Below is merely a sample of what this collection contained Consider this to be the tip of the iceberg.

What is pictured here is less than half of the gauges in the collection. Most of the gauges are NOS in boxes, for 1950s and 1960s model cars but some do go back into the 1940s. We have Oil, Temp, Gas and Ampmeter/Ammeter gauges. The odomoter readings on several speedos are zero or less than a few hundred. For many of these, the gauge faces are excellent. Also pictured are the many speedo cable cores and assemblies in the collection which date back to the 1930s. In addition to what is pictured here we have another set of NOS gauges, all boxed. a list of these gauges can be found at this link.

The collection of parts for automatic transmissions consists of some 200 NOS parts. A large majority of them are boxed. Parts include just about any and all wear items (like friction discs, pistons, sleeves, seals, and rings) as well as tail shafts, input shafts, pumps, valve bodies, bellhousings, tailshaft housings, and main cases. Parts for Fuild-Drive, Hy-Drive, Powerflite, and Torqueflite transmissions are included.

The parts pictured here are detailed item by item in our partial inventory.

The collection contains several hundred switches, everything from headlight, ignition, wiper, overdrive, to electric window switches. There are also several heater control items, including thermostats that fit inside heater boxes, heater control vacuum switches, and vacuum diaphams for heater/AC controls.

The collection includes a large variety of clutch and manual transmission parts from the 1940's and 1950's. Everything from torque shafts, release springs, pressure plates, and clutch discs to input shafts, input bearing retainers, main cases, gear sets, shims, and seal kits. Pictured here is a small part of the collection of clutch and manual transmission parts. We still have to catalog most of the internal manual transmission parts and tailshafts.

The collection includes lots of NOS body pieces including (but not limited to) fenders, complete doors, door skins, hoods, trunks, valance panels, filler panels, and smaller items like bumper brackets, license plate brackets, hood hinges, door hinges, latches, and window regulators.

The collection includes a tremendous variety of interior parts. Everything from carpet kits, rubber mats, sunvisors, and steering wheels, to radio knobs, door pulls, and gauges. Pictured at left are radio bezels & plates, dash trim, ash trays, and rubber pedals covers. We have barely begun to catalog these items.

The collection includes a large number of brake parts from the 1940s-1950s, including wheel cylinders, backing plates, brake hoses (rubber and steel), power boosters, and drums. Picture at left shows the 17 NOS brake drums. Several of the drums still have the part number painted on them. The pictures may give the impression that they are rusted, but they not.
