....although I do like this look , as well . Not sure but I think this might be a dog dish cap with a chrome painted or chrome plated wheel .

That is a chrome ring teejay,...the dog dish cap actually holds that ring in place,..it's an old style,..the newer rings are narrower,...and snap in like the full disc does. if I go to blackwall tires,..I will most likely put the narrower ring on,..along with the dog dish cap. The cap in the photo below,.is the factory dog dish that came out on the '52 / '53 / '54 Fords,..I have a set of ( 3 ) only in excellent shape, ..but need to find one more in equally as good condition.

I think the skirts help set the small caps off Wayne. Look good on the car. I much prefer that look as a set of 18" or 20" or whatever there installing now.

Thank You GMDad,...I like the look a whole lot better too. When this car came up from kentucky,..it had dummy spot lights,..Lake pipes,....chrome reverse smothies,....and a few other ratty looking add ons that wouldn't do the vehicle any justice,..the old gent that briught it up here told me that all of that garbage was the first thing that he stripped off of the car as soon as he got it into his shop,...he just saved me a lot of work.

Wayne ...wonder if you know Bob Swaddling from Kingsville , as to the classic planes ?

T

 Does Swaddling's have an airstrip between Kingsville and Cottam by any chance, teejay,..??  I have done a lot of work for Ron and Darlene Bell on their airplanes,..and they live right around Cottam area also,..thinking maybe I met Bob through some friends of mine years ago, who hold a big fly-in every September at their Farm strip right down close to me here. The name does ring a bell for sure.

I knew Bob Affleck also, who used to be from around the Harrow area,...Bob used to have an old Aeronca Champ aircraft that he had outfitted with spray gear for crop dusting. Bob had a fatal crash over near Windsor a few years back,..flying a homebuilt airplane. I have a lot of relatives around Kingsville and lived there myself for 3 years back in the early '60's,..nice little town.

Wayne , I really don't have much on details with Bob Swaddling . He has a hobby shop in Kingsville , Action Hobby ., specializing in RC planes and vehicles but also has model railroading supplies . I know him from the model railroading angle because he and I belonged to the same club , in Windsor , for a while, several years ago . He's retired from Hydro I think , and pretty low key about his other interests . I read a newspaper article about him working on some guys Spitfire or Mustang plane ...can't remember ....and when I asked him about it was " Oh , yeah , I've been working on that classic ! " ....as if it was commonplace   . As to the airstrip I don't know .

---

 That's how I know that name " Swaddling " ,...through the hobby shop,...and what a great hobby shop !! I have a buddy in Kingsville that literally lives there !!

Well congrats for selling the car ....things can be easier to deal when you have a decent car and good pictures . As for the Model A , have you been on carsonline.com ......lots for sale , one in Alberta , some in Michigan . I'm guessing you already know about that site .

 Yes teejay,...have been in there,.( prices are astronmical Stateside on those '28 /'31 cars now days ),...and I would much sooner stay within Ontario where I can get an Ontario ownership with the purchase.  

Whew!!! I am glad you sold the 54.. I can't tell you how many times I have looked at the pictures of that car.. I was getting afraid if it came here I might have to buy it.  I really don't need another vehicle. But I really liked that car. Doesn't matter I am sure we will find another excuse to for a visit.. John can pick me up and we can come tour your shop one day with coffee or go out for lunch..

Hey Wayne  don't stop now you know how stories get exaggerated my be he only had a knee done or something like that.  He could be in hardship over money and could use the money. As far as the green one goes  

Just my opinion

 Ironically tmj,..just a few minutes ago,....the owner of my old Model A contacted me ,..after seeing a picture of " His Car "  on my Kijiji add,..LMAO  his reply,...(   Hi.I own the car in the picture.Don't want to sell it but I can see why you want one like it.I enjoy it immensely.Good luck in your search. Kijiji Ad ID: 1170350242 ),...pretty ironic,....LOL.  Anyway,...I am more than happy for the guy,...that was as good a news, as had he said it was for sale,..considering what I heard about his health. I sent him back a reply,  and apologised for using his car in my ad,..sent me back a reply that " it is NO problem whatsoever,..go ahead and use the pic ",.. So the old girl isn't for sale obviously. Not a problem,..I got nothing better to do,..might just as well be building up another one !!

Wayne:  As much as I would love to have it back, I wouldn't have the heart to approach the gentleman.

I know what your saying it would feel like your trying to take advantage of the situation.. What about the person who passed that information on to you..what can he tell you about the person and are his health issues such that,  as Rick says he may need to sell the car.. If you don't make the inquiry and it got sold to somebody else just because you didn't want to offend him, that would piss you off..My thoughts are if you have a bond to the car and want it back,  if that is what you want I would go for it ..

I would be willing to make the inquiry for you if you have a way to reach the person or an address and a name..Hell I would go with you to Windsor and knock on his door to see him in person,  to see if we could buy it back for you..I think it's a perfectly acceptable goal to want to have that car back if, you in your heart want it back.. I would hate having to say down the road .." boy I wish I would have"' You hear what I am saying.. I would think if I was ill and had to sell or even if I hadn't got that far along to sell and the original owner came to inquire about the car I would not be offended..Only he knows what his plans are and how serious he is about keeping that car.. He has no blood in it at this point he has only invested money which he or his family may be in need of at this time depending on the actual seriousness of his health..

Anyway it's not any of my business, but I would hate for you miss the chance to get your cat back and I would not let my feeling of not wishing to bother him get in my way.. I sold a car once ,got it back and had to sell it again it was 10 years and I found it again ..I was very lucky but sometimes in like you get a kick in the nuts and chit happens .. Hey if you would be happy to get it back don't let emotions stop you.. If your shy I will go with you and do the talking.. I'm pretty talkative and full of hot-air and bullspit.. I am pulling for you..

Ops: Guess my post is moot ..I was typing while somebody else was too..

Agree with Chuck , there is always a way of making an inquiry and not sounding offensive . If done right , he could very well keep you in mind if and when he ever decides to sell . Look at it this way , it could give him piece of mind knowing that he isn't going to be hassling some dumb-a$$ if he advertises it on Kijiji..... better that he has a solid plan B ! JMO

 You know what they say, teejay, a good salesman can tell a guy where to go, and he'll look forward to thy trip. LOL

 

BTW Wayne, remind me to kick you right in the a$$ next time I see you for selling that car. Nice enough guy, but obviuosly, not too swift.

   LMAO,...I will do that John, if I can remember,..haha  Anyway,..I got a call from the new owner of the '54 this morning,....told me that he got it all changed over into his name yesterday,...he had time last night after work to get it all cleaned up and head out to one of the local cruise  nights near Cambridge with it,...be damned if he didn't take a best in class,..and come home with a trophy,..LMAO,..he was as happy and excited as a little kid when he was telling me about it today. It went to a good home, and to someone who appreciates it,..that's a plus !!
