1935Packard Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 This thread inspired me to take my '35 Packard 12 out of the garage and snap some pictures when I warmed it up today. There's just a sprinkling of snow on the ground, but it will have to do.Can't wait until spring..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Laferriere Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Nice, Tom, nice. Are all of those yours????How is the little yellow racecar? That was so much fun to get to help talk you into buying it. And to then get photos of you driving it back to your trailer at Hershey.The little yellow racer is now in the shop. I am installing a reverse gearbox and a starter/generator. The "only forward" routine was getting old.Two of the cars are mine, the convertible coupe is a customer's. Just complete a wire harness install on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 31DH Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here is a picture of a 1928DB that Dad bought in 1942.The picture was taken in the 50's on the way to the highway. The front axle of the car is on a bob sleigh and the rear axle is on a stoneboat and being pulled behind is an enclosed cutter with a wood stove & a light run with a 6 volt battery. The outfit was taken to a neighbor 6 miles away and the car was driven to town. On the way home the car was left at the neighbors for the next trip to town . The horses and cutter were then driven home.Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeSoto Frank Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) This is how they used to open up roads after heavy snow storms like in the previous photo. These two non OSHA approved behemoth snow blowers were made by the Winther Motor Co. in 1921. Winther had factories in Wisconsin and Illinois and made heavy duty four wheel drive trucks.Mongo Like !

Amphicar BUYER Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 This was 3 years ago here in Colorado. In the snowbank are 3 Ampicars (you only see one). I "temporarilly" parked my white driver there just 2 days before we had 3 blizzards in a week. I'm glad it had top quality outdoor rated cover on it. It was there until March! :cool:The second pic is when I was out on a lake in the winter. If you look closely there is ice all around me. Even in the mirrors!

MrEarl Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Don't suppose a 93 is an "Antique" but we don't get that many shots at getting pictures of vehicles in snow here in Georgia and I like to show her off anyway...... Managed to get home before the roads became impassable. Saw 3 spinouts on the way.The Kroger Supermarket parking lot was packed and cars backed up a mile so wasn't able to get any bread and milk. Bubbas liquor store the same way, but never fear, I'm never without my JWB. Will probably be snowed in for sure tomorrow as they're predicting 2-3 feet of snow over southern Georgia. Of course you need to use the Nawthern/Southern 1 inch/1 foot conversion factor in understanding what I'm talkin about. Got plenty of firewood and my old Buick Bugle magazine collection so I'm set. Thought I better stop and take a picture in front of my lil pond as I'm sure nobody is gonna believe 2 feet of snow in Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Since I am the one that started this thread, I hearby convey honorary "antique status" to your beautiful car. Now you need to have this photo made into a 1,000 piece jig-saw puzzle and give it to someone that you want to drive crazy. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Dear Shop Rat, I guess I know what you do all the long winter now....

LOL Dandy Dave!Bill loves jigsaw puzzles to the point that his kids and our grandkids try to outdo each other by finding one to stump him. Last year it was a small one with lots of antique cars on it. Repeats of the patterns and they only fit one way to make a square. Guess who finally figured it out? It wasn't the engineer in the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F&J Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Our snow is gone, but I just found these pics of 2 of my former cars while looking for another photo.The car in front was going to be picked up the next day for a long trip to a junkyard :confused: .. Not to worry, it went to a collector at French Lake Antique Auto Parts in Minnesota (a real old car salvage yard)Both cars are wearing REX brand California all-weather tops. You probably will never see a modern pic of two of these tops in one pic. I have never seen one in person until these showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F&J Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 What make vehicles are these ?The one in front is a 20 Reo with many accessories put on when new. It was a 4dr cut off by the orig owner later in life. The 2nd car is an 18 Stude converted to a wrecker at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick60 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The snow is almost gone in Chicago. This 1960 Starliner is used as a winter beater. It has been used all winter. The owner drives a very nice 1960 Ranch wagon during the spring, summer and fall. This car is a legitimate HIPO car. It is rusty, but trusty!

junkyardjeff Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I wish I took some pics but my 65 custom 500 was almost completely buried in the driveway,I had to blow snow on it so I could make a path to the garages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
