Does asbestos in classic automobiles pose a health threat?

With many of the mechanical components of a car creating friction and therefore heat, asbestos was a long included additive used across a variety of car parts. Asbestos was favored by manufacturers due to its natural ability to resist heat while creating superior insulation throughout the inner workings of a vehicle.

Asbestos is commonly found in brake parts, clutch facings, transmission pieces, hood linings, insulation gaskets and so forth. Prior to the 1970’s asbestos was the main insulation material used in common replacement parts.

As asbestos-related illnesses have increased and regulations have been put into effect, modern manufacturers limit the use of asbestos present in vehicles today. The major threat of asbestos exposure for the automotive community comes from the repair, restoration and part replacement of vintage or classic vehicles.

Auto mechanics face occupational exposure risks

Working in an auto shop can pose a variety of occupational hazards for auto mechanics. The nature of auto mechanic work lends itself the possibility of creating asbestos dust. Modern day mechanics that are not informed of the hazards associated with their occupation face a higher risk of exposure every day.

Secondhand exposure may also be a risk for other employees or even nearby communities. When asbestos dust becomes airborne, it travels. Asbestos fibers are impossible to see and very difficult to avoid inhaling. Family members are also put at risk through secondhand exposure. Mechanics may come home with asbestos dust on their clothes, skin, hair or shoes.

Where can asbestos fibers be found

• Brakes
• Clutches
• Heat Seals
• Gaskets
• Hood Liners
• Fiberglass/Plastic Body Work
• Engine Components
• Insulation

Many companies have manufactured and distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. The majority of these companies remain in operation at some scale today. Since these companies knowingly put people at risk for asbestos exposure, today they frequently settle mesothelioma lawsuits.

The at home auto mechanic risks

At home auto mechanics who work with aged auto parts are also at risk for unknowingly inhaling or even ingesting asbestos. Often, the do-it-yourself garage is not equipped with the same equipment found in auto shops, presenting a greater health risk.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises to avoid cleaning brakes with compressed air during do-it-yourself auto work, limiting the chances of asbestos dust entering the air. The EPA also advises the use of pre-ground ready-to-install parts whenever possible.

OSHA has also taken efforts to help protect those who encounter auto work by issuing a safety bulletin with best practices to manage asbestos dust from brakes and clutches.

Mesothelioma and the auto industry

The generations of neglect towards asbestos exposure became obvious by the middle of the 1970’s. The increased occurrences of specific groups of workers who were developing lung diseases, including rare one’s like mesothelioma became alarming. Mesothelioma symptoms often won’t present signs for decades after the exposure. Therefore, extended exposure to asbestos dust and fibers in an occupational setting became the common denominator of identifying the exposure sources. The military, automotive industry, and various manufacturing sectors all face higher rates of exposure.

The only proven cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos fibers. It can present itself in one or more areas in the body, but generally mesothelioma is seen in the lungs, the surrounding area of the heart, or in the abdomen.

Many auto shops today provide respirator gear, and have better equipped ventilation methods. October is the American Lung Association’s Healthy Lung Awareness Month. It is important to understand the dangers associated with lung disease to break the stigma surrounding safety gear. Educating one another today about the rare risks associated with the forever changing automotive industry can save lives tomorrow.

The post Safety in knowledge: Asbestos in Classic Cars appeared first on Old Cars Weekly.

When most car collectors dream, their wish lists start with something fast, exotic or glamorous. Ferraris, Duesenbergs, Porsches, Corvettes, Mustangs, Cadillacs … there are too many pie-in-the-sky cars in the world to count.

Dick Romm might have been the only guy around with a 1952 Plymouth Suburban near the top of his list. The Eugene, Ore., resident can’t quite pinpoint why, but he wanted one for many years.

“I remember I had an old Mechanics Illustrated, and Tom McCahill took one from Florida to New York and he raved about it,” laughs Romm. “I always wanted one after that. I’ve always been into Plymouths. We always had them — they were kind of a pioneering car.

