" It would be very interesting to get a copy of CAR 3 or 4, but I think more current FARs or ACs would in most cases take precedence."
Look no further: http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgccab.nsf/MainFrame?\ OpenFrameSet <http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgccab.nsf/MainFrame\ ?OpenFrameSet> They are available on the FAA.gov website. "Civil Air Regulations (CARs) The Civil Air Regulations were part of the original certification basis for aircraft first certified in the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. As such, the CARs may still be needed as a reference for older aircraft, or as a standard for minor changes to older aircraft designs." Like ours. I don't see how FAR 23 would take prercedence based on this statement and the fact that the Ercoupe type certificate still says CAR-3 and CAR-4a as the basis for certification. The plot thickens...
