History The Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum

Its on my "Bucket List", sure hope to get there someday. Bob

 

Well Bob,how full is THAT bucket with spare change to get up here?!

 

Eddie, I sold it to the guys that have the 16 dodge touring--black un restored in the pics... Buy they opted out of my block and I was thinkin of bringing a graham back to life... from scratch using my "hot rod" as a pattern. I took a lot of pics of the original before I ruined it.

We should start a once a month meet for hot rods, I know a guy with a 40 ford coupe and another with a couple hot rods... There has to be more hiding here. Might be neat to start something forsharing tricks and help young guys quit the ricer stuff.

I'm sure any one of us would be glad to show you around '73kid Bob'.

 

I would love to make up there to see everything. Thanks for the pics.

 

GOT BRASS ??

Thanks for Sharing...........

 

Austin,there are a few guys in the Vernon Nash club that do hot rods.You should hook with them.

 

Real Classics and plenty of style will never go out of favor with car lovers.

The detail on these cars is really something very special.

I just remembered the rear axle in that OFFY Midget was once mine. The 1906 Compound used to live about an hour up the road. I really like the fact that all the cars in the collection are extreamly good picks, most were once in other great collections, Henry Austin Clark's and Harrah's. Bob

 

Bob,don't forget that some also came from the J. Parker Wickham collection.

 

I would be down for that .I ran into a guy on Cushman st. who was driving a Model A.He made my day.

 

I made it there a couple of times this winter, the last time for one of the "Under The Hood" tours. Highly recommended.

It's great having all these different approaches to what was then still a new technology, side-by-side. One of my favorites was the disc drive on this CarterCar:

 

Thanks for posting the information and all the great photo's of some real classic cars.

I have a friend who owns a 1921 Oakland that was restored about 20 years ago and still looks in great shape.

Wonder if I could get that Fronty in the Oakland? That would make a great little hot rod, beautiful car.

Thanks for sharing the photographs, what a collection. Would love to get to Alaska.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics, of this incredible collection of history.

 

This should be on everyone's "bucket list". ThAnks for posting Bruce.

 

As i recall, the sleek black Southwest Chrome Outboard midget was a surprise Birthday present from son Jay, to his Dad, Parker

 

I have more pics, but I have finals this week... So it will have to wait!!

 

Thinking about Making a trip up in AUG... Going to sell the old lady on a trip to Cheena.. and maybe a "side trip that will only take a hour..."

If any of you guys in Fbanks need I could do a Hamb relay from anch/ valley area...