“Well, I started collecting a few cars and I always wanted one of those [Suburbans]. We looked for them, but a lot of them were either junk, customized, or had very, very expensive restorations… But I finally found one!”

 Romm hit the jackpot in 2011 in a bit of an unlikely spot: the small town of Friday Harbor on San Juan Island in Washington State. The man who had the Deluxe Suburban was the second owner and had taken very good care of the Suburban, which he had apparently used as a good-weather car and part-time kid hauler. “He had a summer house there,” Romm noted. “He was Californian and wanted a car to drive around in with his grandchildren in the summertime.”

The second owner was also able to provide interesting information on where the Suburban had originally come from. He had some good documentation from the years he owned it, and even a wonderful photo of the original owners.

“I got a whole package of stuff with the car,” Romm says. “It was built in San Leandro, Calif., and bought new in Seattle by a couple, Melvin and Opal Clark, in 1952. I don’t think they had any children because they sent out a ‘birth certificate’ of the car for their friends, like they were having a baby. ‘Come over and see the new car.’ And there was an old snapshot of them taken with the car about 10 years later.

“They must have used it for camping. There were snaps around windows … and an extra heater under the seat, I’m guessing for when it got cold when they were camping.” In addition, there is a thin metal bar across the ceiling the full width of the car, “probably for hanging clothes,” Romm surmises.  “The most intriguing thing is that there is about a 12 x 12-in. hole cut into the floor and a metal box welded in that is about 6 inches deep.  It is on the floor just behind the front seat on the driver’s side. It is covered with a metal plate and then the regular floor mat between the front and back seat. We can only surmise that this was a place where when camping, and taking a hike or a swim somewhere away from the car, they kept their valuables…wallet, watch, money, etc…. stored away where nobody would ever think to look.”

After the original owners died, the family sold it to a “middle man” type who then sold it to the owner in Friday Harbor.  “I got all the build sheets and registration tickets with it. It’s all kind of an interesting history,” Romm says.

Romm added that what attracted him most to the Plymouth was that it was a largely unmolested original. About the only thing close to restoration work that he could find on the Suburban was a very slight difference in the paint color on the front end. “I think the front must have been repainted at one point. In the right sunlight, you could tell there was just a slight difference.”

That little anomaly didn’t matter after Romm suffered an unlucky mishap in a parking lot after he bought the car. “It was still in good shape, but somebody backed into it in a parking lot, so I decided to get the car repainted. That was only about six months ago. We painted it the same color.”

As far as Romm could tell, the paint was about the only thing on the car that isn’t original, other than the usual maintenance items. “We don’t have much rust out here, so the car stayed in pretty good shape. I’m sure the interior is all original. The front seat was worn on the driver’s side. We had the seat restuffed, but not reupholstered … The back seat looks fresh. The rest of the front seat looks fresh, too. The door panels were original. It was obvious the car had not been restored. The rubber floor mats look bad, but they are original. We have other mats over the top of the original because we don’t want to wear it out. Of course, these were bare-bones. They didn’t have carpeting. And I’ll tell you, it’s impossible to find a floor mat for that car. I’ve been trying for years.

“It is curious in that it has a blue interior. I have the build sheet and all looks correct. My only feeling is that since it was the ‘bare bones’ model, I think there were only a few interiors offered, regardless of exterior color, or else there was factory ‘mistake!’ Nevertheless, it doesn’t clash with the maroon.”  

The Plymouth wasn’t completely without and bells and whistles, however. Romm proudly notes that it came with “five extras: armrest, heater, bumper guards, the guards on the doors, and turn signals.” At some point, the Suburban also received a dealer-installed radio.

“These were advertised as cheap,” he chuckles. “The Savoy was the upscale model.”

