    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Thumbs up Thanks cafdfw.......

    The pics look real nice. VERY nice 31 coupe that Boos has. Oh, I forgot to mention this icon; you reckon a 1931 Cadillac V12 could out-run a Ford ????

    Saw a pic of one in a calander showcasing exquisite automobiles today!! Fantastic auto!! HUGE !! You could use the headlamp lenses for dinner plates if you were a big eater !!

    Merry Christmas,

    Emri

    Don't forget the smooth HP of the 1932 Packard V12 Emri!



    Of course on my income now, I could barely afford a set of spark plugs for Boos' Ford, so I'll remain in awe of it!

    on 1/24/10 barrett-jackson auction sold this 1930 model "A" ford coupe that John Dillinger used in his get-away from Little-Bohemia in 1934 for $150,000.
    The car was returned to it's owner where it sat in his barn untill 2006 because it would cost to much to repair, bullet holes, and blood stains on the inside, it was found in 2006 [about] and repaird for the movie Public enemy
    # one that came out in 2009 and was used in the movie, Dillinger broke out the back window with his thompson and killed 3 and wounded 7, one of the three men in the car was shot in the back of the head which probley saved him from severe hearing loss as Dillinger was using a 50 round drum in his thompson.
    so all gangster's did not use caddy's and packards, in th 20's and 30's, it was the first car he found, he drove it 200 miles and ditch'ed it for a 1932 ford V8, which im sure he did not finance.
