    Not sure if this is in the right location..

    It has been a Couple of years since the death of my father and it finally occurred to me that it would be nice if I tried to find his 1926 Model T pickup. I have pieces of the Trophy he won for the "All American" in the Oakland Grand national roadster show 1961 or 62 not sure. I remember as a kid seeing the whole thing it was huge. Anyway I have some old pics here and if any of you recognize the car any info would be great. I know it's a long shot but worth it to me and my son. He was President of Riff's Auto club in Alameda,CA.
    Thanks in advance,

    Good luck with your search,I hope you find it as it was but the truck probably has undergone many changes since the Car Craft days. HRP

    I'm hoping it hasn't but you never know. I need to find the Vette that he used to tow it with too. He towed the T with a 61 Vette he made a hitch and a tow bar himself so he could take it to the shows.

    So far I googled the car club and got nothing, I think I will try the license plate number next.

    Would you happen to have the VIN? It might help by doing a state by state search of the vIn with DMV in each state..?

    the plate would have been removed in 1963 when the black background/yellow letter plates came out.

    I would also like to see this car again. I was in the Riffs for maybe 4 years 1958-62. Still have my club plaque in the garage. We were one of the clubs that organized to promote the establishment of the Fremont Drag Strip.