Farewell to the ‘woodie’

Ironically, the fact that Romm’s ’52 Plymouth is a low-cost model is probably one of the big reasons that it has stuck around this long. The Suburban was introduced in 1949 as a lower-cost, three-door, all-steel alternative to the more expensive woodie wagons already on the company menu. It was also one of the very few all-steel wagons offered by a U.S. manufacturer, and it helped signal the beginning of the end for wood-bodied haulers.

The Suburban featured a modern “turn-the-key” ignition, three-speed column shifting (automatic shifting arrived in 1953) and two-row seating with room for five. You could fold the back seat flat to make room for more cargo, making it suitable for both commercial and people-moving duties. At the time, Plymouth used 118.5- and 111-inch wheelbases and the compact Suburban was built on the shorter of the two. Upholstery in the base Deluxe model was done in durable vinyl. Under the hood was a 217.8-cid L-head six-cylinder, Chrysler’s smallest power plant. It produced 97 hp and propelled four 6.70 x 15 Goodyear tires down the road.

In base form, the Suburban sold for $2,163. The upscale Savoy version was a whopping $124 more. Both were members of the bottom-tier Concord line in Plymouth’s hierarchy, one notch below the Cambridge and two rungs beneath the Cranbrook — neither of which, interestingly, offered a station wagon.

The Suburban wagon carried on through the 1954 model year with few changes, other than the addition of an optional automatic transmission and a few annual styling updates. For 1955, Plymouth gave its cars a complete makeover with longer, lower bodies and a more modern look. The Suburban nameplate was part of the Plaza series, but was basically an entirely new vehicle. The Suburban moniker was dropped for good at Plymouth after the 1960 model year.   

Just ‘an honest car’

The previous owner had Romm’s Suburban for just three years and turned over the keys to Romm with 98,000 miles on the clock. It now has 110,000 and change, so he has not been shy about driving it. To make it more road-trip friendly, he’s added an overdrive transmission that he says has made voyages like his 600-mile round trip to Astoria, Ore., for a big Chrysler meet much more enjoyable.

“We have driven it as far as British Columbia (900 miles round trip), as well as driving it down from near Seattle where I purchased it. We were the lead tour car at the Regional Meet of our Chrysler Club last September,” Romm says. “It’s been very reliable. It has an electric fuel pump that the second owner installed and that fuel pump went out one time. That was the only time I’ve ever been stranded in it. I’ve also had the generator rebuilt and a few maintenance things. We’ve put about 11,000 miles on in 8 years,” he laughs. “Yeah, we drive it!”

Romm has had quite a few collector cars over the years, but insists the Suburban gets as much, or more, attention than any car he’s owned. Humble family vehicles from the postwar years seem to strike nostalgic chords with many car people, and Romm never has a shortage of folks commenting on his rugged old wagon.

“A lot of people, especially older people and children of older people, remember riding in these,” he notes. “In those days, these were high-production automobiles, so people tend to identify with these.”

Romm insists that even though the old Plymouth is a camping veteran, he has no plans to take it to Yellowstone or any other campgrounds, for that matter. He does plan to have it in his garage for a long time, however.

“You know, my first collector car I ever bought — it was in really bad shape — was a 1946 [Chrysler] woodie Town and Country, and I still have it, but I’d probably sell that one before I’d sell this one. It’s probably the last car I’d ever sell. I liked it from the very beginning, kind of like it imprinted on me or something, I don’t know. It’s just an honest car, and there is just something special about it.”

It wasn’t a merry Christmas for anyone in this 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon, which got walloped in front of a Menlo Park, Calif., hotel on Dec. 24, 1959. This hauler looks like it was loaded down for the holidays. The 1958 model year marked the first time the Ranch Wagon was available with four doors. It was the base station wagon trim level for ‘58 and could carry either six- or eight-cylinder power.

