Artsy Fartsy pictures of my '29 Roadster

So I sold the phaeton. Turns out Model A Phaeton's were made for 5' 7" 150 pounder's, not me. But I fit just fine in a Roadster..........always have.

So I made an offer on a coupe. Meanwhile I was wading through all the Craigslists within 400 miles of me, and I found my dream roadster. This is it here. Full pressure B Banger with C Crank, Wico mag, Weber carb, headers, Borg Warner O/D, ready to GOW. Jumped on it!

Then the '31 coupe people got back to me and said 'yes' so I bought it too.

Anyways, as you can tell, my other expensive hobby is antique large format cameras and soft focus lenses that give the dream like effect you see here. I guess that means you'll see lots of pics of this car added here

Hope you enjoy some of them.

 

Here's the guy I bought it from. Bill McBride.

Yes, Virginia, those ARE $100 bills.

 

Nice shots! Old Bill there looks happy with the sale

 

Great photos!

 

Very nice loving the soft focus. What size large format are you shooting?

 

awesome pics!

 

Thanks guys. Yes, Bill and I had fun. Both of us went away happy.

The camera is a Kodak 8X10 but these are 6.5X8.5 inch film done with a reducing back.
