....................Sadly, We never had them on this coast.

 

Cookie Osterhaut in the 88 outside Hal Rettberg in the 55, a URC race. The 88 was a former AJ Watson car.

 

Ol` Ed wasn`t big on landscaping.. was he ??

 

Spent most of his time peoplescaping.

 

For those wondering, Google Ed Gein.

 

Yeap…. Dangerous at any speed!!

 

Officer,,,, Your soooo big !.................

 

Nice batch of cars today. My cousin had a '59 black conv. with red interior exactly like the one SWI posted. Three speed on the floor.

 

Yes, It looks like The Lucy Evelyn, LBI, Beach Haven. Built as a "Schooner", in Maine 1917. Sailed along
east coast. Purchased for under $1600. and turned into a gift shop, 1949. It was 140' Lg. A fire in 1972, destroyed the attraction. I visited it many times in the 1960's while on vacation on LBI.

 

Got the Farmall out ok while volunteers pull a hose line. They may not save that one.

 

^ Fire was getting too close to the stake body truck, but it required a pull from the tractor to move it out.

 

Could always ask me; I'm a bit of a (self-proclaimed) expert. Lot of the info out there is incorrect or flat out fabricated.

 

With my handle, I must agree!

 

If your cousin had a Buick "exactly like the one SWI posted" then he had a 60 Buick.

 

No sir, the '59 Chevy in post 10447.
