    Been chasing demons for much of summer as reported in earlier posts. (Actually Gremlins might have been easier to catch:rolleyes:)

    Thinking everything has been sorted out and fixed, I figured it was time for a longer ride.

    On the way home after filling up, I did a double take in nearby Portland CT to see this amazing site:

    Felt like a kid again taking some quick photos thinking maybe someone would come out and chase me away.

    Looks to be a ‘36 Ford Cabriolet, or Convertible Sedan with the Pines grille treatment.

    Considering the Merc is being auctioned off (January I think), I would assume Wayne is the acting Rep/broker for the family.

    Rocky, So taken by the Merc, I didn’t focus on the Ford there. Here are some photos from previous events. I did talk with the owner once but due to CRS I can’t recall much besides the fact that it’s local to the area. Nice looking car.

    As a follow up, at a cruise in a local brewery in town, I ran into the gentleman in the upper left hand corner of the photo below snd asked him “Do you know where I can find a car like this?”while showing him the pictures on my phone. After a quick laugh together we had a really nice conversation about that fine car. It is being readied for Mecum in the near future.

    On the way home, was able to take this picture of the sun setting over the hops:

    If you watch the show, the garage bay doors in the last photo are the same as F40.
