    1962 Brake Pedal does not Return

    Thoughts on Caliper covers for 2002 Thunderbird

    I’ve been considering purchasing MGP red caliper covers for my red 2002. Worth the investment? Any clearance problems with the stock 17 inch chrome wheels? If anyone has a torch red car with red covers, pictures would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Getting the brake fluid cap off 1957

    I have had the car for a year (1957) and thought I'd check the brake fluid. I put a cresent wrench on the reservoir cap but the cap would not budge. First, should I check it ( opening creates issues?) and second - off is lefty loosey - correct? Thanks a lot for your thoughts!

    I found a magnificent 1967, parked for decades. Now I need to move it without starting it, by pulling it up on a flatbed for transport to a new home. We put it into neutral and tried to push it, but it did not budge. If we free up the brakes, which I assume is the problem, should the car move...
