I think you should add that to your map of Mobil Directos in the US.
It's already on there.

UPDATE: HemiJoe is till looking for a projector horn assembly . He is willing to drive anywhere in the US or Canada to purchase and pick up.

Because of work, he has not made much progress on it. He does have the rotator base painted and reassembled. The engine block is also mounted. The engine will be gray, the rotator base black, and the bodywork lincoln red.

Double post much? They might not know when the MD was built, but I assume it was sometime in the 50's or 60's, before the Allertor was put on the assembly line.

Although you can't rely on me, you would have to ask one of the experts for an approximate date. :wink:

Didn't they start production of the MD in 1942?
