  1. This one still had the flathead and two man body, the one with the OFFY had a new one man body, still a good deal at $10,000. Sorry for the Post War slip Walt.
  2. Who owned the red wire wheel & tire in the upper left corner?
  3. FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!! The tour card I cleaned out of the Babcock when it was owned by Dr. Henry Minot in the 1970's. Now to find some more details on the Tour and other cars that were on it. Seventy seven years ago the car was in the hobby, glad it will be out at events again with the new owner. Bob
  4. I remember buying Vol. One # 1 at the Barrett Book Shop in Stamford Ct. it was a magical moment, some time around 1961. Somehow it wound up in a box in the basement with other early issues and is now water damaged, I need to treat myself to replacements. Bob
  5. ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA FORUM. I thought this crap was BANNED or got threads CLOSED. How about Forehead tattoos for the EV people so we can recognize them walking?
  6. Hard to beat the good looks of the 1956 Ford pickup. Bought one back in 1975 in LA and drove it home in 5 days, SBF powered.
  7. It is the ARCA Ford Amilcar one of my favorites from the sports car racing club of the 1930's. Someone will confirm that there were two brothers that got the car for cleaning out the garage it was stored in. Is that common up in Massachusetts?
  8. I prefer the car in black & white photos.
  9. Thanks! I see Ben once a year at Labor Day Lime Rock, worked with him for years back in the 1970's.
  10. Selling America on something they don't want has never gone well.
  11. Maybe the most historic car there, should get fastest time of the day. Bob 🙂
  12. I share the same outlook, enjoy the cars and people I like, ignore the cars and people that wish to change my ability to enjoy MY hobby. Bob
  13. That is why production on the second twin sister never started.
  14. Discovering the Antique Car hobby at 10 years of age in 1961 may have been my problem. If I had amassed the funds most 40-50 years old do today I'd have started out with better cars. Then again I'd have missed all the people I've met over the past 62 years, I'm still happy with how things are going. Bob
  15. At the same time steam powered pumpers where still in use by the fire departments, and you had to hitch up 2 to 3 horse teams to pull the things, rarely was a home chimney lost.
  16. It wouldn't hurt to post photos of the trim pieces you are looking for. With 60 years in the pre war parts swap meets I wouldn't know what they looked like if I was standing them.
  17. Charts & grafts, nothing that effects my joy of the hobby. Hagerty will still make money, good for them. Next senseless internet article that others find to be must read material...............
  18. I had some hands on experience with the restoration of the Bugatti airplane all wood construction, it never flew. Both engines now power race cars that where never built.
  19. I had a lot of my "Dream Cars" all of them sold to cover kids college bills. Looking back at things 20 years after graduation I'd highly recommend that all parents allow their kids to pay for the four years on their own.
  20. I'd like to attend some year. If my friend is running The Old Gray Mare, that is the car to put your money on for fastest time of the day. Good luck with the Stanley! Bob
  21. Where is this Speedster Forum you speak of, how do we find it?
  22. What area if the USA uses this terminology?
