I don't think you can attach a photo to a PM. Looks like this, though....

 

Wow nice...I sure don't I would remember that,But I will keep an eye out.

 

Here is a better view of one...

 

These Studes turned up on the local classifieds site this week.

Looks like the Reaper is about to get the poor ol' Stude here...



An extraordinary cool model this Starlight Coupe, would be worth saving, but will be a major job.

 

1927 Dodge Brothers fast four.

 

Dear Mr. "Black",
This may be a difficult issue to explain to you, but there are some people (well, minority) who for some reason like old cars. They seem to think the old were somehow special, different from the ones we currently use. These people even have their sub-culture with magazines, meetings and even web-sites dedicated to this un-rational hobby.
As we currently know, Japanese cars are the best there is for our rational use. They are good mileage, optimal quality built, rational in design and their looks appeal to average audience. Among this hobby we discussed, however, there are people who appear to prefer cars that the great majority would not vote for best seller. Well, most of these nuts drool for 3-five chevys, corvettes, mustangs and 1959 Cadillac, but there are some radicals who do like the oddest things, obviously for totally un-rational reasons. Beware, if you should plunger into the web-sites of this sub-culture, you may even come across to hermit-like creatures, who admit to like AMC Ramblers...

 

the man says he has limited time space and money---they are rambler 4 doors hence the why---i have owned as many as 55 cars at one time so don't tell me about saving or collecting---the supply of ramblers far exceeds the demand---why not find more desireable cars to use your limited resources on ?

 

Blasphemy. You wouldnt catch me dead in a Japanese car. Give me a GMC or Chevy any day...hell, all the new Buicks are better than any japanese turd...


Anyway, here are a few old jeeps sitting at our place....I know I know, but I wanted to contribute SOMEthing...

 

That's the '54 to '58 style, the '52, '53 are different! Burt.

 

Those cab-over keeps are fricken cool!!!

 

Looks like a great start!

 

I don't recall saying I have limited time or space.I own 5 acres .I do work 6 days a week so I do lack the time right now but I'm only 37 .They can sit at my house until some kid that's 2 years old today turns 16 then he can try his luck with them.

 

Hope you shot the guy a good offer!!

 

Here is a 40 Ford Convert. It was saved and setting in my shop awaiting its new 303 olds engine 4 speed top loader and a columbia 2 speed rear

I found this salvage yard up in Minnesota. He was willing to sale everything and he had decent prices. If the link doesnt work, let me know and i will add a few of the pics. i took over 75 photos before my camera died. i want to say he prolly had 100 acres.

once i get back from Afghanistan in June i can post a business card.

 

Hot rod bones the link didn't work for me. post some photos here when you get a chance .

 

Damn I'd love to walk around that yard.

 

Me too!

 

Field Trip!!!...

 

This is a post war czech produced version of the WWII german Sdkfz. 251 halftrack.
It is called OT-810 and was made by Praga and Tatra. It has an air cooled diesel engine and an armored roof over the troop compartment, which both the original had not.
2,400 OT-810s were built and used by the Czech armed forces well into the 1980s. It is said that several hundred survive today.
It is neither very interesting nor very valuable. Often used by Nazi reenactors today.

the gentlemen was real nice and had everything lined out in rows. during that trip i was interested in the Cadilac row and got a pair of 59 caddy fins.

as soon as i can get home and get the card, i will post the information. he said everything is for sale.

 

Cadillac row ? Damn sounds cool lets see photos of that if you have any.

 

Where about in Minnesota is this place?

 

my camera died before i got to that row. didnt realize that my camera was set to take 2 photos at the same time, killed the battery fast.
