Report from museum trip: I took a new battery to put in the '35 today. It cranked slow, hich may indicate the new battery needs an initial charging or some starter electrical contacts need cleaning, ut it started up. The engine ran fine and the brakes (hydraulic) worked fine, lthoughthey did need to break free at first. I checked oil and it was a bit dark, o that combined with it's age, ndicates to me that it should be changed. No other issues noted, he car should be ready to drive out, ith only minor checking over. to assure road readiness.

To answer a question on the mechanism for windshield and rear window toward rumble seat. I had Jim at the museum check them out for me and he answered that both worked smoothly as they should. The same person questioned if the tile had been updated. The Indiana title had a transfer at death clause, o cars arein his adult children's names.
