HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This picture was taken in September 2017 in front of the ACD Museum in Auburn, Indiana. This car was built here in 1932, 86 years ago!
I am making a few "Updates" here to the site. Thanks for following along!

While driving the car this Fall, I noticed a significant loss of oil pressure.(from 30, down to around 7 psi) I removed the Oil Pump, and it seemed to be fine. I then started looking at the Main bearings and discovered this damage to the Bearings. The Crankshaft Journals seem fine (still in the engine at this time) so I am glad that I stopped driving it before having a costly catastrophic failure. There was debris in the Oil pan.
