God hates a coward!

One of the most beautiful Chevrolet's ever built. I wish I knew where you guys can find all these cheap cars. I'd take a dozen of these for 20 and a dozen convertibles for 30. So long as they are this nice or better.

Try the CCCA website. Problem solved.

I assume you have a vinyl top. The top should just about sit on the pins with the use of the motor. Putting your hand on the top with minimal effort should pull it in place so you can latch it with the other hand. That is how original GM vinyl tops from the 1950s and 1960s work. Many installers over stretch a top trying to make it wrinkle free. I have heard the "it will stretch" line many times. But they can only stretch so much even on the hottest of days. Always store vinyl top cars with the tops up. This will help avoid shrinking problems. I have seen cars that have had the tops down for 5 to 10 years. It takes an act of congress to get them to latch again. Cloth tops are so much better. They do not shrink and always fit the same.

I used to, then I started putting them on paper. Then a few made it to the model stage. One almost went full size. I have friends who still get paid to dream about cars and then draw them. There is a good chance some of you are driving the end results.

Outstanding!

Today was a perfect day to drive a Model A.

That kid is doing a fine job of driving!

Fire Engines are a lot of fun. Everybody at a car show wants to see the fire truck.

"In the style of" usually used on Full Classics that are not real. "Good for the age" means it is going to need a full restoration. "Museum Quality" means absolutely nothing. "Concours Quality" means absolutely nothing, I have stood next to cars a Concours D'Elegance that need complete restorations. "Adult Owned" usually used to describe heavily abused performance cars. "Jay Leno is going to buy it if you don't" used by sellers with no chance of pawning their mess off on anybody. "Man its cool" used by brokers who have no idea what else to say because they were selling atv's or used boats last week and just got in the "game". "They all did that" used to explain away obvious mechanical problems by someone hoping that you are more stupid than them.

Looks to be Packard.

The amount of time somebody has done something has nothing to do with how well they do it. I was on a construction project once and a dump truck driver backed onto the site in the wrong place. Several people were trying to stop him, and he ignored them all. The driver promptly became stuck in the soft ground we were all trying to keep him off. Once he was completely stuck the driver climbed out and looked at the mess. I asked him where he learned to drive. He replied, "I have been driving dump trucks for 25 years". Without skipping a beat my friend replied, "Well you have been doing it wrong for 25years".

Not really drive photos but here they are anyway:

Most auction company's terms state that all information comes from the seller. They go on to say anything that the auction company says, prints, or dose means nothing and is just for entertainment. Furthermore, it is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inspect the item being sold and form their own opinion.

Most of the problem is that they just do not care.

It is a good idea to inspect all "new" parts and compare them to the old part you are replacing. Never trust a new part. Dale Earnhardt lost the Daytona 500 once because of an inexpensive part failure. After that every "new" part that was purchased by his race shop was inspected and tested before use.

Looks like a 1949 Crosley.

Twenty years ago, I drove a 1932 Ford Roadster from Ohio to California and back. A friend and I went to the L.A. Roadster's Show. Everybody should take a trip like that at least once.

Ouch! I feel your pain. Many years ago, I had a 1936 Ford Deluxe 5-Window Coupe at a show. I happened to look over and a woman was sitting in my rumble seat. I calmly walked over and asked her if I could help her. She announced she wanted to buy this car. I said that's great and told her my asking price. She got a look of panic on her face and said this car shouldn't cost over $10,000 dollars. To which I replied get out of the rumble seat without hurting my car. I made her take off her high heels to get out. The good lord only knows how she got in with them on and didn't ruin my seat. Some people have no respect for other people or their possessions.

The problem with websites and magazines is once you have one it needs to be filled with articles. Collect what you like, not what someone who is not you tells you to collect.

Last night was a good evening for a ride in the country:

I made a few new friends today.
