1940s Chevy Dealer re-opens to Auction off 500 Time Capsule Cars
http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/0...-capsule-cars/
Car collectors dream about finding a forgotten “new” classic car, discovered in a barn or warehouse somewhere, covered in dust. This is that dream, only 500 times better…. A small-town Midwestern dealership in Pierce, Nebraska sold Chevrolets to local families and first-time buyers for 50 years until it’s husband and wife team finally closed their doors seventeen years ago. Since then, a staggering inventory of 500 surviving cars, new & used, have been stored away, undriven for decades. Some 50 cars “brand new” Chevrolets from the 1950s and 60s have less than 10 miles on the odometer. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht are now in their 90s and have made what is described by their daughter Jeannie, as a “a difficult and painful” decision, to liquidate the dealership’s massive inventory of ‘survivor vehicles’. On September 28th and 29th, 2013, VanDerBrink Auctions will have the honor of selling this incredible, once in a lifetime collection of American automotive history. |

The first car I drove regularly (parents' beater) was a '73 Vega. Took me six months to destroy it. The first car I personally owned was a '77 Monza. That one lasted a bit longer, although it picked a rather inauspicious time to die - exactly midway between Norfolk and Missouri, when I was an e-nothing in the Navy and didn't have a pot to piss in. Ended up selling it to a local mechanic for $100 and a ride to the bus station. |

You are thing to have to basically tell someone what you want but caster isn't a wear angle so it really doesn't matter as long as they get the camber and toe set to factory specs and set caster to somewhere along the lines I laid out you will be fine. Hope it cures your issues Posted via Mobile Device |

Isn't that the guy that loads his shop with those freeloadin' Mexicans? I wouldn't even trust him to change a side mirror...

It would be almost impossible. I'm almost positive that's what is wrong with your car. Like 99.99, sure. Take it somewhere else. Hell when they get it on the machine call me and we can talk numbers and you can tell the guy where you want it. Or take a little ride down here and we will fix it our at least figure out what went wrong. In a car like that camber should be easy. Like real easy. Then its just moving shims from one side to the other to get caster, but if that's not possible due to the amount of shims Posted via Mobile Device |

You will never get caster close.
Offset control arm shafts could be in your future. Posted via Mobile Device |

Something can't be "right" in that suspension though to have those issues.
