  1. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ This can only be a nightmare to get involved in.
  2. @JACK M where was he when you were selling. 😂
  3. The way my dad told it, he bet the guy the cost of the toll fee that the Bronco would make it and it did, so he didn’t have to pay. 😆
  4. Miss NH in the fall. My dad’s Bronco had a sticker “This car climbed Mt Washington”. Grew up in Goffstown and lived in NH until 1991. Have never made it back.
  5. It’s not that hard to find women who like standards. I have several friends who do and so do I.
  6. I like the color it is now better also. I was a bit surprised my dad had it also, but he appreciates the design and always wanted one. PS Love the Ranchero. My dad tried to give me a 60’s version in High School and I passed. I would have liked a ‘57.
  7. I literally got rid of at least a hundred dad had. I’m shocked I bought another one. 😂
  8. When I ran the numbers for the Retractable, I discovered it should be coral sand and colonial white like this model. The seats were brown also. I couldn’t believe it when a saw an ad inline for this from Target. (They have several classic model cars, which I didn’t know. Of course I had to have it even though I kept one dad has in black and red. Later on I found some notes he made when he broke down the numbers and it was the same info I had come up with. I was glad I got it right and it was like he was telling me I did well. 😂
  9. You are kind of an ass, but I miss you. We should do a cruise soon. 😂
  10. My sister lives in Vermont. Another in NH, which is where I grew up. Love fall in NE. 💗
  11. So nice to see the fall pics. Especially this year when we all need a “pick me up”. Thanks for reviving the thread @Reicholzheimer! I hope to get my Ford out this week while we see some sunshine here in Oregon.
  12. In our state he will likely be out of Jail in less than 24 hours. https://ktvz.com/news/fire-alert/2020/09/14/suspect-arrested-after-brush-fire-set-near-portland-freeway/?fbclid=IwAR2NWGfuKYbk8_mEtOi-8e2snmDK-E_k5fEwjWkUX48Oh0Z3wdPgGDzyCrk
  13. There was arson and they’ve made an arrest.
  14. So glad to hear you and Cherrie are okay and your home is still standing! I'm crying too. Give her a big hug for me. Take care and check in when you can here so we know you are ok. God Bless!
  15. I also and trying to get a resident to check his house. They are allowing residents to walk into Phoenix from the Home Depot across the highway.
  16. There are evacuation centers in the area. My niece was at one. The highways have been shut down on and off so it can be difficult to leave the area. They also have friends in the area. I am sure he will check in when he can, but given the situation and lack of cell phone, it may not be right away. He lists a Skype address. I will see if I can reach him that way. If he has internet access, that might work if he still uses it.
  17. I hope we hear from John soon, I know we are all thinking of him. Sadly there are new fires are in Southern Oregon. Hopefully they get them out before they get too large and destructive. There are verifiable reports that some fires are being set intentionally. The one in John’s area that started in Ashland is being investigated. My heart hurts, my brain is numb. As I watch videos of my friends from around the state dealing with loss of life, animals, properties from the fires... I cry. ENOUGH!!! The only glimmers of hope are the reports of people helping each other. We need prayer, we need to help each other. We need compassion and to wake up and not let people divide us. Neighbors are helping each other, we will get through this. 💗
  18. Local Corvair clubs can help. There is a forum also. https://www.corvairforum.com/forum/app.php/portal
  19. This was a pic of my house yesterday. A crazy day to get a new roof. Praying for so many family and friends. These fires don’t usually affect so many towns, but mostly forests.
  20. Hi everyone, I am fine. The town where John lives is substantially destroyed. It’s probable that his house is gone, though I pray I’m wrong. More importantly I hope he and his wife are okay and were able to evacuate. Where I lived down there is evacuated as is most of Medford and towns south to the CA border. There is a huge fire east of Portland that has destroyed many towns and threatens Lake Oswego, Oregon City and many other cities. The Santiam Fire near Detroit Lake has Destroyed several towns. Video looks like a war zone on the major highway through there and is impassible. Downed trees, abandoned cars, entire towns burnt. All of these fires cover many miles up and down the entire State. This is very likely the worst natural disaster of our state’s history. This unprecedented. we normally have, at most, 2 “mega” fires a year. Currently there are 4 simultaneously. When the rains come we will have landslides and that will be horrible also. Washington and California are also having terrible fires. It’s almost too much to comprehend. There are many stories of people helping people evacuate animals, volunteering at shelters, rescuing people, etc. That is what keeps us going. 💗
  21. His mom just told me he will be featured in our magazine soon.
  22. Yes, I’m sure he will have some challenges during his lifetime, and this could help him have a leg up. He’s very industrious and adds pictures everyday to his “Friends of Anthony Schmidt” Facebook Page. He even signs each book by hand! He’s already sold 700+. Each book is numbered also. His pictures are really good. We always say we want to support youth in our hobby. This is a great place to start.
  23. There is a young man that I follow on Facebook. He has Autism and loves old cars. He takes pictures with his model cars and has even published a book. Someone even donated to him a ‘57 Ford. If you are interested in supporting him, here is a link for purchase of his book. https://anthonyryanschmidt.com/store/small-cars-big-inspiration
  24. Lincoln’s and T-Bird tops are hydraulic and a lot more problematic then the Skyliners.
