    any vintage beer?
     
  8. 1961 Polara. I think that's the top end model, some unique trim pieces on those that are expen$$ive. Be careful you don't mangle it on the way out -

    This is very cool... The beer truck needs to be a full on recovery vehicle. IE service truck. you could pull a bike right inside and work on it!
    amazing

    mopars will go. buick is nothing more than a parts car. the olds is great, might turn that into a family car. the rocket engine is complete, even with air cleaner. the F250 can probably be my little pickup truck (I love the straight six with the glass bowl Holley). the flatbed just needs some clutch or brake work and then it's good to go, so I think I won't be using a trailer anymore! the beertruck is my biggest headache. I love it, my wife loves it, but how many trucks does a man need (a lot actually). it is good though, the rear end is bigger than the flatbed's rear end.
    you know what's the best: they're being delivered! I just sit here in the shop, car comes in, I pull it off the trailer, and that's all I have to do. getting lazy..

    Cool score, I was wondering about that carb "plate" myself... some sort of injection device?

    I hope that whoever delivers the stuff is gentle taking them out!

    the 'funky carb' is a Rochester AA. that's what they look like. as far as I know only on 1949-50 Olds Rocket. it has an air filter on the side. guess they were still figuring out how to do all that right back then. like I said those early Rockets are special
