I hate to tell you this, Greg, but...Philco did not start using rubber-covered wiring in wholesale fashion in their chassis until the 1939 season...the 38-116 has cloth-covered wiring...

Man, you missed out on a steal! Or like Mike (morzh) said, highway robbery!

Let's see...what was that old saying about not looking a gift horse in the mouth...???

Even a gift horse breath stinks - don't look it in the mouth. Icon_smile
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
