Steam cleaned or gunked? John Paxos -----Original Message----- From: Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:16 pm Subject: Re: [FWDLK] 56 57 58 59 brake booster colors Well, probably wouldn't call it "restoration," but a lot of used car dealers in the '50's would steam clean and paint engines. Sometimes their method of painting caused problems with moving parts.
Also there were rare birds, my maternal grampa for instance, who would have their engines and chassis steam cleaned every year. --Roger van Hoy, Washougal, WA, '55 DeSoto, '58 DeSoto, '56 Plymouth, '66 Plymouth, '41 Dodge ----- Original Message ----- From: "eastern sierra Adj Services" <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] 56 57 58 59 brake booster colors > W. forgot to mention that who in the HELL ever cared about the physical > appearance of any UNDERHOOD component, in one of them "finned"cars (once > they left the dealership)? > > So what, if the master cylinder got some rust on it?
