hello,

can someone please describe for me what it is like to drive a car with T/L suspension.

It sounds fantastic to me. I have no experience and wonder if it is a noticeable improvement......
would love to hear other people opinion who have first hand experience.

thanks
tim

For the last few days I have been puttering around with my 1952 200.
I noticed the passenger vent wing window has a long crack.

And about 2 years ago when I parked the car after a drive I rolled the drivers door window up and it had a new crack.

Is it normal for this old glass to start cracking?
I thought maybe the door glass cracked because someone was looking at the car and slammed the door......
(I try never to close the door hard with the window down)
these cracks just appeared...

thanks for your advice,tim

wow, a new switch is like $150.00. core charge $75.00.
when I get the switch apart I can see about the clip for the end of the shaft. this will be interesting.....

thanks for the tip ross, sounds like good advice.
God only knows how long it will take me to complete this task......LOL
the funny part of this is every year since I have hadthis car when I need to get my safety inspection I am delayed by necessary repairs. .......LOL.
thanks all for your help and advice
tim

the length of the shaft in the photo is flat and the rest is round.

Attached is the knob from the light switch on the dash panel of my 1952 200.
I started the car yesterday to take for a drive around the neighborhood. as I always do I start the car and while she is warming up I check all lights, signal, switches, horn etc.... hi beam switch and so on
about the third time I pulled the light switch it just kept coming out (LOL).
it was actually very funny. Ha Ha,
but now how do I get it back together?
I looked through this site ,but have not found any help.
Does anyone have any experience with this repair?

thanks
tim

welcome.
if you floor the accelerator while moving it will not engage the starter.
it is a lot of fun when younger people are admiring the car and I hand them the keys and say " here you go. start it up"
I have never found anyone who can start it. it is a lot of fun and the younger crowd enjoys learning about how older cars start......
welcome and enjoy your new car. post some pics.
aloha
