It's easy to see that is The Gabe checking out Georges good deal stuff for sale down on the asphalt parking lot at the ACD flea mkt.

Now it was a funny thing one year I figured I will be the first one up and get a prime location. That was at 6:45 AM boy was I wrong the fleas were out, I said to an early flea what time did you get here his reply was 5:45, and I replied I just saw you on the square his reply was who sleeps at Auburn. The early bird does get the worm. So for your info George Arakelian was that early flea, Bill Driest slept there in his \motor home, how sweet is that.
That picture is great of a past D owner, how would you like to arrive in his speedster, I bet Al Ferrara loves Mr Gables car ever moment he drives it. I know I would, who needs a passport anyway!

How early? At the Auburn Inn, they usually don't bring me my coffee until 9:15 am.

It is certainly open to our members for a fee for vendors that is of coarse first come first served. A must if you are looking for that needed part for your loved one. Anybody is welcomed to purchase from your table free of charge a benefit to our membership. A little history about the market it started from some of our member selling parts from the trunk of there car at Friday evening on the square. Then a group of members got together and decided the following year to sell in a group at curb side. Then came Glenn Pray, Eric Cain, and I think Stan. Then it kind of drizzled out. Than in 1984 the board took the bull by the horns and organized it and its been by the Museum every since. What a great happening it certainly draws the attention of all ACD members and non members in attendance. You can truly find that long sort after part. I have no question about that. Make sure you get there early, real early no kidding.

When I spoke of the "Woods" I was referring to the wooded vendor area at the Kruse Auction property. I travel with a pet and am not too excited about leaving her out in the sun down in the flats area. Then again I travel with a rather good sized solar panel or two and in full sun... powering my import DC powered radiator fan... I can nearly take a finger off with the power created. And don't listen to the oil people... my one 90watt solar power kicks out some serious power, enough to run my laptop, a small tv, and a pigtail flourscent bulb at night off of batteries... did this for 2 years straight. Anyway I guess I'll be down in the flats baking in the sun.
As per the ACD vendor swap... is this different from the large vendor area that surrounds the Kruse Complex ?
Mr Ethan Turner.... fyi your photo does not show.

The "screw style post" style was also used by ford as an accessory item in about 1936, and they sell in the $300 neighborhood... eitherway they don't look too functional that's for sure. Also the Crosley used the "screw post" as well. This is the first time I've heard of the Cord using a "screw post". More info gained... thanks again.
Hey Bail'n Wire... your video is a real hoot...! Was watching your youtube vid and on the same page was a ad for a new electric powered jack. Their sales motto is "Over Time Things Get Better"............... Ha Ha Ha ............

As mentioned making a ID Guide will have a few "grey areas". As a talented freelance graphic designer once told me when I was getting my start in the art department... he said he always tackled the tough jobs first leaving "the easy" to be tacked on at the end. The Fords Mopars and GM's will be easy.
Mike... Yes, I expect to find all sorts of jacks at Auburn this year. FYI... just recently the folks over at the Packard Club put together a very extensive booklet on the "tools" used by Packed from the early years up thru the final years... an excellent extensive work of research.
I hope to be getting a vendor spot in the woods area for Auburn and will bring a few restored generic jacks along for sale.
Keep the Wealth of Knowledge Flowing....

They are very unusual and they?re so many different types. There are bumper jacks, ratchet jacks, small bottle jacks and it goes on forever. They are sold as, ?IT CAME OUT OF of a 1930?s Whatablubber?, heck it could have been put in the jack recess sixty years ago.
The only jack I have that was factory marked was a GMC from the teens that had the raised letter script in the casting.
The jack I would like to see you picture is the threaded rod one that was supposedly factory stock for the Cord 812. I found one for 500$ and the seller wanted a thousand. Gimme a break. It really will not jack the car from the bumper, as it will bend the brackets before the car gets off the ground. It looks very cool in the trunk though at the show.
The only ones I ever saw were at the Auburn meet. Maybe someone could post a picture of a stock 810 threaded bumper jack with some measurements.
The best way to jack these low sitting cars up is with a rolling hydraulic floor jack, nowadays they are everywhere for small change and they will get down to less than four inches.
A heavy scissors jack from a WWII era military one will get under a low slung axel to change a tire without damaging anything and can be carried in the trunk.
The best way to handle this would be to have an original era jack, such as the heater was an aftermarket item purchased and installed at your local filling station.

I like a good challenge.... and finding the original jacks for the Auburns, Cords, and Duesenbergs is going to be a journey. I like journeys and here we go; was at the 2007 Auburn Festival (was my first time ever visit) and it was a real hoot...! I met some really fine folks at the museum, but they could not find any illustrations of original jacks in any of their parts manuals.
So here's a few questions please:
1 ) Did some/most/all/none of the ACD cars come from the factory with jacks ?
2 ) Has anyone done any research already on OEM jacks ?
3 ) If I can make it to Auburn this year would you be willing to pop your trunk and let me get a photograph of your car's jack ?
Thank you in advance for any help or any productive directions you may provide.
