So next weekend is a local prewar car Show and I want to take my dads 1927 Victoria coupe. The car has been sitting on jack stands for 10 years. I want to be able to at least drive it up on the trailer so I can take it to the show. Today I changed the engine oil, filled the transmission and differential with 140 gear oil. I also bought a new battery for it.
On the steering gear box and behind the backing plates and other places are some zerks that I have not seen before. I think they are a gear oil type zerk is that correct? I’m going to dig around the shop and see if my brother and I can find the correct tool to fill these areas. Dad passed 5 years ago and there are corners of the shop we have not been in since.
I’m going to put some gas into it tomorrow, luckily the tank was drained when it was put away 10 Years ago. I’m think it will start right up, I hope so anyway.
So I am also looking for suggestions on what I should do for a car that has not been started or used in 10 years.
