    ^^ Are those Rudge wheels? Never saw a Facel that didn't have wire wheels before (not that I've seen a lot of them I guess). Those alone have to be pretty valuable.

    You need to use the Chrome browser for that option to be automatically included in the menu.

    my neighbor had the 1915 DB used by Gen. Backjack Pershing when he was chasing Pancho Villa, documented by the Smithsonian. I dont know where it went when he died
     
  10. Are you posting on the correct thread ? @crashfarmer has a new thread regarding a antique Dodge.

    You might need to install an "extension" app:

    1. Click "Safari" up there in the left corner, then select "Safari Extensions" from the drop-down menu
    2. When the window pops up, type "Reverse Image Search" and hit "return"
    3. I chose "ImageSearch for Safari" - choose "Get" then "Install"
    4. When the window pops up, select the thing and give it "permissions"

    5. use the "control" button when you click and then "search google" in the little dropdown menu.
    6. Profit!

    Rudge is Right! I think they were standard on this car -- not sure. I've heard that you could get what I paid for the car for a set of them now. I wanted a hemi model, but this 1959 had a 383" Chrysler in it. With Offenhouser valve covers on it that sure looked out of place. A couple of years after the $199,000 auction sale it was listed by a well-known import dealer for $175,000. Ouch! The guy that bought it for 199+ musta took it real bad in the shorts 'cause the dealer offering it had to make a a nice profit on it.
