Alex and Sandy need help finding a Frontenac SR overhead cam and a 1909 Phoenix rear axle for a 2 cylinder 8/10hp


We appreciate any help in tracking down a Frontenac SR overhead cam. We have attached a couple of photographs that show what we need. The cam sits on top of the towers which are part of a plate located on top of the cylinder head, and then there are the gears and chain drive on the front of the block.


That Phoenix is frustrating, since a stranger offered one years ago to Alex at Beaulieu (England vintage car swap meet)  before we found that car, when he was looking for a different Phoenix axle. Ads through the Veteran Car Club and a lot of personal inquiries to re-connect with that man have not helped. What we need is the rear axle for a chain drive 1909 2-cyl Phoenix 8/10hp.
(Alex and Sandy got this 1909 Phoenix but all there was left from a 100 years of neglect was the engine, radiator, and frame)

if you can help, or have a tip toward some source that might be able to help Alex and Sandy with their Phoenix or Frontenac, please email them at Phoenixphanciers@att.net

Kelly is curious about cars in her family's really old photo albums, can anyone identify these cars? If so, please use the comment function, or email me directly so I can thank you proper, and credit the correct people!

Nancy and Dennis were first to respond with "The first one is a home built body, not sure of the make. Second, both are post war GM, one in back is '47 Chevy. Third and fourth, '47 Chevrolet Fleetmaster and it was Easter. Fifth, definitely not a Ford! Might be a Plymouth. Last is a '41 Ford Super Deluxe with a lot of aftermarket accessories. Fog lights, bumper ends, headlight visors, spotlight, radio antenna on fender (stock is above windshield)."

 I think the car on the right is the same as the car below in the front, and rear view photos. Tom says the car on the left looks like a 41 Chev
 Just a guess that the above and below are the same car
Robert commented "2nd pic, car on the left looks like a 41 Chevy, the 4th pic looks like a 37 Plymouth"
 above is likely older than 1937, that is the year Fords started putting the headlights half into the fenders
my email is jbohjkl@yahoo.com

I'm pretty sure the bottom one is a 1940 Ford Super Delux

Help! 1934 1.5 ton dualie Chevy truck urgently needed in Tennessee


If you might be able to help us - we had a truck lined up to use for a big celebration July 25th to re-enact a visit by Eleanor Roosevelt to our community in 1934, where she spoke to the crowd from the back of a local lumber truck ---we are in a panic. The whole event's focused around the truck. Do you know anyone who has one of these that we might contact? Could you send this out to anyone else who might help? Thanks a million! They can contact Vickie at vhouston.coud@frontiernet.net
