Not recommended for radial tires. I had them on an old VW and the tire flexed so much that the port-a-walls wore a 1/4" grove in the sidewall at the outer edge.. Looked great, were cheap and they eventually turned brown too.

If I had done that stunt my AMC, I would have crashed thru the up-slope of the dilapidated old bridge and plowed directly into the water taking most of the wood with me. Like in the Dukes of Hazard, I think movie stunts are very expensive fakes, not to be tried at home. Like when somebody says, "Hey,watch this!", chances of seeing a disaster re pretty high.

We know a couple that plays a driving game involving spotting cars with one headlight burned out, it does not involve changing the light bulb. Anybody here ever play it? Perdiddle When you are driving down the road and you see a car with one headlight out kiss your had and hit the roof and say " PERDIDDLE!" and its a sex credit after ten...collect! *Kisses hand**smaks roof of car* "PERDIDDLE" "That's my 10th one time to collect

That's the way to do a Car Show!

While I don't know Roger, I agree it would look nice parked next to anything.

While trying to find a 57 Ranchero to buy, I've seen most of them with FORD on the front between the hood and the grill. A few have Fairlane in script in that spot. Are they both correct?

Earl. You are not to old to learn, as evidenced by you getting out of the Florida summer heat. Packards shouldn't be to hard for an old Buick guy. Now you'll find that 41 Buick you've been obsessed with and discover you love flat heads.

My Windows 10 Computer gets the messed up version, this Windows 7 Laptop gets the old style. What's Up????????????????????

We've owned a bunch of old Fords, once owned by Henry Ford. However, they are not rare because all the Fords made prior to Ford Motor Company going public were owned by Henry.

Steve, Could you post the pictures that we could not open, making the whole discussion understandable to the rest of us? Is this one for the Hill Climb or the auction at Hershey? Or a custom bodied show car? Sounds interesting but a mystery without the pictures.

Submit it to the publication that supports the marque that you are writing about. That way its shared in the public domain'and many people can use it. Some publications will even pay for good informational articles. I find it a lot easier to get published when I offer the article for FREE.

Victoria Lynn, Now you are sounding like the rest of us. I think the hook has be set as they say on the Fishing web sites.

Padgett, It made me sign in again to give you a like for the mouse clue. Trimacar, What are you using for bait in your mouse traps?

We do a lot of AACA Tours, like the Sentimental & Glidden and tow to the tours with our Airstream DP Land Yacht with our car on a open car trailer behind. We have AAA Plus RV. In the last 20 years we've used it twice. #1. A Sentimental Tour in Virginia, the Stromberg 84 on our 1934 Ford Fordor went on strike AAA took us on a flatbed back tot eh campground where I had tools and another carburetor, Problem fixed. #2 The on last years Sentimental Tour in Salisbury, NC Airstream quit near the Charlotte Motor Speedway and AAA came to the rescue with the biggest wrecker we'd ever seen and we were towed to the campground in Salisbury. I found a local guy who came out and found the problem (Bad fuel cut off solenoid) It cost AAA $800 and the driver wouldn't take my tip. I knew (Or thought I knew they wouldn't tow the trailer), and called another Sentimental Tourist who came down from Salisbury and towed our trailer & car to the campground. (Nice to know other tourists) We've been with AAA for 30 years and the $100 premium is a bargain with a 100 mile limit. That's enough for our emergencies, because the parts and tools are at the trailer and all we need to do is get back there

Wingski, I know your said Model A, but take a look at this 32 Ford Tudor, which I bet would do anything you want in style and reliability.

Congratulations a belated Happy Birthday. I've always admired the people like you who came before me in this hobby and are still enjoying it. When we lived in Florida, we knew Ken DeWitt who lived to 99 and was still putting new steel Model A bodies on original Model A chassis at age 96,97 & 98. He celebrated his 100th birthday two weeks ahead of time and then died. He loved to tell the funny story about his artificial leg and getting it stuck between the pedals on his Model A while driving on Gulf Blvd. In trying to free it, it came off. He had to reach down and pull the leg out, now he was driving along waving the leg in the air to the amazement of the other motorists. Ken was an example to us all to enjoy life& antique cars as long as possible with a sense of participation and humor.

Again it;s a definition thing, First old car I purchased includes all the cars I ever owned except the one new one. I'll limit it to cars I bought as antiques not transportation too. My first 1934 Ford was 38 years old and I was 27, My first 31 Model A was 46 and I was 32, first 1915 Model T was 66 and I was 36 and so on and so on. I always thought antique cars had to be older than I was, because I never thought of myself as old or antique. The cars that I had or knew as a high school kid are and were just old cars, no nostalgia there! Now they are "collectible", but not to me. \

What great car at a reasonable price. It will soon be 100 years old and can carry a lot more people in a parade than the Model A Roadster in the garage. Paint the fenders black and enjoy it. I found one like it 40+ years ago while I was doing my first 34 Ford, couldn't afford two at a time. To bad. but I bet I couldn't have duplicated this one for $12,500 in any of the last 3 decades..

It would make an awesome Resto-Mod. Where do we bid? (To save it, of course)

One seat appears to be like original and the other on the same frame is a restoration with a slight different pattern. With the proper seat frame, your upholstery guy can make the material & pattern match whatever you want. If you have a picture of the original and the right frame, you're in business.

Those two Coupes oictured have the same front seat as our 1934 Ford Fordor.

We all had to start in the hobby somewhere. This is a great beginner project and if completed as very unusual truck.

I use 50 PSI.
