea what make and model the light would be?

Reason for asking: Restoring a classic ‘57 Ford to its glory days in the Illinois State Police, and want to install a proper, period-appropriate spotlight as part of the restoration. Gotta make it look “just right,” y’know?

Thanks!!
