    This is a 1927 roadster my dad drove while in high school. He installed a Model A motor/trans/rear end. A local blacksmith forge welded the drive line. The photo was taken in 1950 after he sold it to his younger brother Coe.

    Thanks for sharing. Sorry about your dad, he was a true pioneer.
     
  7. Interesting mix of parts Karl. Guess the skirt thing didn't catch on with the T crowd.
    Please post any and all photos you have of his cars over the years.

    Thanks for sharing your memories, and that is exactly what your Dad was doing in that picture, making memories.
