Re: 1953 California 4AD
Congrats Avery. I wonder if your Grandfather belonged to the original Singer Owners Club. It was in full swing between 1952 and 1956. Things tapered off soon after with the lack of parts as well as some members being drafted.

Re: 1953 California 4AD
The original bill of sale is dated 1953. It looks like he finished paying for it in 1955 and that terminated his contract with the vendor at that time.

That's certainly the easiest way. My Nine Sports primes easily that way. My Le Mans does not

No, it's the pre war 6 cylinder sports or Le Mans variety.

Re: Le Mans recreation
The best way is to disconnect the pipe at the top of the pump. It is a tight fit to get a wrench in behind the radiator, so I cut one in half to do the job.

I assume the California sunshine took its toll on the paint fairly quickly. Certainly appears to be an original colour. FYI, it is Coronation Blue, in honour of Queen Elizabeth ascending the throne.

Re: 1953 California 4AD
I wouldn't get too hung up on those components. It's not a vintage Bentley. They won't really affect the value of the car. Re the wiring harness, they are available in original format, so you might find it easier to use than starting from scratch. Throttle cable won't make a difference either. There...

Re: Singers on Video: Hudson and Merrickville Car Shows...
Mike Vaughan didn't actually do any of that themselves. They didn't even do dealer prep. Monroe Gretske, General Manager of Vaughan Singer Motors in Hollywood, originally approached Al Moss of Moss Motors to do his dealer prep. Moss didn't have much time for Gretske and certainly didn't want to be i...
