Who founded the Greatest Luxury Cars in America's history?

Henry Leland founded the Cadillac Motor Car Company, turning out his first automobile in 1903. In 1909, he sold the company to General Motors.

1909 Cadillac Model 30

He was turned down by GM to build Liberty aero engines during World War I. 

His favorite President had been Abraham Lincoln. Thus, in 1917, at the age of 74, Leland founded the Lincoln Motor Company to build those engines.  This was the birth of the second of America's greatest luxury cars. After World War I, Henry Leland resumed building cars. He had his first Lincoln model on the road by 1921.

1921 Lincoln Model L

Thus Cadillac and Lincoln were founded by the same man.

Classic Car Buyers Beware!

6 indicted in Internet-based car-selling scheme

 This is off the Los Angeles AP 12/29/11

I found this article and wanted to share it with my Classic Car friends: 

--

A federal grand jury indicted six foreign nationals on charges that they defrauded hundreds of customers out of more than $4 million in bogus Internet car sales, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

The 24-count indictment returned Wednesday alleges a scheme in which vehicles were offered for sale on legitimate websites that deal in auto trading, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office.

The six defendants — from Germany, Russia, Romania and Latvia — are accused of collecting payments from hundreds of would-be buyers nationwide, siphoning millions of dollars to Europe and never delivering a vehicle, the indictment said.

Authorities identified the alleged leaders of the scam as Corneliu Stefan Weikum, 37, a Romanian national, and Yulia Meshina-Heffron, 23, a native of Yekaterinberg, Russia. Both are in federal custody in Nevada on charges related to bulk cash smuggling.

Weikum monitored the fraudulent bank accounts to determine if funds had been deposited, the indictment said. The money was then withdrawn — primarily in cash — and delivered to Weikum and Mishina. The two then allegedly wired the money from the United States to other countries, mailed the funds in concealed packages to Berlin, or concealed the funds in personal carry-on luggage while traveling to Germany, according to the indictment.

At least 110 bank accounts were opened to fraudulently receive the funds, according to the indictment. From September 4, 2007 until October 5, 2010, victims deposited at least $4 million into the accounts.

"This case demonstrates our ability to track down even the most sophisticated fraud artist who attempted to hide behind false identities and the perceived anonymity of the Internet," said U.S. Atty. André Birotte Jr.

The defendants face charges including conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud and money laundering. If convicted, each could face sentences totaling hundreds of years in federal prison.

American Classic by Stan Smith

The Eight Cylinder du Pont

Posted on December 27, 2011 by David Greenlees

The Old Motor

1930 DuPont Model G Le Mans Speedster

 

 

 

 

We recently reviewed a great new book on an American Classic that was worthy of having it’s story told. Stan Smith has expended much time and effort on his very detailed new book on the eight cylinder du Pont. We are going to show you a few details of some of the cars and information he has included in the hard-covered book.
The earlier cars made starting in 1921 were powered by both four and six-cylinder engines. In 1928 the firm chose an l-head Continental straight-engine which they used in the Dupont thru 1932. The chassis design was conventional for the time and at first was equipped with a three speed transmission, with a four speed was available soon after.

1929 Du Pont G

The bodies for the early cars were provided by the well known firms of Merrimac and Waterhouse and were very exclusive looking designs. The car we have chosen to show here was the sportiest car in the line-up and was called the 2-Passenger Speedster. It was the first of eleven built in total and was shown at the New York Auto Show January 5-12, 1929. It was painted Bon Soir Grey, carried black leather upholsery, chrome plated wire-wheels, Balcrank bumpers and the attractive Woodlite brand of headlight pictured above. The photos were taken by John Adams Davis on Sutton Place in NYC for publicity purposes.
The book includes 120 pages, with factory photos showing the 1928-1932 period duPont cars, along with in-depth descriptions of each body type offered. Includes an index of all 200 produced by serial number. Each limited edition book is numbered and signed. $100.00 each which includes shipping. “THE EIGHT CYLINDER duPont” by Stan Smith e-mail: stan@myersmith.com.

