Hello Forum Members:

I am Tony M. and I am from Calumet City, Illinois.

I like:

Ford Flatheads
Ford Model A
Pre-war Ford V-8 autos
Pre-war Buick 8
1971-76 Cadillacs

I am a World War II historian and published author.

I own a 1953 Ford Flathead engine which I am going to have rebuilt for speed with the view of using it with a 1932 Ford Three-Window Coupe project (Repro frame and body).

Thanks all for the welcome.

Franco, I will always love those old Buicks. And Silent Rick, I am near Holy Cross Cemetery down old Michigan City Road. I'm in the area known as Frog Town. Palos thanks for the invite. Me and my bro and my dad may just take you up on it.

welcome, love the intro

 

Welcome,
Great taste in cars and history. They definately go hand in hand. Like so many, my grandfathers fought in the second war. One in the Navy and the other fought in a sherman tank with Pattons army. We owe so much to all of them.

 

Welcome. WWII history is the most interesting part of history!!! =] To me anyways... I hope you enjoy your time here.
