hi all,
i just picked up a hole bunch of 490 stuff. 2 rolling chassis,allmost all of 1 body,3 sets of wheels, 3 engines,4 trans,so many parts it hard to inventory.
i have been looking for the missing parts and i've had a heck of a time. there just isnt allot of parts or info on the 490, still glad its not a ford.
just came across the vcca site and i think im going to join. you guys seem like a great source of info. hope to get to know some of you all.

Welcome to the chat site bjcbk, . we hope you receive lots of help here, By the way, what year 490 do you have??
PS. There is a forum here for the 490 models.( just one forum down)

i don't real know. i think the most complete car is a 1916 and the bodiless car is a 17. i only say that because the date on the engines. one is a Halloween day car. the extra engine is newer i think, it doesn't have the same numbering system. it very similar but is defiantly different.

thanks by the way,i'll focus more on the 490 form. i just found the newbie section. wish i had found it fist,lol. the computer thing is new. ive been into 60's&70's cars so i never needed the whole country to find parts.

I have sent you some pictures of my 1916 for you to compare with your own cars.

Hey Solan

your buddy

where can i find those pictures solan. i looked at the stove bolt site but i cant find any cars, only trucks.

Yes, Ken. Kari and I (and our oldest son, Ragnar) will be in Flint next July.

bjcbk:
I sent the pictures to this adress: bkcbk623gmail.co and they have not been refused/returned yet. I used your profile.
The link is only showing our pick up from 31.

Hi Steven,

Try this link, its a on line copy of a 1916 to 1928 parts manual.

I actually have a hard copy, but I find it easier to use the on line version.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Ray
