How to determine what part # belongs to what car

I have an old tail or trunk light, but don't know what kind of car or year of car it comes from. (Could be from the 40's or 50's) The car part # is CB-13518 II 1149302 DG (that's the metal part of the unit). The lens is glass and has the # CB 13529 and L. L. Co. 2622. Anyone have an idea??

imagine that ... hot links AGAIN not working!!

Yup, another IMPROVEMENT move no doubt on eBay's part or else the genius engineers wearing sandals to work are on strike for yet more lost US worker money. Pick all your listing preferences for specific Ebay Motors products for sale and get a total of 25 items per page. Then scroll the first page and try and click to page 2 ... nope, not happening. So, all those poor sellers whose items would have shown on pages 2

Cash for Clunkers Ending Monday

Really! We mean it this time! Rush right down and buy a car! Link Appliance manufacturers now want their own rebate program to replace older appliances with newer, more energy efficient ones. From WSJ: US Program Will Offer Rebates For Household Appliances * By Bob Tita Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--Appliance manufacturers are counting on a "cash for clunkers"-type rebate program to revive slumping sales of refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers. Beginning late this fall, federal rebates will be available for purchasers of high-efficiency household appliances, furnaces and air-conditioning systems. Congress authorized $300 million for the program earlier this year as part of the federal economic-stimulus bill. After seeing the recent surge in new-car orders attributed to the federally funded clunkers program, appliance industry executives are hoping to lure consumers back into appliance store showrooms with rebates that are expected to reach $200 on some types of appliances. "It's a good way for the consumer to get back into the marketplace," said J.B. Hoyt, director of governmental relations for Whirlpool Corp. (WHR), the world's largest producer of household appliances by revenue. "Clearly, anything that boosts business is good for us." Whirlpool has been pushing for such a program for years. The 2005 energy bill included an authorization for $300 million over six years for energy-efficiency rebates on appliances. That authorization was never funded, but in the 2009 stimulus bill, the entire $300 million was authorized. Appliances covered by the program include dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators. They must carry Energy Star ratings, indicating they meet energy-efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy. To qualify for rebates, buyers won't have to trade in older, less-efficient models, which is a key component of the car program. Appliances made by companies based overseas will be eligible for the rebates if they have the Energy Star label. In 2008, about 55% of newly produced major household appliances qualified for the Energy Star designation, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers in Washington. Whirlpool, Electrolux (ELUXY), General Electric Co. (GE) and other appliance companies are mired in severe sales slumps linked to the collapse of the U.S. home construction industry and prolonged by an economic recession that has damped consumers' interest in buying expensive durable goods. The $300 million was distributed to states based on the number of households. But the federal government left most of the details, including specific rebate amounts for each type of appliance, up to state governments to decide. States' plans for the program are due to the Department of Energy by Oct. 15.

Policy on stating 'Clear Title'

eBAY should consider changing their requirements for sellers listing vehicles with statements of 'Clear Title'. Over the last several weeks of engaging in bids for used RV's and ensuing dialogue with some sellers, I have found that in fact they DO NOT actually have 'clear and conveyable titles' due to outstanding liens for these vehicles due to using the title as collateral to secure a loan of some type(i.e.; auto title loans, personal loans, etc.). The legal definition of a clear title is one that is free of any and all debtor liens or encumbrances and would be immediately conveyable by the seller to a new owner. This should be the case when stating a clear title at the time of listing an auction as opposed to selller waiting on a buyers money to satisfy any liens or encumbrances to make said title 'Clear and Conveyable'. A simple solution would be to make sellers aware that if stating 'Clear Title' they must in fact have possession of the legal title for said vehicle, clear of any and all encumbrances. On the other hand, if they have used the title as collateral to secure financing for said vehicle or for any other loan purposes where a bank or lending institution holds title ownership until said lien is paid in full then sellers should be given the choice to state a 'Clean and Conveyable' title. This way buyers will know in advance that at the time of winning an auction and preparing to take delivery, they will need to work with the seller and/or any current lien holder to ensure a speedy and uneventful transfer of said title to the new owner. I for one would be very upset to have traveled several hundreds of miles after winning an auction with CASH IN HAND, expecting a clear title transfer between only seller and buyer, to discover that I would now have to wait for the seller to use MY money to clear all liens in order to convey that so-called 'Clear Title'. This also becomes evident when running an AutoChek or CarFax report on listed VIN's which is another issue in itself as I have also found a number of listings with either no VIN shown or an incorrect one. This clear title issue should also extend to the numerous wholesalers listing on eBay who in fact many times use the titles of vehicles they have purchased at auto auctions to secure financing from their lending institutions. While many of these wholesalers do state in their listings that title conveyance can take up to 30-days (which is a clear sign they do not actually own these titles free and clear) it can be misleading to actually state clear title in their listings.

Hey Bizz, Riptwo..

You all have helped me out tremendously in the past with your knowledge.. Quick question.. Repainting my TR-6 British Racing Green since the guy that painted it last time did a lousy job... What is the absolute best two stage base coat/ clear coat that you can buy? I have gotten pretty good with the gun, and I even have a decent makeshift booth. Painted a few bikes, and my Miata with great results using Nason, but I am looking for the best for this one... Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
