Here I have for sale a pair (R & L) of restored CORNERING LAMPS for any model 1962 Cadillac.  They both originally came from the South, but if you are familiar with these they are made out of potmetal and when they get hit or corrode the tabs all break off.  Not only that, but after years being inside a box in the trunk--most of the sockets are ruined as well.  Poor design- but we have to live with it.  As I said they were Southern- minimal corrosion.  I stripped off all the tar and corrosion.  I primed them to protect the remaining body. I tested the sockets that I had ( and threw out the bad ones.)  I made new top tabs as shown out of heavy gauge steel and attached them.  Some of the tabs were still there but cracked, weak, or missing pieces.  I simply placed a new steel tab next to the old so they will mount up exactly as original.  The inside front bolt slot also tends to break off, but as they use a sheetmetal nut/bolt they work fine just sandwiching the slot between washers.  I can supply the original slot hardware (inside only) and you can modify to support as necessary.  The passenger side bracket is still perfect.  Driver's side is missing a tang.  Upper bolt tabs are all new  (inside front brackets are less important.)  Wires, sockets are replaced ready to plug in.  Lenses are good used, chromed frames are better than most. NOS are available on ebay.   Bulbs are correct and new. New gaskets, new stainless screws.  Yes they work.  Hopefully your turn-signal switch in the column still does.  I have one more set, waiting for parts yet.   Buyer pays shipping, I ship anywhere.

Volvo launches plan to spread servicing costs

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Volvo has launched a new website allowing owners of Volvos up to 48 months old the opportunity to purchase a Volvo Service Plan, via either a one-off payment or a fixed monthly fee. It works in a similar way to car insurance, where you have a choice of either paying monthly or upfront. The pre-paid service plans cover any service carried out on Volvos up to six years of age and up to a maximum of ten scheduled services.

One Lap of the Web: Cumberbatch on Hamilton and Blue Ovals that never were

Thu, 29 May 2014

-- The Internet's greatest man-crush of the moment, next to boyish rogue Tom Hiddleston, is the aristocratically named and occasionally cross-dressing Benedict Cumberbatch. But the "Sherlock" star (not "Doctor Who," as the un-nerdy announcers mistakenly trumpet) has a dark secret: he's actually a Formula One fan who interviewed Lewis Hamilton at the podium at Malaysia. Bonus points for Nico Rosberg chucking a mike around like it's a hacky sack.
