Cars/projects you bought or saved in 2008!!!

Picked up this 1947 Olds convertible in May in Philly. Haven't done a thing with it.

 

picked up my 1938 Fiat Topolino the weekend after Labor Day.....droped it on top of the 28 A frame a friend gave me.....


been collecting stuff for my project LIL BEAST for a few months...


slow going due to having to shop in europe for some stuff....and making the model a frame work for the way shorter topolino....hope to drive it this summer....

 

Not completely HAMB friendly, but I'm sure I'm not the only one on here would have jumped on this, FOR FREE!!!

It'll go back to all stock and be my new daily, in several years I'm sure...

 

now this is a cool car, do you think rarer than my 1937 lincoln zephyr three window?

 

Wow, you guys did awsome this year. Makes what i got seem like nothing! i saved a 27 t coupe body, a 29 roadster, 31 roadster, 34 fordor, 34 vicky, 34 5w coupe, a couple 36 cabs, and a 36 3w. I wish i had that cut up 32 3w posted earlier! That is a sweet project!!!!

 

Here is one I saved and working on right now.

That Nash is cool!

 

I would love to see pictures of it and any and all information.
Mine is/was also a hearse/ambulance converted to a housecar. So far we cannot determine if it is factory,coach built or home made although if it is home made it was very well done.

 

Don't know if I saved or just aquired it . Like most they come and go so fast you forget some of them . Harms the 34 looks really great . But I do know I am keeping this one .

 

Leatherback or Special coupe? Whats the difference?

I think I saw Clark Kent changing in that thing.

 

sorry it too me so long to see this, haha

I'm told that they are pretty rare...but you know what? Everyone I know who owns a coupe has one of these! Hell, they are all I ever seem to see for sale up here! Maybe they were more popular here in Canada?

I thought I did pretty good...but damn, how did any of you guys have time to work on anything when you seem to be picking up something new every other weekend?!

 

I pulled my grandpas econoline out off the weeds this year. Almost ready to see if it will start.

 

Great so far guys!

Keep em comin!!!

 

A 55 Plymouth Savoy and a '67 Ranchero.

 

Got this in June...



And this in September...

 

Sledbuilder knew of this truck cab and asked me if i was interested in it..
It was buried on his godfather's property and either needed to get removed or it was going to be basically crushed..
So, he brought me back to where it was resting..and we removed it from it's would be grave..
Not much left, but i couldn't just leave it there..
35 Ford.

 

Bought this for my wife, 56 t-bird.

$25. Model A

 

...yeah, they were on oldIHC.com,...the blue/white one is gone, still have the green 46 tho, still for sale.

 

Got this early last year.

 

Heres what I started with and where I've gotton so far.

 

A friend of mine found this 40 Woody up in the mountains after the fires of 07. Was not visible until the trees burned and the snow was gone in the spring of 08. There are enough parts there that it is a builder.

 

Not saved.......the way I work on things..... but at least now it's warm and dry........
