History Fred's Slides

I spotted this in the box today and thought HAMB Summer Camp !

Note the rivets on the cowl .... super cool
Happy Friday

 

Cool pics!

 

Amazing. How rare are these puppies? Gary

 

Which Puppies?

 

The Toronado OHV kits. Gary

 

Now that I have a little time its back to adding cool pix from the print box.

 

I'm so dumb I thought there may have been a puppy in one of the photos duh

 

Skeezix,
Interesting photos. BTW, the TR-2 wasn't made until 1953 and... I hope I'm not wrong on this... the lady who owns this car might possibly be one of my older cousin's best friends. Both were Waves at Pearl at that time and when my family got there in 1956 one had a white TR-2, and my cousin had a Model A sedan and a Porsche bathtub. I sent the image to my sister and she might be able to confirm it. Regardless, thanx for the shots from the way-back machine. I don't know why I missed this image earlier. Gary

 

How cool that you may know one of the chicks above !
Tonight's visit to the box of prints is here - hope they are fun to look at even if they aren't yer pop.

 

Dad's 1919 T
His parents sold it when he went into Navy - they didn't want a grease monkey in the family
An cool wagon and a random GM product (?) with the door open

 

These are that same wagon - Taken about 1967 in Burlingame Ca - south of SF. Dad was probably scoping this for a project car but with 4 kids 3 and oops ( me ) projects were $ prohibitive.
Looking back I can only hope that the mattress remained at the scene
Plus it needed tires anyway

 

Not sure of the brand - Ford perhaps - but its pretty cool

 

Now here is a riddle- what is this ? Euro of some sort I guess.
I'll search for the front view.....

 

1939 Delahaye 165 ms figoni and Falaschi roadster

 

Wow that was fast - cool name nice lines too bad my pop didn't grab that one eh?

 

These three are among my favorites.
Push race win its that easy.

 

Here is one of the few pictures I have from the day that shows his true personality.

 

Darrin bodied Packard - 1940. Looks a little beat though

 

Further, my cousin can't place the ladies with the white TR. While I was pretty certain it was her and one of her WAVE friends, I guess not.
Rats. Gary

 

Here is a neat set of photos that include Dad and his buddy Ted using the latest in lifting technology to safely and effectively support this T

 

Very cool old pics! Thanks for posting!

 

Another - bit small sorry

 

I really like the pin striping here - if only this was in color!

Who recalls long trips in the Wagon with the push button transmission and the Desert Bag on the mirror? I do

 

Another and brother Mike on his ride

 

Not sure what this car is - not sure if I posted already either.

 

This Oakland is pretty cool

 

Not sure if this is a CORD but it looks a bit like one ... price is right any way.

 

Mid 30s Auburn boattail speedster.

 

Not hot rod nor custom but I like this wagon, the hub caps are pretty slick.
