Oldest car or truck on the H.A.M.B. ??

Man, I'd love to get my hands on something like that. I'd hate to think what one like that would be worth though.

Looks like I'll have to stick with my bike I built around an old kickstart Briggs & Stratton. It's up in Kansas getting painted right now. I hope to have it back in time to assemble it and enter it in a bike show in May.

Looks like a fun bike. Is that a Raliegh front fork? Some folks are going to extreme lengths to build old looking bikes that are using newer engines. Good cheap fun.

 

jim ya got me beat...1904 Pope Tribune...

 

bluto's got a rudge multi i'd love to have.

 

Not sure what the front fork is, I robbed it and the neck from an old frame I had laying around and built the rest. Had a blast with it at a motorcycle rally at Pawhuska, Ok until it threw a rod on the Briggs. I've got a replacement waiting for when the bike gets back from paint.

 

Wow, some great stuff there. I drive a 1918 Dodge bodied roadster.

 

1910 Oakland.

 

Not old enough, it's only a '22 or '23...

 

My great-grandfather liked the old stuff too.

He had a '99 Studebaker, it was electric, and it actually ran - sometimes. But he was more into the Stude stagecoaches anyway. I never got to meet him, he died a few years before I was born. But my dad has talked about that old stuff ever since, and that's the oldest thing I've heard him mention.

I'm sure I've seen a picture of my dad in it when he was a teenager. It doesn't have anything to do with being the oldest car on the HAMB, but it might be neat for conversation. Gas4blood, you've got a GREAT collection!

 

I saw a 1880 Studebaker coach on an early ford frame at nhra sac last year.
It was crazy, had pipes going to the back radiator so it looked like just a block up front. It had the biggest crowd around it all day. He drove it around too.

 

you really should think about boxing those rails http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

 

Wow...... I've taken your car's picture a couple of occasions in Indy. It always draws kudos wherever I post it for the leaning tower of power. Small world!
