Just back from Hershey
Heart felt thanks to Karen and Tom Edmonds for putting me up and putting up with me during the event. I was going to sleep in my truck. That's what I like about our club, we take care of each other.
This was my first time, what an experience! My body aches from all the walking, but I can't wait until next year! The cars, the parts, the people, what a gathering of information.
Thanks again Tom & Karen

Levi has crank hole cover on Ebay 170391537762 Says its the last of his 1930 Deluxe coup parts.

I think a lad in Thunder Bay has my light doors but hes way to expensive for his parts. 280401912902 and 280401926038 at $300 Canadian each. Door's look idential to mine. If the 9 3/4 he mentions is door width then I think the lenses are #11471 at 9 5/16 used on Dominion Motors cars 31 / 32 Durant / Fronty, where as Durant Motors cars used 9 7/16. These 11471 lenses are on Ebay and flea markets in the $20 range, constantly. Fit a number of cars / trucks 28 - 32. Why we used smaller lights ??? Like Frank mentioned in another forum each plant seemed to use different parts for same model.

I know about the crank hole cover, I've put in two bids but have not reached his reserve price yet. Do you know what the reserve price is?

Hi All...

Great time at Hershey. Thanks to all the DMAC members who stopped by to talk and share stories.

Thanks to Arthur Roberts for sharing his booth space with us.

We met people from all over the world. Who had Durant products.

Signed up 5 new members, even a fellow from the Netherlands.

Spent time on Saturday in Lancaster, PA working on locations for the 2010 National meet.

Frank, et al;
Just got in tonight at 6PM, 2800 miles and 9 days! Yes it was a great time at Hershey! Wish I could have seen you as well as seeing Gary and Art, and some others on my two stops at the booth. My buddy and I enjoyed visiting.

My buddy and I were parked about 3 miles away from the club booth and our Motel was also in Lancaster (about 20 miles away in the SW direction). "This was the nearest we could get even at a month out"! So it was hard to get over often to the booth----Hershey is a HUGE event.

I made many contacts however did not find any 20's Loco parts! But I passed on the sellers booth location for 3 or 4 Boyce MotoMeter Rad ornaments to Gary for the Star (1), Durant (2) and Flint (I think?).

I have the seller's card info if anyone wants a original correct Boyce Motometer for their car; Nice shape at about $100 to $200 depending on condition & detailing. No other Club parts spotted in all our travels to all the fields & vendors.

Again I wish I could have seen you Frank again and talked to you about the club and the Durant & Locomobile brands. Maybe we can add "Locomobile" to the Club banner and make it more prominent in the newsletter to attract "New" interest. Looking forward to the Durant Eastern Meet and the next Hershey!!

Hi Rory ... No I have no idea what his reserve is. Last email with Levi he is looking for door and trunk V (spear) handles but sends me a pic of what the handles look like on his drivers door. Perhaps he only needs passenger door one, as drivers seems fine to me. I said everyone is looking for V handles. Unfortunately I have now deleted the mails, so can't give you his addy.

I tried to add to my forum after posting but it said there was something wrong with the site. You mention tail light lenses and there seem to be two sources for repro beehive ones we have. This sale has ended I see 180415853479 but he usually has them on in pairs constantly. You could still reach him though the send seller a message or Jon & Joyce Oliver via ollie@buckeyeinternet.com. He does plain and Dodge monogram. I got a pair a couple of plain two years back and they seem fine to me. Other source is the Butters lads but I have tried to get one with the Durant monogram. I still have the email which started in Dec 2006 with Neil and he was going to try to have some made up. April 7 to meet with them at Stirling Ont flea market May 8 2007. April 8 2007 I will try to get some made up in the future. Chased again Mar 2008 and no reply. Couldn't find them vending at Stirling 2007, 08 or 09 nor could a few lads I knew. Yet the ad is in Partner for lense and castings.
