    These were given(emailed) to me by a customer. An old timer who came into my shop and started talking about racing back in the day etc. Anyway he said he had a bunch of cool old pics and wanted to know if Id like to see them? Hell yeah ....!
    He said i will bring them in next time. Ok so about a month later he comes in with his laptop and shows me the pics. He got his daughter to email them to me about 7 at a time so as I get them I will post them.
    They are all supposedly from Long Island and I seem to remember him mentioning a guy named Mario who owned one of the cars? I will get more info as he sends me more pics.
    Enjoy!!!!!!!

    Yes the color was a surprise! I had no idea what he was going to show me when he said he had old pics.

    Good stuff. I especially like the roadster pickup. Looks like its got a 28 body with 31 fenders to me.

    I like the 28-29 coupester (I think?) on Deuce rails/Deuce grille w/OHV engine (it looks like). Proof they REALLY did do them like that, with steel wheels, in the 50s...

    These are really great pictures, I'm guessing early '50s, maybe? Love the '34 sedan with the Desoto bumpers...

    What a rad T. Looks like they're stripping it down to race-mode (windshields popped out, roll bar installed, bed/turtledeck off and he appears to be removing his fenders?)

    I love how well it's painted and the interior...obviously it served him double duty as a street car.

    I'd guess late '50s considering that the '33 Tudor (which is to die for) is sporting that Gas Cl*** designation.

    More please!
