JalopyBob Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I wish that I had a slide scanner. I have a slide of my sonstanding on the drivers seat of my 62 Corvette "steering" taken when he was about 2 years old. I let him drive it for the first time when he was 15. I let him drive it by himself with his girlfriend when he was 19. He is 22 now and does not know it yet, but the car will be his 25th birthday gift, with the stipulation that he keep it and pass it down to his son when he is 25. I would like to be around to see those pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89REATTAJIM Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Try to get that slide scanned & posted, would be neat to see. Here is my grandson about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I am hoping my Reatta will become his someday. He likes "Gandad's Atta". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Not as young as the little tykes, but here is me with my first car at 16 years old. 1931 Dodge Brothers DH 6 business coupe. Still got it. Then me at 55 with my second 1931 DB DH6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 You should be able to get the slides put on a CD and then be able to download them to your computer and then post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMF-Owner Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If this works, here is a collage of pictures we have been taking since 1998. There are actually a few more recent years that are not included. I wanted to have an unchanging object so you could see the change in the kids. I take this shot every Easter. The kids are Michael born 1990, Matthew born 1993, McKenna born 2000 (and a week old in one shot) and a Model T Centerdoor Sedan born 1920.Notice that the car is still in the restoration stage in the first shot. Enjoy.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant Mike Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 John What a great idea and family history around your vehicle! This will be treasured by those kids long after you are gone from this earth and will be shown to the future generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wk's_olds Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 We had several nice days in late Nov and early Dec this year here in SE Wyoming. I found it necessary to test drive some of the antique autos that I attend to. I like to have kids ride along some times because the kids nowdays have little knowledge of the vehicles of yesteryear. They enjoy the fun that goes with it, too! Here are a few pix of those activities: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72caddy Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 So here is this yers Christmas card that we sent out. It was my wife's idea to have it taken around the Dodge. The kids (and all the neighbors) love this car. The Z3 is the second favorite and the 72 Eldo conv. is the least favorite - I've had it over 17 years and including it in a family photo has never been an option! So the Dodge has the most miles on it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock_steve Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This was an out-take from our 2008 family Christmas card photo session (November '08). Getting two kids and four dogs (including three collies and one mini-poodle) all to look reasonably good AND at the camera is a mini-project in itself. The car is our 1954 VW Convertible, long-running Hershey car show veteran. Happy Holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I may have found the reason for my interst in old cars.This picture was taken at Christmas 1955 (when I was 10)It's a 1906 Autocar at the old Bellem's Cars of Yesterday in Sarasota Florida.The equate that to today, it would be like a kid born in 1998(10 years old) getting to sit in a 1959 Cadillac Convertibleand get his picture taken with his bother & sister.That's me in the back seat.

Rooster Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Took my 1954 Buick Roadmaster Riviera down to the local school when they were learning about " old times "They loved it and some of the comments and expressions were priceless. They were seated 4 across the front seat so they all could get a turn at sitting in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Laferriere Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 WOW! Good eye. Thats Marx Electric toy car. Its a Stutz bearcat and the detail is pretty good. There is one on Ebay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 It was hard to miss. When the photo came up on my computer screen that was what showed up first. I had to scroll to see your daughter and the big car.I remember my dad telling me about the local "playboy" getting a new Stutz Bearcat, twelve cylinders all in a row. He said that car had the longest hood he had ever seen. And the car was bright yellow. My dad was born and raised in a very small town that is the county seat of Ritchie County, Harrisville, West Virginia.So for that guy to have a car like that was a very big deal back then. Most people if they had a vehcile at all it was a Model T of some sort. My dad was born Dec. 14th, 1916. He died March 18th, 2008. I am not sure what year the Stutz was but I bet someone here could give a pretty good guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bollman Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Here is my son at his first car show at 5 months old. He will be 34 in a few weeks.

novaman Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Jim, I had forgotten the the age differance betwen him and I. For some reason, I thought we were a little closer (by about 3 years)than that in age. I knew he was younger than my sister. 7 more months and I'll be 43.

89REATTAJIM Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Here we are trying to figure out how to get Grandson Hunter into the back of the Reatta at 3 mos old. Obviously, this didn't work; had to strap his car seat into the back of the Bonneville. He's now 3 yrs old and loves to sit in the Reatta & ride around our driveway.
