Then we left and drove to Dick Nash's house. Dick has a 50 Lincoln custon. It's for sale for under 20K. Nice car with a 337 flathead w/auto.

 

here a shot of Dick's lincoln

 

inside of Dick's garage is his current project. 1937 Zephyr custom.

 

back side view of the the Zephyr.

 

Then we drove to leadsledmerc's house to see his Model A sedan that's getting SLAMMED! He was going to weld up the frame as soon as Woody and I got out of his way.

 

Here's the A-bone

 

one last shot of the "tourists" before Woody and I hit the road to put some wear on our tires. It was a beautiful day for a tour. The temps were finally above freezing and I could stow the drivers door curtain and turn off the heater.(the fan slighly drowns out the sound of my pipes)

 

should've told me know, i still have mine on the road, i would have put the top on & cruised over!!

Jim,
It was just supposed to be breakfast in Wareham. Then it just evolved. We'll have to make plans for a real tour. Maybe we need to plan to just meet for breakfast somewhere in between. How far are you from Middleboro? There's a nice "fifties" diner there.

 

i'm not sure how afr marlboro is, but Wareham isn't that far for me, nice ride over there!!

Middleborro, not Malboro. It's only about five miles from Star drive-in.
It's just off of 495 and Rt 18/105

 

It was another great day cruisin the area.
Dick's asking $18k for that '51 baby Lincoln. It's got some Barris history behind it and it's a real clean car all around.
The Zephyr is a '41 he's been workin on about a year and he hopes to get it out for choping this year.
Good eye Dennis!

 

Thats the best looking model A coupe and Roadster I ever saw.Geeze,who built that A coupe,I wonder.To bad the winter is going to be long,can't wait to see that coupe.

 

John, you're too much. I guess you'll just have to wait until spring.

You and your dad should be proud.

 

Yeah, and we've got 2 inches of snow on the ground in western Mass!!!!!! You coast guys got it made in the shade !!

Don't you mean, "Made in the Rain?"

 

Great pics! It's nice to see some other members from MA and RI on the board, I was starting to wonder if there were any.

Seems like you guys are in my neck of the woods, I used to live about ten minutes from Star until I moved to Newport.

 

wow - cool cars - hey I am going to be in Ashburnham this weekend - anything going on????

 

Thanks for sharing, nothing like "moving hot rods" and garage tours. Great pix.
