History Rides of our fathers (post some pics from the past)

So I got a hair up my uh tail pipe to post some pics of the cars that my forebearers drove. Thought it would be fun to see our dads and grampas rides from the past.

Here are a few to start it off.....

Dads buddy, circa 1950

 

Some cars that my dad, and grampa owned.

 

this is gonna be a great thread. good idea. now I need to go dig some up

 

My Dad on left.

 

Cool idea for a thread!! My dad loved cars, but he kept them stock even though my brother and I nagged him to do this or that. This was one of his favorites, he bought it new...........

 

Awesome pics!

 

My Pops 1940 Ford coupe. Flipper hub caps, twin antennas, twin spot lights, flathead V8.

 

Here are a few from the family archives. My Grandfather in his 1903Stevens-Duryea-My mother and uncle in what I think is a 1903 Curved Dash Olds with a windhield and weather guard attached-My grandfather in a 1901(?)American Underslung-My two aunts in a speedster of unknown origin(I think it belonged to my uncle)-My mother in the same car-My great uncle Jim Smith posing next to his 1910 Indian motorcycle that he rode from Pittsford VT to St. Augustine FL (almost 2000 miles)in 1919! Took them(his wife rode on the back)3 weeks and 10 flat tires.This pic was taken after they returned in 1920.

 

Neat idea for a post. I'll play. Picture of my dad's 1935 Ford roadster. It went to a lot of rodruns in the 70's. It still survives. Not sure it is together though. Love to own it. Black with multi colored flames.

 

Some nice rides being posted! I love to see all the cars and rods from days past. Pretty cool.
Meaningful personal history.

That is epic! Even for today, but in 1910- and wife on the back? Epic!!

 

My dad's 66 nova from the 80's to present day [emoji106]

 

Great grandfather back when west Dallas was all dirt roads

My grandfather's 55

 

My father with his Harley and my mother in London Ontario

 

I'll start posting pics that range from the 50's-90's. Pic of the nomad is from about '73 and is mine now. You'll see some before and after pics.

 

Great grandfather, Grandfather, Father pix

 

krazy me !!! I came here lookin' for Girls....

 

Only photo I have of one of my dad's cars. We couldn't afford a camera back then.
He wasn't much of a car person but he liked this old 49 club coupe enough to put glass packs on it.

 

My uncle Bob's 30's DuPont roadster !!!

 

Wow! Cool Roadster! Lots of awesome cars.

This one is my uncles. The driver is my uncle Bill, who owned my '50 Coronet before giving it to my dad some 30 years back.

 

Dads '57

 

A few more!

 

This is same car shown above on the trailer and dad many years ago!

 

Paul55,

Do you know the history of the 34-5 Chevy? My Dad sold his in Gibralter about 65 when it was Nailhead powered.

 

Dad's '34 came from Paris, Tn and the older pic is from 59-60. Early 60's is was all black and was at the Autorama. Mid 60's got painted metalflake, as seen in later pics. Always had a sbc. He sold it in the early 90's. I've got a buddy, who lived in that area and his dad had a station/repair shop. He has shown me pics of a 34/35 that he bought in the mid-late 60's. Could be same car? I'll talk more with him. Paul

 

My dad's A in '63, he was 17. Flathead, dual 94's, duece grille and looks like A headlites with sealbeam conversions.

 

safariknut, Great photos! This one is an ORIENT buckboard with a rear mounter engine. Built in Waltham, Mass. Bob

 

jazz1 just so you have your families history correct thats a harley big twin flat head. the emblems on the tanks were from 41-46. the primary cover on the left side is for a 74 or 80 inch engine. you can see a few fins on the heads so its a flat head. the front brake on the left is harley. indians were right sided. the fenders are too flat for a indian. cool photo. cool very desirable bike. harley did not make civilian use bikes due to the war. the ones they did make were all grey. so i would say if it had not been repainted before the photo was taken to be a 41 or 46.

 

Good catch 37kid;my error. Somewhere around here I have the pic of the American Underslung.
