J.C. Penny offered a lifetime warranty battery for $100.00. This was when a regular battery cost around $35.00. Over my wife's objections I bought...
I put a pair of Fomoco 6 volt trumpets behind the grille of my 1956 12 volt Victoria. Very LOUD. But nothing to compare with my friend J Paul who...
1966. Bought a set of 5 Firestone Deluxe Champion blackwall tires for my 1956 Ford Victoria. We knew the store manager and got a super deal. $100...
Like hearse owners say, "Don't let your first ride in a hearse be your last."
No one has mentioned "Boston Blackie". Drove a couple different custom cars around LA accompanied by his girl friend Mary and their Dog Whitey....
Very funny! Love it. My wife dealt antiques. At one event, another dealer's girlfriend was out of sorts with him. She prepared his guest greeting...
Sincere regrets but glad you're both OK.
Must have been special order because it's a Fairlane Victoria, and not the cheaper MainLine.
If it's free, rent a box truck with a lift gate and rent a storage unit if you don't have room at home. Bring a friend and a cooler with cold...
Love this 39. Done right. Any info? [IMG]

Interesting coincidence that poster dan c has lucas doolin as his icon. Bought a JC Penny Lifetime battery when they came on the market. Cost...
Very interesting collection of unusual customs. Love the 58 Biarritz. Thanks for posting.
Admire your commitment and stamina.
Be patient with PayPal resolution. Speaking from experience. It will take quite a while but PP will likely come through for you. Good luck.
Very slick. Thanks.
Anybody know what this is? Fomoco?
Funny. And true. I have a visceral aversion to laugh tracks. They tell me that I am too stupid to appreciate the brilliant repartee going over my...
Hod Rod has moved on. I haven't (like most HAMBers). Will not renew.
Ken Costello was the first owner and commissioned the build by Hank Fournier. Hank's previous build was a 1936 Ford 5 window coupe. Interesting to...
Thanks everybody. Looks like the 4 barrel will provide additional under hood clearance.
Check out Ken Costello 39 Ford on Kustomrama. Later owned by Willy Ouimette. Chopped and sectioned (which is responsible for "visually" raising...
My subscription started January 1956. Hot Rod and times have changed. I haven't. Will not be resubscribing.
Very funny and likely all too true.
Incredible work.
