is there any one here with a 1930's-40's car that is there daily driver ?

Hey, look up Tom Branch and his deuce. It is pretty much a done car, magazine car, and he drives it everyday, everywhere. Of course, it is Stude powered, so indestructible.

 

We do !

Here's a snap shot of my 'Purple-Hayes' Model A and my fellow Poor Boy brother Dave's Model A, both are our daily drivers.
My Coupe gets as good as gas mileage as my Ranger pickup, so why not?
Besides, it creates great conversations with folks at long stop lights almost everyday.

 

Well my 39P7 has a tad over 20K on it and it's used as much as my Harley

 

My 48 F-1 is my daily driver. It is my transportation and my work truck. It has been the daily for the past 4+ years. My other car is a 48 Chev convertible that gets occasional use.

 

Excellant guys. Keep 'em comin'!

 

You are a brave man!!!!!! I salute you.

 

hey where in jersey are you ?

 

I believe that too many cool old cars don't get driven like they should.
I went though a great deal to rescue this car from being crushed / parted out. I (re)built this car to drive, and after 4 months of laboring and ensuing setbacks (including a trashed engine) it's become a "rolling project". It's due to be painted in the spring. This car has seen too many winters that have taken their toll on the body to romotely consider driving it in the winter here in Minnesota. I will however continue to drive it as long into the fall season as possible. I'm extremely grateful to the folks here, and at other sites I've been referred to from here, for helping make this happen! So far it's been very fun meeting folks who gravitate towards this car wherever I go. With 65 rounds on her she goes down the road real fine - the suspension system was one of the very few that survived well.
Thanks again to all you fine folks here at the HAMB!!!
A friend hooked me up with a nice rebuilt double barrel Holley for her from 1967 for an upgrade in case anyone's wondering what that is.
PS If anyone has any affordable ideas for intake / exhaust it'd be very appreciated...

I'm here in Havasu for 6 months, and I drive this bone stock v8-32 Ford every day. Mrs Stimac insists that I leave the Yukon home for Her use

 

i wish. but it's hard enough driving a 60's car every day here in rainy/stormy ol oregon....

if i lived in california or somewhere similar, i'd drive a model a every damn day of my life.

 

Daily driven all of these in the past , though I wasn't doing huge mileage due to working as a long haul truck driver ;







Only snow shot I have , put 12,000 miles on her in a year ;



Old cars should be driven , not hidden

 

I have a modern car but I rarely drive it since I dont care for newer cars.
Its a 1966 Chrysler Convertible.

my favorite driver is my 1931 Ford coupe.
and my 35 Ford, and my 39 Ford pickup

sometimes I drive the 57 chevy or 59 Ford

 

I've driven my off topic car to work every day this week.

 

The '56, not every day, but anytime I feel like it. The '49 is definately an all-year driver and way more fun than any new car.

 

I've been driveing my 47 chevy sedan daily for 37 years. Twice over the years its been the only car the wife & I have owned. Its a streetrod so it rides and drives like any other car. Sorta