Get the Lead Out! While you are at it Get the Asbestos and Bromine Out!

Toxic Hazards In Classic Cars
by Brian Turner  brian.turner752@gmail.com  -- Wed, Dec 21, 2011


Many people have a genuine passion for classic cars and vintage automobiles. Most people have an appreciation for old cars, and for the history and nostalgia they represent. Classic car owners often go to great lengths to restore and preserve the appearance and function of their automobiles. Many are unaware, however, that their automotive treasures harbor hidden dangers: numerous toxic hazards that can negatively impact their physical and mental health.

Asbestos Exposure

When it comes to toxic hazards in classic cars, an asbestos threat is the most obvious concern. A natural fibrous mineral known for its heat- and fire-resistant properties, asbestos was used for decades as an industrial additive in the manufacturing of automotive parts. Brake pads, brake linings, clutch components, hood liners, gaskets, valves, and other automotive parts commonly contained asbestos.

The United States federal government began regulating and banning asbestos use in the late 1970s, when asbestos was deemed a toxin. While most manufacturers stopped using the substance by the early 1980s, many older vehicles still contain asbestos. This is especially true for vintage automobiles, like antique cars and classic models.

Prolonged exposure to asbestos poses a serious health concern. The toxin is linked to the development of numerous respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Classic car owners, automotive service technicians, and auto body restoration specialists are especially vulnerable to illness. While the latency period is significantly long, even decades, the mesothelioma survival rate is extremely low.

Lead Exposure

Lead is another common toxin hidden away in classic automobiles. Formerly used in automotive paints, lead may still be present on the body of classic cars. Hobbyists and body shop repair workers must use extra caution when stripping old paint from old cars.

If lead in the paint dust becomes inhaled or swallowed, or if it comes into contact with skin, it can cause serious health problems. Memory and thought impairment, along with other central nervous system disorders, are commonly associated with lead exposure. The toxin can also affect muscles, joints, blood pressure, and reproductive function.

Bromine Exposure

Classic cars can also hide toxic bromine, a chemical usually found in car interiors. The plastic and vinyl parts inside the cabin -- on the seats, headrest, armrests, floor, and dashboard -- may contain bromine and other dangerous chemicals. Short-term exposure can cause nose, mouth, and throat irritations. Prolonged bromine exposure is linked to memory impairment, learning disabilities, breathing difficulties, and kidney damage.

A Bull Story

Thanks to a Utah convenience store's contest, Frito-Lay truck driver David Dopp won another set of wheels last Saturday: this lime-green, 631-hp Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640, worth at least $200,000. Such an awesome car that will...oops, he already wrecked it.


Just a few hours after getting the keys to the V-12 powered Italian supercar named for a famed Spanish fighting bull, Dopp took to the roads around his home in Santaquin, Utah. According to In Santaquin News, police were called about dusk after a witness spotted the all-wheel-drive Lambo bass-ackwards in a field, with skidmarks from where it left the road.
Dopp -- who had apparently already taken one call from the local police about takin' it easy before going off-road -- says he was going about 40 mph to 50 mph on a 35-mph road when he hit a patch of what he called black ice or gravel. The police report says the car went over a curb, off the road and 75 feet into the field, calling the accident "speed related."

The Murcielago is now bound for Las Vegas, where mechanics will calculate a repair estimate on the busted oil pan and damaged bumper. Dopp, who has insurance, says the day was "an emotional roller coaster." If you mess with a bull, don't be surprised when you get the horns.

The Jensen Revival

19 December 2011

A Bridge to Jensen: historic workshop acquisition consolidates the marque’s revival

Gama Cars Limited, the Oxfordshire-based company which has been playing a pivotal role in the resurgence of both the Jensen brand and one of its best known models, the Interceptor, has recently acquired Cropredy Bridge Garage.

