VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

I know this one has been posted before. Heck, it might have been me that posted it so if you have any objection to it don't look at it!

 

Right. And the Ford PU goes without saying. Also I think, speaking of behinds, I see the back end of a Woody. Also, the front end of a Studebaker, maybe 56?

 

Hey buddy, I think your neighbor to your right doesn't like you. It might be because of the ginger bread on your porch

 

Where's the "double like" button when you need it?

 

"Hey buddy ! the camera is over here!"

 

Looks great....but you know it had to ride like crap.

 

Hideous!!

This ought to bring all the middle school boys on the HAMB out in numbers.

 

Whatcha lookin’ at bro?

 

Yes, many years ago a friend of mine in Naples Florida had it in his shop completely apart. It was owned by a guy who lived in Ft. Meyers Florida, the guy also owned a 289 Cobra. I remember the dash board of the gold car on the floor under a table, it had less that 2,000 miles on the odometer. I heard the car was finished and and displayed at a Shelby convention, but I have not seen it since. My friend passed away a few years ago so I am unable to get any more info. If we knew the serial number the car could be traced through the club, I did that for a 289 car a couple of years ago. The current owner of that car is here on the HAMB. @Danvice

Okay, here is an update.
The car was owned by Bill Turner, he purchased it through Shelby American but it came from a dealer in Iowa. For some reason he had my friend “restore” it when it had very few miles on it. (that is when I saw it in pieces)
This article will fill in some of the blanks in the car’s history:
