Hot Rods What you see today??

In the parking lot while volunteering athe the museum restoration center.\owned by one of the volunteers.

 

Don't see to many of these at the beach anymore

 

10-15 minutes before it was sitting at a gas station at the pump. Here it just pulled out of the lot.

Sad day when you get your big $$ car out and it fails you. Hope the owner knows how to work on it

 

Apparently Gemmens Ace Hardware in Hudsonville is the place to spot cool old cars.

 

Found this split rear window car down along the river by my house..... Can anyone ID it?

I had walked right past it many times without seeing it... Id drive it

 

Went to three car events over the weekend and took one pic. Too many friends to talk to, so that is what kept me busy instead of taking pictures.

 

Gassers At The Local Show...

 

Chopped 40 woodie! Very nice….I will not comment on the POS beside it..don’t ask.

Hello,

While driving downhill to get some gas for our daily, we came across this old Chevy Nova 2 sitting in an empty parking lot in an industrial building. The place was deserted and no other cars were in the lot. So, the guy driving must have been a supervisor or owner of the business. Usually, the lot is packed with visitors and the second lot is also full. But, it was the weekend and only “workaholics” use an empty office for work.

The patina of the old Chevy Nova seems like a lot of old cars relegated to park outside in any coastal community. Most small houses have only two car garages and so, a third “old guy” gets the side yard or driveway. So, the rapid rusting is always prevalent in the “salt air” environment. Despite, the “April showers, May flowers scenario,” there is not much one can do for daily/nightly salt air creeping around all yards… and metal objects. YRMV

Who knows, it could have been an SBC motor and 4 speed along with Positraction in the rear. But, one can never know unless inspected up close and personal. It would be a perfect sleeper… But, it is always wise to remember, “Rust never sleeps!!!”

OR…

Ideas come and go with a whim. Perhaps a custom Chevy Nova El Camino for two old folks or a custom Nomad style Station Wagon would fit in those old two car garages with plenty of space for other projects.

 

Not today, but yesterday. Saw some familiar cars to the HAMB and had a great time for dinner, ice cream and just talking cars. Mark was a great host while I was in town for business.

 

Driving across 70 in Kansas toward Colorado for my son’s graduation and stopped for lunch in Goodland. Just happened to trip across Matt Murray’s shop. Tons off cool stuff to see, but didn’t get to catch up with Matt since he was out for the afternoon.

 

Very nice 53 parked beside me Friday nite in Garden Grove… near 70 cars.

 

This was last week in Whittier… I didn’t want to miss posting it.
