The Photo should have a plain background like a building or vegetation, Look carefully to make sure there are no trees or poles behind the car. No stuff like lawn chairs or trash cans near the car.

However, it is the hill country of Brown County that really seems to capture a sense of what being a “Hoosier” is all about. The town of Nashville, IN became an art colony about the turn of the 20 th century and since that time it has morphed into a scenic destination quite unlike its beginnings. Where at one time one could encounter hill people who preferred to live the simple life, we now are content to visit the myriad of shops that cater to the unusual as well as artistic products. The famous Hoosier journalist Ernie Pyle spent some time there prior to his World War II assignment that made him famous and claimed his life. He captured the essence of the place when he wrote columns for the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain. The nearby Brown County State Park is the crown jewel of Indiana Parks and is a destination worthy of a dedicated trip to view and enjoy.

The 2019 Homecoming is history. Marilyn and I had Wednedsay Evening Dinner & Fun a great experience planning the 4 day tour and making all the necessary arrangements. I would encourage you to consider having a Homecoming in your part of the country. We planned short tours in order to get the Oaklands and older Pontiacs to attend. We had the best selection of Oaklands and Pontiacs that we have seen for some time. Many thanks to everyone for showcasing our hobby as the cars negotiated the city traffic without any problems. Springfield, Illinois has become a mecca for old car events. But most events involve newer cars and street rods. The city really appreciated the older original cars.

All the good the Saviour gave to the world was communicated through this book.” Words by Lincoln as he received a gift of a bible.

A beautiful array of Oaklands and Pontiacs
On Saturday we took a 30 mile tour to Taylorville, Illinois where we were met at the edge of town by the police and had a police escort across town to the town square where we had reserved parking around the Court House. The town of Taylorville couldn’t have been nicer. They printed posters, had radio and news- paper announcements promoting our tour and car show.

I the washer and I didn’t want a poor looking edge. have been very fortunate to be able to source all the needed parts so far. However, in my quest to make everything work on my car I have needed to “get creative” sometimes. Such was the case when I decided to try to get my windshield washer working. The washer is a vacuum operated type. When I began to trouble shoot it, I had no idea how it worked. Of course, the first thing I did was the easiest thing. I made sure all the vacuum lines were new and the push button switch was working. I had GENTLY PRYING UP THE LIP previously cleaned and repainted the outside of the washer. I also put on a period correct label. Now it With the top and bottom separated I could now see was time to get serious. how this thing worked. Pushing the push-button switch located on the dash allows a vacuum to suck up the diaphragm. Water is drawn into the bottom chamber. When the push-button is released and vacuum is gone the spring pushes the diaphragm down forcing the water out the tube leading to the windshields. With the downward movement of the diaphragm a check valve is closed so that water does not go back in to the glass bottle but out through the hose to the windshield.

But where am I going to get a special diaphragm. The shape is a truncated cone that matches the bottom section and I’m pretty sure Pep Boys won’t have one. I considered sending it to a diaphragm manufacturer but that would have been cost prohibitive. My wife has been very supportive throughout this entire restoration process but she does have a limit. I scratched my head for a day or two and then the light bulb came on. I don’t need a new diaphragm; I only need to patch the hole in the old one. But how could I do that? Another head scratching session brought me to a good solution. After a thorough cleaning I sprayed three I can’t wait to go to my next car show and someone coats of Plasti-Dip on each side of the diaphragm. If looks under the hood and asks, “What’s that jar of you are not familiar with Plasti-dip it is similar to water for?” “Flexseal”. The trick was to not put too much on or the rubber may become too heavy and the vacuum would not pull it up. I sandblasted the inside of the top and bottom metal pieces to give them a good cleaning. Then I reassembled everything. I did use a small bead of clear silicone around the edges where the diaphragm needs to seal tightly. I did this as a precaution as I wasn’t sure I could get the lip edge seal as tight as the factory would have
