Hot Rods The REAL deal - 1960s Model A

I told my uncle Norm Custer from Lawton, Iowa that I was working on a Model A hotrod and he brought this picture to our July 4th party.

This is his car, the real deal, from the early 1960s. What a great shot! Captured for all of us to enjoy.

 

Very slick....and channeled too. What motor?

Oldsmobile.

 

I'm afraid to ask, but whatever happened to the car? I assume it's long gone if he's showing you pictures of it.

Wow that is cool.... Olds engines the choice of 50s hot rods!!!

 

Nothing like a REAL hot rodding moment captured in time. Thanks for the cool pic.

 

The sad thing is ... he knows exactly where the car is. His story: He was hunting in South Dakota several years ago and came upon an old coupe sitting in a field. He just had to take a closer look and unbelievably, it was the shell of his old Model A. He found the nearest house and talked to the owner. The old man said; You see, this was my son's car when he left for Vietnam. My son never came back so I don't want to sell the car. So, there it sits. Rusting away.

 

Sad story.....at least he got to see it one last time.

I like it!The Model ''A'' that is.

 

Man that's too bad. I'd go back and explain that it was his car before the guy's son bought it and it would be a great tribute to his son to have your unlce return it to it's former glory.