The high standards of mechanical, bodywork, servicing and restoration work carried out by Gama Cars on the top-of-the-range Interceptor R model now apply to the whole Jensen range, thanks to Cropredy Bridge Garage’s forty years of specialist expertise, history and enthusiasm for the Jensen marque.

Whilst Gama Cars has been building a modern interpretation of Jensen’s grand tourer of the ‘70s by upgrading original Interceptors on behalf of Jensen International Automotive, Cropredy Bridge Garage has been the UK centre of excellence for straightforward restoration work on all Jensen cars (including Interceptors, C-V8s and 541s) since 1972.

‘We already had a close relationship with Cropredy Bridge Garage, because of the workshop’s facilities and skilled staff,’ says Matt Watts, Managing Director of Gama Cars Limited. ‘When the opportunity arose, it made sense to incorporate it into the business and offer the entire range of services, larger facilities and combined expertise to our Jensen customers.  We look forward to ensuring we are the marque’s beacon in the UK and abroad.’   

Cropredy Bridge Garage is well known to both Jensen owners and marque enthusiasts. Apart from catering for all mechanical, bodywork, servicing and parts needs, it also offers a selection of carefully maintained Jensen models for sale, as well as providing concierge service to those who wish to acquire a specific Jensen. Alternatively, one can be built to individual specifications, thanks to a close partnership with JIA, the company which launched the Interceptor R in January 2011.

Gama Cars Limited is a specialist in modernising and restoring prestige cars: skilled technicians carry out engine enhancement, brake and mechanical upgrades, bespoke bodywork and restoration services. Now with extra heritage.

What has Audi been up to!



Donkervoort D8 GTO 2012-13  Concept

The devotees have been waiting anxiously. Now it’s here!

After two and a half years of development Donkervoort Automobielen in Lelystad - in close collaboration with Audi Quattro GmbH - has presented the next generation of open sports cars: the Donkervoort GTO. A combination of beautiful shape, the latest auto techniques and the ultimate experience. With a capacity of 340 to 400 HP and a torque of 450 Nm from about 1600 RPMs. And all this with a total weight of around 700 kilos. Without a doubt one of the fastest sports cars on the European market. And, with the first private preview for Donkervoort Ambassadors from all over Europe, received so enthusiastically that within a few hours approximately half of the first 25 specially designed GTOs were sold. The GTO is clearly a size larger than its predecessors, the closed GT and the open D8 270RS. About 35 centimetres longer and 15 centimetres wider, to be exact. Necessary to accommodate the massive, longitudinally placed, five cylinder 340 hp 2.5 TFSI Audi motor and at the same time realise an astonishing balance in the design. The GTO is therefore a brand-new designed car. Only sharing 5% of the parts with the D8 270RS and about 30% with the much more recent GT. A milestone in the 34-year history of Donkervoort. With techniques directly derived from the aviation and aerospace industry. The first in a new generation of Donkervoort automobiles, according to Joop Donkervoort. The reason he also put the chassis number back to ‘0’ starting with the GTO. The first 25 specially designed GTOs are also equipped with a 2.5 TFSI motor, which is 30 kg lighter than the standard Audi variant. Joop Donkervoort about this: ‘This weight savings is obtained by redesigning several accessory parts of the motor together with the Audi technicians. For example, amongst others a new intake manifold was developed. Because the intake follows a more favourable route through the motor area it is not only lighter, but has a favourable effect on the achievements of the motor as well. The dashboard in this design of the GTO is equipped with a special race module switch, which can increase the capacity from 340 to 400 HP at once. Connected to this is another Donkervoort novelty: the first car from Lelystad that has ‘traction control’ on board. Only for when it is raining of course.’ But this too does not end the renewal of the GTO. By joining the steel tubular frame with large carbon composite panels with glue, a unique combination of (significantly increased) rigidity and ultra-light weight was created. The carriage work also consists completely of carbon composite with as unique invention a one piece door (including integrated hinges), which can withstand a sideways blow of about 1500 kilos and of which the hinges can withstand a force of more than 1100 kilos .... with a total weight of only 980 gramms!! A technique derived from the aviation industry and never before applied in a car. Which is also true for the locking devices of the aluminium bonnet. Derived from the American rocket industry, where low weight, easy operation and smooth finishing - just like at Donkervoort - are of essential importance. In addition the undercarriage of the car has been thoroughly revised, the front axle has been equipped with a totally new anti-roll bar and the rear axle construction - to give the GTO extra stability - has a completely new design. Donkervoort stands for experience, and that term has received a new meaning with the GTO. Tests with the first sample have incontrovertibly proven this. Even though it appears this car is amazingly well manageable. The production of the new car starts in 2012, whereby it is expected that the first specially designed GTOs will be delivered in the summer. The first ‘regular’ versions are expected on the European roads starting in 2013.

