I just bought a 1953 Buick and it has been sitting for a while. The tires are flat and beyond holding air for any long period of time.. I tried using a 2.5 ton floor jack but it would not lift the car high enough. What would be the best & safest way to lift it and remove one by one. Also the car was delivered and put into the garage to close to the wall,,so I also need to move it. What is the best option to move it from the wall and get the tires fixed?
Coker Tire among others has original style tires. You didn’t say what kind of floor you have. If it is a cement floor, any decent jack should lift it. You could get "dollies" to move the car with. They are 4 wheeled carts with a tray on them to set the wheel on. If the tires are junk, just hook a chain to it and pull it out. You will not damage the wheels just moving it a little.

Surveys have shown that many are constantly searching online for “classic car auction in Los Angeles” or “Los Angeles classic auto auction”. The beauty and charm of antique vehicles is hardly a passing fad. After all, some car makes and models are reminisces of a colorful automobile history.
Typically, at a classic car auction in Los Angeles, you will be able to feast your eyes on models like the 1974 VW Ghia Coupe, antique Chevrolet cars, 1959 Cadillac, for more details visit our site ##mining-auction-gold## Vintage Volkswagen Beetle, Pickup or Camper and even the Boss Mustang and Lincoln Continental. Not to forget the 1963 Falcon Futura convertible. Some of these are put on auction by private collectors, while others are forced sell due to bank repossession or foreclosures.
Where to find such LA classic car auctions?
Dig into the newspapers and online news site like the Los Angeles Times, Daily News Los Angeles and more. A quick check at the LA Avenue homepage will give you a long list of newspapers you can check out. The classified ads or buy/sell corner are where you should be searching.

This helps you to plan your car search, hopping from one auction to another over a nice weekend.
More tips on getting an automobile from a Los Angeles classic car auction
Since many of these cars are decades old, their conditions should be of concern to you unless you just want to keep them in your private collection. People do so for investments but still, a vintage car that is working is worth more than a piece of scrap!
Ask a qualified mechanic to come with you to inspect the vehicle before bidding. Go early so that you can have all the time to scrutinize the Antique Cars. Remember to request for their VIN# numbers if they are available. Some are just too old to have that.

I live in Texas, and only want to drive this car to and from work. Which is 10 miles total per day. I can’t pass emissions.
An Antique Car registration will not work for you. From the Specialty License Plate site:
"Antique license plates are issued for cars, trucks or motorcycles that are at least 25 years old and are a collector’s item. The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions, club activities, parades or other functions of public interest. Vehicles displaying Antique plates may not be used for regular transportation or carry advertising. The vehicle may be driven to and from a location for routine maintenance."
A Classic Auto plate would be valid on your car (ooops, not for another few years), but wouldn’t help you escape emissions:
"Classic license plates are issued to cars that are 25 or more years old. Unlike antiques, which cannot be used for regular transportation or carry advertising, classic license plates require a vehicle to be fully registered like any other vehicle, allowing it to be operated on any roadway. A specialty plate fee of $15 is charged in addition to the regular registration fee [pdf, 1 page, 943kb] and other applicable fees."
You might consider replacing it, the state of Texas will give you up to $3500 toward a newer car if yours fails emissions through the AirCheckTexas program. http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/implementation/air/mobilesource/vim/driveclean.html

Many people in Houston-and many cities, for that matter-face a similar dilemma. It happens to everyone. All it takes is a little bit of time and before you know it, you’re up to your ears in stuff. We’ve all been there.
Between birthday parties, weddings, Saturday morning garage sale excursions, trips to the antique fair, and window shopping, it’s easy to accumulate a lot of things in a short amount of time. Even if we don’t really need the stuff, it’s still so very hard to get rid of it.
Here’s where the real dilemma comes in. If you aren’t going to get rid of it, you have to find a place to put it, right? No matter how big a home is, many of us still manage to accumulate more things than the house can hold. Before long, the garage becomes a storage warehouse. The cars end up sleeping on the proverbial couch, otherwise known as the driveway.
Then, the time comes to reminisce about the days when you could park your cars in that three car garage like ‘normal’ people. It’s a common tale.
Luckily, in a city the size of Houston, Texas, there’s a solution for everything. People in Houston with a stuff overflow situation are in dire need of a self storage facility. All those things that are taking over your home-and your life-can find their very own home at a second location.
Many people in Houston disregard self storage for a number of reasons. First of all, they think it’s too expensive. Contrary to popular believe, Houston self storage is actually quite affordable. For just a few extra dollars a month, you can get a storage unit for that extra stuff that’s displaced your car and spilling out of your hall closet.
Second, they worry about having limited access to their stuff. True, your stuff isn’t as available to you in the self storage unit as it is in your garage. But many Houston self storage facilities allow 24-hour access to your storage unit! And if they don’t, it’s probably just as well. Who really needs their Class of ‘89 letterman jacket in the middle of the night?
Third, they keep thinking, “Why do I need Houston self storage when I’m getting ready to have a garage sale?” Garage sales are great and they do solve the I-have-too-much-stuff problem. Garage sales, or donating the stuff to charity, giving it away, or throwing it all in a bonfire will help clear some much needed space in your home. But then you must decide what to get rid of and what to keep. Most people would rather walk on hot coals than endure such agony.
In Houston, self storage facilities create a win-win scenario for those suffering from too much stuff. You can find a safe, secure place for your things that won’t bombard you closets, garage, and under your bed. Also, you can enjoy a more spacious, organized home until you’re ready to get rid of some of your stuff once and for all. Best of all, your cars can enjoy being tucked into the garage every night. With Houston self storage, everybody’s happy.

Or Collectible Car Insurance, whatever you want to call it. And is it cheaper than typical insurance? (Though I doubt it)
The main benefits are that it’s WAY WAY WAY cheaper than regular car insurance; it’s specialized coverage, so that, for example, you can also have coverage for parts stored in your garage that you’re GOING to put on the car;and the valuation is usually an AGREED value (you want agreed value, not stated value) rather than ACV like on a standard policy.
Example: If your regular auto policy for your late model car is costing you $1200 a year, you could probably get full coverage on an antique policy for $300, assuming the valuation is under $15,000.

I need help with organizing a benefit Antique Car, Truck & Bike show to benefit a local charity. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Set a date and secure a location. If it’s a public place, like a park or school stadium parking lot, you will still need to get permission to use it. Contact the city parks & recreation department about a park, or the school itself about using their grounds.
Determine the cost of participation. Will there be an entry fee? Will you be providing a meal? If so, will that cost be included in the entry fee? Will t-shirts be included? Does your venue charge you for the use of their space? How many people do you expect to participate? How much money do you hope to raise?
Get the word out!!! Get a mailing list from the charity you’re benefiting. Send flyers to their supporters. Get a mailing list (if possible) from any antique auto clubs in your greater vicinity. Send them word, too. If you can’t get mailing lists, ask to have your info put into their newsletters or on their websites — or ask to have your info given out at their meetings. Post flyers in all the grocery stores and churches and libraries and schools and other such places that will let you do so.
Ask an official from an antique car club what categories you should have for prizes, how you should display the vehicles, and so on.
There. That should help get you started. You’ve probably already done most of this, or at least thought it through. You can take it from there to come up with the rest of what you should do, I’m sure.
