I do believe the Limey is correct Going by location it would be safe to say it,s not a winter storage.
New shed - plenty of floor space left - maybe he's only teasing us with 1/2 his toys????????? Nice cars - welcome to the HAMB
Man this post and pics couldn't have came at a better time. I'd been getting my *** rode for a while about having too many cars and too much stuff. So much so that I even started to think that there maybe some validity in the opinions. Now I have new aspirations and will really give them something to ***** about !!!
Looks like they would have to unbolt the ''stops'' on the lifts to pull the cars off once lowered.This can't be a static display, they all look like runners. Yeah, hell of a 1st post!
filthy rich Con****uous consumption: public display of possessions that are known to be costly so that one's ability to pay for such things is flaunted there is a guy here with 58 nice running cars from the 50s in a warehouse. thats 58 cars that you cant have, and cant see driving on the streets If all the cool old cars were driven daily, this world would be a better place
Notice the power plant in the louver hooded roadster - bottom left? Quietest hot rod I have ever seen run - was built years ago. These cars do get used, I've seen many of them out and about over the years. [/QUOTE]
Bingo, the first to notice ..The `28 roadster in the lower left corner in which you are referring is an original `28 steel body. It's on a pinched `32 frame. It was built by it's current owner back in the mid `80's. And yes, it's ELECTRIC and street legal. Way ahead of its time. Eight batteries, Range - 50 miles, Top speed as geared - 55 mph. There's history with most of these cars and they get driven.
Notice? I've almost had my toes run over not hearing it pull into Manna's Donut Shop on Sunday mornings!
