Customs Your worst car insult by someone

Went to a stamp collectors show and a guy had a 1919 stamp in a case,I asked Him if it was a forever stamp! He just looked at me,Some people are just Rude!! Pete

 

Run open headers.

 

Even car people need some education. Recently a fellow driving an old car ask me what company made my body. When I said Ford he looked confused.

 

I agree.
I had an idiot argue with me that my 32 3 Window was a 34 because of the suicide doors.
He should have known better as he was driving a 32 tudor but then again he bought it and didn,t build it

 

A guy once said my uncle had a Hudson just like yours but it didn't have the big fire sticker!

 

Had a guy argue with me that my'34 pickup was a '32. "Just look at the grille, you can tell"

 

I get the “ Hearse or Hurst” thing all the time with my wagon!








Bones

 

While someone looking at my avatar….”I wouldn’t change a thing”

 

Not an insult, but I fondly remember when I was 17 or 18 and had the hood up on my ‘57, neighbor kid, about 10-12 years old had climbed up the fence watching me.
“You sure you have a big enough carburetor on the truck”? -I had two stacked air learners). I still smile when I think about it.

 

Heard an old fella once talking about his V-6 GMC truck..........
"That thang didn't have enough torque to pull a greasy string out of a bucket of lard!"

Yesterday, coming home from dinner in my '65 Dart wagon (which is a bit of a beater), some dude in a big hurry was tailgating me off the freeway when I was coming into town and turning onto my street. He rolled down the window and screamed "Move your piece of shit" and honked the horn. I don't find it insulting because it is kind of a piece of shit, but I thought it was funny. Some people are in such a hurry.

 

Pulled up to City Hall to vote, as an elderly woman was coming out the door.
As I pulled in the parking place and shut off my car, she stopped and stared at it.
When I got out of it, she said "What is wrong with that car....it doesn't sound safe, and I sure would never ride in it"
I chuckled and just told her to have nice day.
Out of fairness to her, it does have a fairly aggressive cam, gear drive, and Smitty's mufflers... lol

 

Few years ago at my bank, I parked my F100, got out, and locked the drivers door. Some unscrubbed 40-or-50 year old in coveralls and a bucket hat yells, "Hey! The doors still lock on that old truck?"
When I started into the door of the bank, I turned around to look...Heck, the truck had some primer showing through, but still looked...desireable...

 

Lately at Walmart, same '55 F100, I started the engine (very 'lopey', also muffled, but 'deep & throaty')
Some guy that looks like a freshly polished math teacher walks up and asks if this vehicle is 'SMOG LEGAL'!
This guy, I suggested 'stand behind it, and I'll show you...'

 

I’m not sure of this being fact myself or not , but I think there were 2 body manufactures for Ford in the early years ,Briggs and Murray .

 

Now Tony, you do remember those '40 lookalike hoods for V-Dubs.

 

Planned obsolescence right there

 

The same guy that did Not like my Decklid on the 33 at the Car Show , was there with his Brother-in-Law , they asked me where I was from , I told them at that time I had a small shop in Concord , Calif. So mouthy guy says , Do you know Art Himsl , I said yes, I do. He tells me Art is a Prima Donna who wouldn't paint his car , I told him Art is a Great guy , He will work for ya if he likes you. The Bro-in-law turned sideways and giggled.

 

An old guy (older than me, at the time), walks around my Avatar truck and says "nice truck but how come it's so low?" I said "Aw, the suspensions shot" "Oh, still a nice truck"

 

Yes
I used to see a particular blue one on a semi regular basis in the 70's. Them and mostly Baja Bug versions.
By the early 80's they were all getting their roofs cut off to make 'convertibles.' I wonder what happened to them all?

Anyway my incident was in the early 90's and the little girls next door had no idea about such evil things.

 

Dave, correct me if I am wrong, I am not a authority on the 33/34 Fords but didn't the 34 Vicky have a trunk? HRP

 

Rat rod, chitty chitty bang bang, dune buggy are just a few I’ve gotten with my 26 T modified

 

Nah, just bad at math....

 

at the nationals accouple of years ago walking up to my 55 T bird heard a guy say somebody sure fuc*ed that one up. made me laugh

 

View attachment 5236943 was at the hardware store was driving the 41 convert someone comes in says whos driving the cool old car outside . I think he is talking about me but he is not . there was a poorly painted Chevette outside View attachment 5236943 that he was talking about

 

A customer of mine that was a custom but O/'T car guy sent me photos that I needed via email. At some point in our messages, I sent him a pix of my 1950 Chevy panel truck, profile, from the side.
He thought it was a Chevy *HHR.

*If you don't get it.... look it up.

 

that thing would look good on a 4 wheel drive chassis

 

Before my avatar was orange, it was root beer metallic with pinstriped flames. Old guy asked me why I had worm tracks all over my car.

 

I hate those cars...

 

daughter was having a sleepover next morning wife and kids were going shopping . when they went to leave the wifes cars battery was dead so they drove to were I worked at the time in my 40 coupe to get my truck . wife said the girl was acting funny found out later she was embarrassed to be in such an old car
