Great photo! Thanks for sharing.

We use our antique cars like everyone else in the world uses their everyday car. Lots of different ways.

Mike, I have a great 1931 Deluxe Tudor and some other great Model A's. They are all excellent cars and are ready to enjoy. Let me know if I can help. www.petersmotorcars.com Andy 419-668-1884

I started out with one, then two, and before you know it they had kids. Sound familiar. Five cars in a three car attached garage is a challange.
Now it's time to downsize come spring.
Like Noah kept telling the rabbits, Only 2!

How about GM back when it was run by the car guys in Design and Engineering. Not by accounting and focus groups?

They are making new old guys everyday!

Not exactly car related but in a way it is. I woke up one Christmas morning in probably 1954 or '55 and received an aerial ladder, tiller, fire truck. Stamped and cast steel. When I see the antique toy people at Hershey, I see the same truck for what I paid for my first car. One of these day's I am going to over come my willpower and just purchase it. I'm a big kid anyhow!
Did the apparatus in question look like this?

That is one way to bring home the bacon.

I was in the Army in 67 stationed at FT Belvoir VA just outside DC. I had just gotten orders to go across the pond in Jan. I had my 62 Thunderbird on base and was going to head home for Christmas leave. It started snowing the day before and a bunch of guys had their flights cancelled and asked if I had room to get to Chicago. Six of us and our duffel bags packed in the tied closed trunk of that four seater Tbird for a 500 mile blizzard conditions drive. I think the only reason we made the 17 hour trip was the weight in the car kept it from sliding off the road. I just couldn’t say no to anyone as we all knew this may be the last Christmas any of us may be at home. We laughed, sang when we couldn’t get a rock radio station, ate to many hamburgers, fries and yes beers and told too many funny stories. Two of the guys didn’t make it home after that and the rest of us still talk to each other and remember that trip.
Merry Christmas ?
Thank you for your service, Merry Christmas!

Ok with snow and ice come winter driving. What interesting winter driving story do you have? Did you drive a roadster in sub zero weather? Did you brave a blizzard in a Sedan with no heater? Did you have to explain to local law enforcement why you were carving donuts in the high school parking lot?

How about some interior and trunk photos?

The Medical Toppers MD RX DDS RN were kind of permission to speed. If you were driving a brand new Cadillac in 1950 and had a MD topper chances are you would not get pulled over if you were speeding and headed towards the hospital. Some of the gas station related toppers let the station attendant know your choice of fuel and that you were in the club for what ever promotion was going on. Other toppers are just fun, they let the rest of the world know where you have been. There are Fire department toppers as well as Military base pass toppers. Some of the most interesting are related to the ARMY AIR CORPS. Keep Em Flying and Remember Pearl Harbor are popular WWII era toppers. Toppers are a neat way to personalize your car. They are the predecessor or the bumper sticker.

I am looking at buying a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a 6.0 V-8 engine, 6 speed auto transmission, and 4.10 rear end. I plan to pull an enclosed trailer with a 37 Packard in it. Has anyone had any experience with this combo and how did it pull. Someone told me it might be underpowered. I am new to this game so I am looking for someone who might have some experience. Thanks.
I have been pulling with Chevrolet 2500 HD 6.0 6 speed and 4:10. I had an 05, 11 and now a 16. They are very capable trucks. I have pulled an enclosed trailer with a 1937 Packard Super 8 Coupe Roadster inside. No issue. Plenty of power, great suspension and trailering capability. If you upgrade to the Diesel and Allison you would have the most capable truck on the road. The Extended cab short bed 2500 HD with the Duramax has the best towing capability of any truck in class.