“This is my great uncle, Herman Fredrick (1877-1940). Photo taken in Harvard, Ill., in 1915,” says Mike Peters, of Sharon, Wis.  “The car is a 1914 Model T touring that Herman had recently bought new. Herman had suffered from polio since the age of 4, and had very little use of his legs, so he used one crutch and one cane to walk. Model T’s are a foot-pedal-operated car, but Herman had very powerful shoulders and arms, so he simply ran the low gear, brake and reverse pedals with his cane. Cranking the car by hand would have been easy for Herman.  Shortly after this photo was taken, Herman smacked the T into a tree. The T was totaled, but Herman survived. I have a ‘15 T and can relate very well to Herman’s dilemma.”

“Rarely seen these days — to be replaced by minivans,” notes OC contributor John Bellah, who spotted this Ford 1/2-ton panel truck slowly rusting away in a public park in Springdale, Utah. This circa 1948-’50 Ford could carry either a 226-cid six with 95 hp or a 239.4-cid V-8 with 100 hp. The postwar Ford haulers were billed as the “Bonus-Built Trucks” with the panel truck using an all-new body.

By Yvette VanDerBrink

For a MoPar man you wouldn’t expect that his first car would be a 1926 Ford Model T. But for Jim Gesswein, that 1926 Ford Model T would lead to one of the Midwest’s most successful dealerships and an amazing collection of MoPar collector cars.

Jim Gesswein grew up in Milbank, SD and learned the car trade from his father. Jim’s dad had the Oldsmobile, GMC, Harley Davidson and New Idea Farm Equipment franchises. Jim learned from the best. His father was a great car salesman and knew how to “make the deal!” Jim watched his dad make all kinds of deals. His dad once traded for an airplane, which he jumped in and flew home, with only a few lessons. Jim learned that the art of the deal was “making the customer happy” with a good trading experience. Jim’s dad could always get the “deal done” and even during WWII was able to get what the customer wanted.

Any good salesman knows there was always a need for a “draw” to get the customers in to make the deal, and in Jim’s dad’s dealership, it was JoJo the bear! That’s right – a black bear named JoJo would be at the dealership greeting customers and entertaining them by drinking a bottle of pop or beer, whichever was handy at the time, and then throwing the bottles away when he was done! It became Jim’s job to take JoJo on his daily walk. Motivated to move with candy, JoJo would always follow along. Jim’s dad had a big heart that motivated him to make the deal ensuring that the customer was happy. But as fate would have it, Jim’s father passed away at a young age in 1961.

The Ford dealer in town came to pay his respects to the family, and invited Jim to come sell Fords for him at the dealership in town. Jim was a natural. He had learned from the best. Selling Fords left and right, he soon saw that he wanted more for himself. With a loan from his uncle, Jim started Gesswein Motors in 1967, a used car lot that also sold Kubota farm equipment in Milbank, South Dakota.

Shortly after, Jim also became the Rupp franchised snowmobile dealer. That tied into Jim’s “born and bred” South Dakota upbringing. Jim and his brothers, Art and John, enjoyed snowmobiling and decided to try their hand at racing their Rupps. In a short amount of time they were racing Stock and Modified snowmobiles with success. In the 1970-1971 season Jim was named Rupp Rider of the Year! Jim was also on the Factory Rupp Racing Team in 1974! An unfortunate racing accident shortened Jim’s career on the circuit.

As luck would have it, Chrysler came to Milbank looking for someone to sell their vehicles. With Jim’s local reputation he was a perfect fit. Jim married in 1973 and consistently worked on growing the dealership eventually adding a GMC Truck franchise. In the 1980s Jim had the only franchised Shelby dealer in South Dakota. Just like his dad, making the deal with a happy customer was most important. Jim has sold cars all over the US and the world and has had his fair share of wild deals. Jim said that he even took 30 dozen eggs as part of a trade on a car. He even had a farmer that bought a new car at another dealership and drove it straight to Gesswein’s to make a deal with Jim. Jim learned that making the customer have that “good feeling” about their purchase and making relationships was crucial to his success.