Do you love Classic Cars? What about the Jaguar?



1953 Jaguar C Type

 The Jaguar C-Type was produced from 1951 to 1953 with an estimated 54 being produced. After a team of Jaguar XK 120C, the 'C' representing 'competition', vehicles had an excellent showing at LeMans, William Lyons commissioned a car to be built that could contend for the overall victory. Malcom Sayer designed the aerodynamic body and Bob Knight was responsible for the lightweight, multi-tubular, and triangulated frame. The body panels were constructed of aluminum. The mechanical components borrow heavily from the Jaguar XK120. Under the bonnet was a modified twin-cam, straight six engine. Horsepower had been increased from 160 to 205. All non-essential items were removed in an effort to reduce the overall weight. Nearly a thousand pounds was shed.

Later versions of the C-Type received extra modifications including disc brakes, reduced weight, and engine improvements. The engine was fitted with twin-choke Weber carburetors and high-lift camshafts.

The Jaguar C-Type made its LeMans debut in 1951. When the checkered flag dropped, it was a C-Type driven by Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead in first place. This is an astonishing accomplishment and a true testament to the capability of the car and drivers. The legendary Stirling Moss was also driving a C-Type but unfortunately was forced to retire prematurely due to mechanical difficulties.

In 1953 a modified C-Type repeated its accomplishment by winning again at LeMans. It was driven by Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt.

What do you know about Fuel Additives?

November 17, 2011

View larger images

Last month, an HVA e-news article entitled A Comparative Evaluation of Prevention of Gasohol Phase Separation by Fuel Additives generated a significant number of questions from readers interested in finding out more about how they can protect their engines from ethanol fuel damage.  We put some of these questions to the author, Benjamin Kellogg, who offered his response.

Benjamin Kellogg of South Texas became interested in historic vehicles through his family’s collection of old cars, which include a 1943 WWII Jeep and 6x6, light armored 1943 M8 Greyhound.  Regular maintenance and engine repair has long been a hobby for Kellogg and his father, who last year began wondering if fuel additives might help combat the inherent problems attributed to the ethanol fuel that had arrived at local gas stations.  With an equal passion for chemistry and access to a lab at his school, Kellogg decided to find out. 

With the help of a local high school chemistry teacher, Kellogg designed a simple water titration study to objectively test the effect of the additives on phase separation.

Last month, HVA e-news republished the resulting article from those tests, which originally appeared in the Fall 2011 issue of Army Motors.  If you didn’t catch the piece, A Comparative Evaluation of Prevention of Gasohol Phase Separation by Fuel Additives, click on the story link and then take a moment to see Benjamin Kellogg’s answers to some of the most frequently asked questions sent in from HVA members.

