    I was looking at the other thread about Old Pictures and noticed it was getting a little "long in the tooth",... I ran across some old pictures I think you all will like,.. If anyone adds pictures to this thread, lets try to put new ones on that haven't been posted before.

    These just blew me away and wanted to share them with my pals on the HAMB,.. enjoy :).

    That and the old sprint car picture is from the Michigan State Fairgrounds,.... in fact all of these pictures are from Detroit or somewhere in Michigan. That parking lot is at the Ford Rouge plant.

    That's what it looks like to me. Both arms bent at elbows with a helmet between them. You can see his "farmers tan" on his right arm..lol

  7. The one with all the 42 Ford's from the back look like they are all painted in semi-gloss, compared to the Chevy in the forground. Military vehicles?

  16. You gotta wonder... Could one of those dark '46 Ford tudors actually be mine?

    Mine was Dark blue from the factory.

    We'll never know.
