Batteries

I find myself in need of an original type 6 volt battery for my '37 Terraplane.  Any suggestions?

If you have a Battery+ I your neighborhood. Give them a try. I found one for my 49 Commodore In stock!

Yes, SuperDave is right: for a good battery go to Batteries Plus.  They handle the DEKA 6-volt battery which has 780 CCA.  Price was less than $100 when I bought a new one from them, a couple years ago, for my '37.

You may want to consider one of the Optima gel batteries which are reputed to have a much longer life than lead-acid batteries, and have a few more CCA as well.
