History The American Road

If you have 30 minutes to watch this is a interesting video. HRP

 

I know this movie well.
My family was involved it it's production!
Ford Motor Company contacted the Southern California Horseless Carriage club,
to supply cars for the film. Through the club, my Dad & Uncle got involved.
From the 11:20 to the 12:10 mark, my dad is the driver of the 1903 model "A" Ford.
From 12:28 to 12:32 you will see my uncle's 1905 Buick going down the country road.
At 12:47 to 13:29 A family friend, Bill Collier, is the driver of my dad's 1909 model "T" Ford.
This was filmed around the time I was born!

 

Thank you Pete, Your dad was into the brass era cars, what did he think about your interest in Hot Rods? HRP

 

Well . . . I wasn't the first hot rodder in the family.
Here's my dad's '27 T high school car, around 1934.
and my older brother's '34 roadster, in 1960.
That's me & my younger brother next to the '34.

 

That is so cool, original cars & hot rods run in the family. HRP
