Think it was a month or so that I learned how to enlarge the page on the computer, allowed me to read the "Small Print". Big plus was it enlarged your avatar, has some Phantom Courser features, the Haines custom on a Cord chassis, but what is it really? There is a list of the cars I've had in the past 60 years, only one that I'd pay a finders fee for the lead that allows me to buy it back. Bob

I’m going to try to list these oldest to newest… ‘23 Ford T roadster ‘29 Chevrolet sedan ‘34 Chevy 3 window coupe ‘38 Alfa Romeo replica kit car ‘40 Oldsmobile sedan (current ride) ‘41 Chevy pick up ‘48 Chevy panel truck ‘48 Austin Devon sedan ‘50 Dodge club coupe ‘55 DeSoto fireflight sedan ‘60 Corvair ‘61 Ford ranch wagon (2-door) ‘62 Chrysler Newport ‘62 Studebaker Lark ‘63 GMC carryall ‘63 Thunderbird A number of muscle cars and a few El Caminos and Rancheros… Probably 40+ motorcycles
55 Chevy 2 dr post 61 Corvair 55 Ford wagon 65 Mercury 39 Ford 40 Ford pickup 50 Mercury 51 Mercury 50 Mercury 51 Mercury 49 Mercury 50 Mercury 51 Mercury 49 Ford Probably forgot a few....... Still own 5 of these.
Just counting the ones that actually ran and drove. 51 Mercury coupe, 55 Metropolitan convert 55 Buick special 4 door hardtop with a 55 Super engine in it. The 48 pickup I still have bought and driven home as a 75 dollar beater. 23 T bucket that was a low buck steel body ride. 55 Ford 4 door with a Y block and automatic. We bought that after my wife totaled her 69 Barracuda fast back and she drove it to work and we cruised it on weekends. 55 IH 1/2 ton that I should have done an engine swap in and made into a daily driver after the engine blew up. Nice solid truck that I traded a paint job for. Two or three 60/65 Chevy - GMC pickups that I actually drove. Notable ones that didn't run that I had as projects 27 T roadster, I pulled the body out of a neighbor's field where I spotted it in the cat tails while hunting pheasants. Bought the chassis with a flathead from my buddy but I don't think that flathead ever woujld be capable of running. 34 Olds 4 door sedan. 47 Chevy coupe 55 Chevy BelAir 2 door post that I should have kept and stuck and engine and trans in. It had been someone's gasser at one time complete with Pontiac/Olds rear end and hole in the hood.
John has a very very long list. However there’s many off topic vehicles on it. I don’t think he stands a chance at winning this contest.
"Lower duct"...??? If you mean the one in the fender skirt, yes and no -that is part of the fender skirt and the car did not come from the manufacturer that way -I built those skirts myself... BTW sgtlethargic-THANK YOU for the compliment... R-

I know a few people that have a 32 ford gas cap so they owned a 32 ford, or a Cadillac hub cap and guess what they own a 59 caddy. Just a bunch of posers
I guess I am a slacker 38 Chevy that I've had for over 50 years 27 T...just finished 53 Stude (it's now in Florida) 49 Ford (chopped...the next owner made it into a show winner at KKOA) 29 Chevy that I did nothing to 64 Comet that I parted out 63 Fairlane...got it new 62 Plymouth Valiant...got it new Does wrecking dad's 58 Dodge and rolling his early 55 Chevy Pickup count? Yep..compared to lots of you I am a SLACKER
Aw man…I’m going to have to go edit my list. I just remembered that I have a 32 Iowa license plate so I bet it was on a 32 3-window Ford that I must have left off my list.
I been dragging vintage tin home since I was 14. Too many to list, or even remember? But here's some of the on topic finished ones. Most are keepers including the girl.
That 32 Iowa license plate can cover every car (and maybe some trucks?) that was available to receive a license plate in the 1932 calendar year in the entire state of Iowa, before the plate expired. That could be anything built before the end of 1932. You win! I'm not even applying. Through my 20s and early 30s, I bought, sold, parted out, and junked a bunch of cars and trucks to fund my dirt track racing habit. If I thought I could make a couple bucks, everything was game. There were a lot of cars and trucks that passed through my hands through my younger years, many pre 65, more pre 73. Many of those may have only been around a few days.
