That was an enjoyable view. I've bought some new repro parts from Bruce from time to time, spring shackle bolts and the like - he's a great source for some of those parts for the 33-34 cars. If you have one of those models you should check and see what he has available. And those who saw his 33 Eight convertible coupe at Hershey last year should remember it as a stunning and correct-as-can-be restoration.

Some day I'll have to ask Bruce why he keeps referring to his cars as "Standard Eights" (or perhaps standard Eights); the prefix "Standard" as part of the model name for the smaller of the two 8s was dropped after 1932, those models becoming simply the "Eight" for 33-36.