Jim also believed that surrounding yourself with a good team and staff was key to making the customers happy. Jim worked to build a service department that was top notch which also kept customers coming back not only for service, but a chance to make more deals. This led to Gesswein Motors, Inc. receiving multiple awards for sales and service. In fact, receiving the Chrysler Pentastar Club Award 15 times, multiple awards of excellence and many sales awards to name just a few of the dealerships accomplishments. Jim has served on multiple factory advisory committees including the Minneapolis Advertising Board and the National Chrysler Dealer Council, among others.

Jim is always appreciative of his community for their support. Jim has served on the hospital board for 18 years, Grant County Economic Development board and many other chairs in the community. Jim also served on the volunteer fire department for many years as well. Jim appreciates everyone that helped him and is always looking to give back to the community that has served him throughout the years. His philanthropy and overall contributions to his community are impressive.

Classics often got traded in on new cars and Jim would sell them and soon saw that there was a market them. Jim himself has said, “I have never met a quality car that I didn’t like.” Jim began pursuing classic cars as another avenue to make money. This allowed him to also build his private classic car collection. Jim has sold classics all over the world and made many relationships through deals. Sweden and Norway have been big markets for many of the MoPar classics. Jim has also sold more than 100 classics to a Prime Minister in the Middle East.

Jim always knew how to get people the cars that they wanted and helped make their deal. This led to many referrals and leads to many classic car purchases. Over the years Jim has had hundreds of Classic MoPars in his collection, including at one time 14 Superbirds, 6 Vipers, Cudas, Chargers and more. Imperials have been a favorite of his for their luxury and design. Jim has grown a reputation for his MoPar collection, but he has never really shown it to the public. Jim’s name is well known through the classic car community for his collection and now has decided to offer his collection for sale. Many of the collection have never been offered for sale before. The collection not only hosts and amazing assortment of MoPar collector vehicles, but hold back cars that were set aside as an investment and still on MSO.

It is with a heavy heart that Jim has decided to offer the collection for sale, but his head has won out over his heart and on July 18th, 2020 at the Gesswein dealership, he will host an auction of his classic car collection. VanDerBrink Auctions will offer approx. 54 vehicles at a public auction at 10AM.

There will be a preview on July 17th, 2020 and the auction will be hosted live and also with online bidding for the world to bid on these fabulous cars. The collection has high quality, investment grade vehicles that have been meticulously cared for through the years. There are an amazing 23 Chrysler Imperials including rare models and many convertibles from 1955-1974. A rare 1963 Chrysler 300 Indy 500 Pacesetter convertible with a 413 V8 is absolutely stunning and would be a great addition to any collection. Some of the stand outs are a Pink 1960 Chrysler Imperial convertible, 1964 Chrysler 300 Silver Edition 2dr HT, 1968 Chrysler Imperial Crown convertible, and more. The collection boasts some muscle with 2 – 1970 Plymouth Superbirds, one from the Tim Wellborn collection. A 1970 Plymouth GTX with less than 37,000 miles in sublime green that is a 1 owner car. A 1987 Franchised Shelby GLHS Omni with less than 7,000 miles and is #6 of 500 built. Jim also held back some new cars that will be sold on an MSO, which will be an investment well spent – a 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger, 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby, 2018 Dodge Charger SRT 392 Scat Pack and even a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, will be some of the offerings. This is an amazing collection and any one of them would be an investment for you to drive and have in your portfolio.

Jim’s sure that he will be making deals for years to come, but it’s time for someone else to enjoy his collection. He wants all his cars to go to people that appreciate quality and will enjoy them as much as he has. So, plan now to come to the preview and stay for the auction at Gesswein Motors, Inc. in Milbank, South Dakota on July 18th, 2020 at 10AM. For more information on the auction along with catalog, online bidding, and more. www.vanderbrinkauctions.com and make sure to make your next deal at Gesswein Motors, Inc. in Milbank, South Dakota.
