[AMC-List] Firestone

["Mahoney, John" <jmahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since I spent Thanksgiving in CA, last weekend was spent in NY doing <ugh> last minute Christmas shopping.  Monday, I went to a taping of the "Martha" show (Renee plugged her CD and [tonight's] PBS "double-header" [Mormon Tabernacle at 8; Mainz Cathedral at 9]) and was stunned to see the domestic ex-felon do a segment on tire inflation!  Who knew?  What next?  "Pimpin' Cars Classically"?  May or may not be a good thing.

installed the Hemi and the wiring but wants to french the headlights
and can't use the original headlight rims from the Hudson as they are
pot metal. I;ve learned the some customizers have used the 52/53 Ford
hieadlight rims, but so far he can't find any. Does anyone on this list
jave a set of these rims ?  Or.....can you suggest an alternate rim ??

A very economical choice today comes from the Corinthian period:

(And then he might be able to call is car a "Hudson Barcelona" also...)

Speaking of which, did anyone here discuss/investigate these eBay cars?

'81 "Concord Barcelona" offered by a seller in, of all places, Kenosha.  Item number: 170049752878.  Hmmm; the only one with leather upholstery? 
and an "almost fully restored" Gremlin (260052304936); by "experienced, knowledgeable and professional classic car restorers" in Texas.  With sails-n-seats just like AMC built 'em, then, eh?

Would it not be neat to have an AMC meet in a large
park with plenty of room and low-traffic streets,
where owners could let others borrow their cars to see
how they drive?

An LA friend does something somewhat similar: he and a dozen or so old car owners go "low-speed" cruising up in the hills.  They -never- drive fast --- so their caravan cannot be infiltrated by potential incautious drivers --- and they sometimes switch off driving each -others'- vehicles.  Fact that all their cars are valuable (or that they're all millionaires?) may make the equation work, but the result is fun on Sunday mornings.