What is the baseline dehydration (life) for the gas we used five years ago?
Kellogg: How long pure gasoline can be stored varies from a few months to a few years depending on the type of gasoline—aviation gas, for instance, is supposed to last longer—and the storage conditions (cooler is better). Predicting how long it will “last” is difficult because it is hard to know how long the gasoline has been stored at the gas station.  The biggest problems with storing pure gasoline are: evaporation of lighter hydrocarbons; hydrocarbon oxidation; and ultimately formation of “varnish-like” gum deposits.  It is difficult to tell if evaporation has happened by simple inspection of a gasoline sample, but gasoline turns progressively darker as it oxidizes.  When gum forms, small pieces can be seen in a sample.  Gasohol is less stable than pure gasoline because ethanol will absorb water from the air, thus gasohol can be contaminated much more easily than pure gasoline. It is said that gasohol can be stored for up to six months, but I have not tested this.  Water absorption by gasohol is the problem addressed by the Eastwood fuel additives that I tested.


What is the impact of other fuel stabilizers (i.e. Sea Foam, Sta-Bil, Sta-Bil Marine, etc.)?
Kellogg: While I have not tested these products, they are supposed to reduce the risk of phase separation in the same way as the Eastwood products in my study.  Sta-Bil claims to have the same effects on phase separation that the Eastwood products have but, again, I have not tested Sta-Bil.  Both Sta-Bil and Sea Foam are mixtures of different hydrocarbons than the Eastwood product I tested.  Sta-Bil contains only one active hydrocarbon agent, while Sea Foam and the Eastwood products each contain three active hydrocarbon agents (although they are completely different agents).  Since the three products are all chemically unique, knowing which is superior would require a new comparative study.
What do your results show if the amounts of fuel additive are exceeded?
Kellogg: If the recommended amounts of fuel additive are exceeded, it seems likely that the amount of water that could be retained in solution before phase separation happened would increase in direct proportion to the excess amount of fuel stabilizer used.  I suspect that the recommended amount of stabilizer is based on the amount of water that would be expected to be absorbed in six months of storage.



 At what point would increased dosage become ineffective?
Kellogg: When the concentration of the additive became so high that the combustibility of the gasohol was decreased, the additive could be considered to be ineffective at preserving the fuel. Also, if the concentration of the additive in the gasohol ever exceeded the ability of the gasoline to dissolve the additive, the additive might phase separate from the gasohol and become ineffective.  But since they are both hydrocarbons, I doubt that would happen in actual use.



Can you reference any studies about whether hot weather has any impact on fuel component performance?
Kellogg: I live in south Texas, so doing something with heat and gasohol stability would be useful; however, my chemistry teacher and I decided heating gasohol in the chemistry lab could have a bad outcome so we only cooled it.

Reader note: What’s your experience?  Have you tried fuel additives in the engine of your historic vehicle and, if so, did they work?  Please share your experience with  All About Detail-Classic Car Brokers on our Facebook page.

Are there any other studies you are working on?
Kellogg: I started a project for the Military Vehicle Preservation Association’s Army Motors magazine to look at the effect of DOT 3 versus DOT 5 brake fluid on natural rubber and synthetic rubber that has been going on for almost a year.  I have not yet analyzed the data, but results will be coming soon.If the two additives [tested] are chemically identical, why didn’t you continue with your test to determine if doubling the dose of each additive on its own resulted in the same increase of water retention as the combined effect revealed?
Kellogg: Doubling the concentration of each additive would be a logical follow-up experiment, but as this was not tested, a direct conclusion cannot be reached; however, based on chemical principles, doubling the amount of fuel additive should double the amount of water that could be absorbed before phase separation happens.  But, again, the experiment has not been done so one cannot be sure.
If doubling the dose resulted in increased retention of water in E10, would increasing the dosage continue to increase the effect?
Kellogg: Based on principles of chemistry, there should be a direct relationship between the amount of additive used and the amount of water retained so that doubling, tripling, etc. the amount of additive should double, triple, etc. the amount of water retained.
