Here is a link to a folder from the Album that I copied to Microsoft's cloud storage.  http://sdrv.ms/YgjKAs -- I am trying to see if this is a way to replace the buggy album.  Feel free to send an email to the above address with any reactions.  The link name, of course, is not helpful, so that is an issue.

Followup - so far, it appears that sorting picsby car number is an issue. When I tried more of the album it did not organize them, it just showed a huge mass of pics. I will also look into other services.

I am exploring my options to keep this nuisance from happening again including putting all the pics on an outside photo album site.

And, the record book changes as Ohio Roadster # 1509 has checked in after recently being bought from the original owner, now making IT the last known production Glassic. See owners list page3

If you last through all 5 of the rotating pictures on the homepage - I have added a sixth picture!

Heater core:  for the non-mechanics, the heater core is a little radiator with fins that sits in a box with a fan under the dash.  Hot engine water goes through the core and the fan blows the resulting hot air into the car.  They are prone to leaking with age. Here is a solution: heater core.

Grill shell inserts - here is a nice looking product at a reasonable price.

Stay tuned for a tech article on a replacement heater core for this car, and a source of grill mesh inserts.

It turned out that the donation mentioned in yesterday's log was not from Martin, but was kindly done by him on behalf of his girlfriend, Janice Kloog, the owner of car 1119 - so Janice is inducted into the  Hall of Fame but Martin still gets a shout-out for helping with his PayPal account.

Also I posted a great picture of Janice's Florida Roadster 1119 in the Album It is the second car on the page, the white Roadster.

Phaeton # 1500 sent some good before and after pictures as well as a couple of technical items (heater core, grill shell insert) I will post these soon.

Martin Victor (I do not see a Glassic registered in his name) is the newest proud member of our Hall of Fame for his PayPal donation to the website. Thank you, Martin.

Car 332, in California, was recently re-listed on eBay then removed - likely sold locally.

I got a form for a new owner of car 1148, but the return email address was a bit odd, so I am confirming it before posting the info.

As my internet provider and I try to figure out HOW these unauthorized changes were made to the Annex, the photo ALBUM is a possible suspect since I have given IT permission to make automatic changes -- The Album is a great program, but its days may be numbered if it proves to make the site vulnerable.  More info on this to come.

New Wisconsin owner for Roadster # 351 posted to owners list pg. 1

NOTE:  Today I changed the system used by the search button on the Annex main page.  I told them not to catalog the ALBUM since there were so many pages they were reviewing.  I don't THINK it will affect search results, but it cut 90% out of their page analysis time.

I received, and added some more pics of Illinois Roadster #351 - this batch includes a not-blurry shot of the side of this FOR SALE car. The pics are in the  album

a NJ Phaeton is on eBay - I was notified by an Annex fan since it was not listed as a Glassic because the seller did not know that was what it was. It has been added to the Annex as car u041 on the unknown VIN page since we don't know the original VIN.

California Phaeton # 332 spotted on eBay

I did a little updating on charts today. Quantities of Glassics, VIN range by year, and the used car values page.

Brian, car 881, gets a special thanks for his check donation in support of the Annex. Thank you, Brian, for your contribution and kind comments about the website -- and welcome to your place in the Hall of Fame

Spotted CA Roadster # 1093 on Craigs list

UPDATE - by late afternoon, tech support, although not sure WHY the photo album got messed up, did figure out a fix and it appears to be back on-line.

 The planned electric car, an Oregon Phaeton ,#932poss, is added to Owners list page 2  We hope the owner will share this project when he starts it.

Maine Roadster #885 has relocated to Georgia, and is now FOR SALE - see Owners list page 2

• Pennsylvania Phaeton  #738 added to owners list page 2
• Added some pics of BOTH un-restored Massachusetts cars owned Ed by album
• Added some nice new pics of Stan's California Phaeton # 106. Good detail photos of a highly modified and superbly restored car taken by your Annexmaster - now in the album.

New MA owner posted for car # 606 who already owned car # 131

A big danke schön to Joerg Tragert, the new owner in GERMANY (see the entry below here).  About the Annex, he said:

I found all the necessary information for parts to renew  my car in just one hour.  Even the vacuum wiper information. Hope to have it on the road in 3 weeks.

He then became our first overseas member of the now "world renowned" Hall of Fame for his cash support of the website.

The website appears to be working as it should now after its recent file moves. Pls email me at the above address if you find problems.

The new TX owner of Phaeton 720 completed the contact info sent in by the previous owner who sold him the car. See owners list page 2

UPDATE - by evening, the forms work, but are not yet completely fixed. Other issues have appeared as ones are fixed. The main page is now slow to load and respond - there may be on-going problems until all of the settings are re-established for the site.

Virginia Phaeton # 609 is also for sale and the updated info is HERE, and a picture will follow when I get the album fixed. (see entry above)

The Annex album is still messed up, and the internet provider and I are still trying.  I am hopeful that by tomorrow it will be back on-line.  If anything else does not work right, please email me at the above email.

NY Phaeton # 800 is now FOR SALE -- see owners list page 2.  The yellow is the prior car color in the ALBUM and the black pictures are the more recent ones.

A suggested use for Glassic patches - on shirts.  See the hats page.

Some added insight on the V-8 and rear end swap in the log entry below was put at the end of  the article in  tech stuff

I am trying a new system to get you right to the exact car listing on For sale cars on owners lists, so you don't have to remember and scroll to the car number. So that car # 720 mentioned above -- INFO IS HERE

FL Roadster #709 -- is now marked as FOR SALE. See owners list page 2

Illinois Phaeton # 583 has been added to  owners list page 2

On each of the 3 owners list pages, the top section has a box with the total count of "found cars" -- that page has always had a hidden chart and map with the car count by state.  I put a red message on the page telling viewers to scroll down to see those counts.  I also fixed it so that the links in that little box opened in a full-sized window, not inside the tiny box. (Try it on the link to owners list page 2, above.)

NOTE -- On the message board, there is a question about lowering the top. I answered it, sort of,  but would appreciate if someone would step up with the answer to his followup question. -- How do those springy pins work that hold the top to the windshield. Do they come out altogether - what keeps those pins from just falling out?  Can anyone send a closeup picture of the pin if they DO come clean out?  -- reminder: when a person ANSWERS a recent item on the message board, the answer does not show up as a NEW item, so there is no way of knowing that more has been added to a topic.

Larger pics of the Chet Atkins record albums posted. The previous pics were small and blurry, so I bought both albums on eBay and took larger shots. (No donation money was used for these).  To see these, scroll down the Annex main page to yellow square  15  and click on the lower center box called "Old ads and other interesting stuff"

Added the article about 1974 wiper motors, to the technical page, or see it directly from here  wiper types used Thanks to Larry for sharing this info.

New Virginia owner for Phaeton # 1500 posted on owners list page3

I am the new owner of Glassic #1119 and just made a donation to the website. Since I purchased my car, I have had to refer to the website several times for general and technical information and have found it very helpful. I hope that anybody/everybody else that uses the website, will do the same!

In addition to the financial support, we thank those who take the time to share their Glassic INFORMATION - as you can see from the email above, the info really helps others down the road. (pun intended).

This video was removed since it is now old news.

I am trying to find out who this Glassic belongs to.

THIS CLIP HAS BEEN REMOVED from the log. -its out of date now.

I also fixed up menu item # 12 below to add the Oprah item in with other celebrity stuff.

Speaking of the Album - another technical problem has arisen where new pictures are not adding properly. I will work on that over the holidays.

A link was added to the LINKS PAGE for a radiator vendor (includes "how to measure your radiator")

Began the webpage after purchasing my Glassic
