Art & Inspiration Jalopies! Let's see them.

Thats just awesome! What year was this and where did you find it? Also what is the car?

 

Apparently he built it and went on a roadtrip when he was 15!

This popped up on the "Vintage photo's from day's gone by" thread... it'll take you a month to find it!

So I did the search thingy and found it on what I think is the funniest "CLOSED" thread on the HAMB! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=316151&highlight=clint+eastwood+roadster&page=12

 

Here is my banger, jolopy, rust bucket or whatever you want to call it...

 

Very nice!! Cool pic too!

 

^^^^^^ thats a bad ass picture, love the car, and the tractors in the background

 

Thanks I just read a little of the thread lol sounds like a lot of guys having fun. I didnt see the pic on the thread yet but I dig it man.

It's awesome that he was 15 and than went on a roadtrip. Can you imagine a 15 year old doing that today...People would freak out!

I love all these cars.

 

I don't think it stopped 1932. It's just the year of the cars. I should have written I want to see T, A, B's. That would make it easier. But it would cut away anything that might be a Jalopy but is not a Ford, Dodges, Chevys... What do I know.

Yeah, this car was on German Ebay for grabs. The dude never got it running... Whereabouts are unknown. I would not know that it's in Denmark now. You got a link to that video?

It's a T build from scratch, the turtledeck is the only real T piece on it. A Frame, Banger. Built by some speedshop in Great Britain. I'll post some more pics later, would love to give you the link to where I found it but can't find it right now, will have to wait till it pops up on Facebook again.

Any more pics of these two? Especially El Lay Mae (the lower one), I just know Moldy Marvin his webside, there these pics are in really crappy resolution...

I call it awesome.

See, that ain't a Jalopy in my book, not really anyway. It's a rusty Hot Rod. If a survivor, then most likley once really shiny. If built like that, then maybe shiny at some point in the future.

 

Here is mine in the building...

 

O.k, so it's not Roy 'Multi' Aldrich's T, but it still is perfection.

Thanks for the correction guys, it is obvious now that it was pointed out to me!!





Cheers,
Doc.

 

Roy Aldrich? Thought it was Clayton his T...

 

You're right, although I'm sure Clayton will be flattered by the confusion. Here is the Multy Aldrich T:



Note that it's an earlier car ('22) than Clayton's '26.

I think these fit the bill:

 

And a few more:

 

Absolutley.

That's awesome:

If I didn't hate spindlemounted wire wheels that scream "Bentley! Europe! Yay!" so much, I'd say this is my favorite pic so far:

Thanks for that!

 

Built at Buckland Automotive in Bedfordshire...

Might have been sold now but it was there a couple of weeks ago.

That belongs (in a different configuration now) to a fella here on H.A.M.B. I just photochopped it. Put some steelies with whitewall tyres on it, small in the front, big in the back, that'll be my dream car right here.



And one from my buddy, used to run a Banger, now Flathead.

I couldn't understand a word they are saying but this is the video of my Coupester in Denmark. It was running good when it left the states, I have video of the driving pulling it onto the transporter. Makes me sad to think I don't have it but the 49 shoebox convertible in the works is gonna cure those ails I hope.

100% Correct!

 

A homemade version using a 6 cyl intake for a plenum.

It's not Denmark my friend, it's Bavarian. They are southern Germans. The dude who was selling your car was strange, wanted to trade for a Cadillac, then not... But yea. No idea if he still has it or if it got sold. But the traditional movement here in Europe is quite transparent, I will let you know when it surfaces again.
