Summer time is fun time at Poverty Flats

Thanks Chris, I got it from an 80 year old friend who used it as a young boy here in my little town to deliver ice to homes in the 40's. I am thinking a bolt on side car would be cool. Will be painting it all red too and adding balloon tires.

 

Looks like possibly a 32 Ford pickup cab and also a 32 Ford 4 door sedan shell. Yes, lots of snakes this year. I see them almost everyday.

 

The way I see it, it's free tin!

 

Livin the life Paul!See in Salina,Rob

 

Side car! Wonderful idea

 

Cool stuff, Paul...Hope to see you at Iola.

 

And then yesterday, I took a few minutes from my full plate to buy this former firetruck. Non rusty, low miles, V8, 4 speed, four wheel drive. It's going to Wisconsin......

 

Hey Paul, by no means do I want to hi-jack your thread, but can you help me ID this trike? Found it last weekend, it looks early 60's. Looks to be either a Police or Ice Cream emulating a Harley 3 wheeler.

 

No, but I want to buy it.

 

Looks great on the 47" tv screen!!

 

What an awesome piece of Americana. Ghost towns are fascinating.
A guy could buy the whole town, clean/restore it up and retire there!
Looks to have been quite some time since the town was occupied.

 

I sure do like the looks of that purdy red fire truck!

 

I bet you do!

 

Povertyflats, I'll be watching for you and your bodyguard at the KKOA show.

 

Thanks for making me smile Paul and Bob. The Abbot and Costello of the HAMB.
Look forward to seeing you guys at BTT50s and Maybe Iola.
The Ghost town thing is pretty cool. Ghost towns and vintage tin.

 

Is the limo repainted

 

Yes, don't let that big goon G***erlouie keep you away. Come and shake my hand. He is just doing his job!

 

Yes mark, stop and sit a spell at those events.

 

Yes by me and my trusty brush.

 

Cool ,Remember the thread when you bought it back,I dont know how or why you parted with it in the first place,That car is cool

 

I got rid of it the first time after the Sherriff came knocking on my door with a complaint about my "reckless" driving. True story. Now I don't care.....take me away officer!

 

Good to see you livin' it up in Paul! Have a great summer, see ya maybe in Salina.

 

Hope to see you too Megan, you need to ride in my Model A on the drag strip!

 

A job with no thanks I might add! I figure it is my debt to society, protecting the National Treasure, even when he calls me a big goon. Id still take a bullet for ya buddy!

 

Ha ha, well thanks till you are better paid then.....

 

Thanks Mark, hope to see you in St. Paul.

 

Living the life in the flats!!!! I dig that pickup, I want it! Now find a "restorer" who wants my good-running 36 flathead and 3 spd to trade me a 48 or 49-53 for it!

Poverty Flats looks like a lot more fun than Lake Wobegon. It's getting so the seasons don't change for me until there's a PF post about it
