Guest EMF-Owner Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 A couple of weekends ago, my dad, uncle and I took some cars to a local car show. We wanted to bring some older cars because we knew that most of the cars would be newer cars. We ended up bringing 6 cars. While we sat there, we got to thinking about what it would be like if we just had a "Daly Family car show". This would be a car show of just cars owned my me, my dad, my brothers, my uncles and my cousins. This list does not include any cars we could build up from parts in the basement. Just cars that are or could be restored. I also did not put any of our newer daily driver cars unless they are antiques 25 years old or older. I thought it would be fun to see that other "Family Cars Shows" would look like. Please share yours!Here is the Daly Family Car show:1909 Dart High-wheeler - My cousin1909 Sears Motorbuggy - My Dad1912 E-M-F Demi Tonneau - Me1912 Rauch & Lang Brougham - Me1915 Ford Model T Touring - My Uncle1917 Ford Model T Touring - My Dad1920 Ford Model T "Centerdoor" Sedan - Me1922 Ford Model T Touring - My Dad1924 Ford Model T Coupe - My Uncle1924 Ford Model T Touring - My Dad1929 Ford Model A Tudor - My Uncle1930 Ford Model A Tudor - My Dad1930 Ford Model A Cabriolet - My cousin1931 DeSoto Model SA Four-Door Sedan - Me1931 Ford Model A Slant Windshield Fore-Door Sedan - My Dad1931 Ford Model A Wide Bed Pickup - My Dad1931 Ford Model AA 1.5 ton stake-bed truck - My Dad1936 Chevrolet 2-door sedan - My Dad1947 Crosley Straight-side Pickup - My Brother # 21947 Crosley Station wagon - My Dad1947 Crosley Round-side Pickup - My Dad1949 Willys-Overland Jeepster - My Dad1950 Crosley Station Wagon - My Dad1965 Ford Mustang - My Uncle1968 MG - My Brother # 21969 Dodge Charger - My Brother # 21971 MG - My Brother # 21971 Dodge Challenger - My Brother # 21972 Pontiac Trans-AM - My Brother # 11972 Ford F-250 Pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 An interest in antique cars, like insanity, does seem to run in families. We could maybe come up with a dozen or so but all but 2 or 3 would have to be trailered since they aren't in running condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfudd Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Fascinating, John! My family show would be a lot smaller:1906 Buick Model F 2-cylinder touring (me)1907 Cadillac Model K one-cylinder runabout (me)1909 E-M-F Model 30 4-cylinder touring (my son)1911 Stanley Model 63 steam toy tonneau (me)1912 Ford Model T commercial roadster (my son)1912 Buick Model 35 4-cylinder touring (me)1913 Ford Model T runabout (me)I have been toying with the idea of running a tour, possibly a week in length, for very primitive cars. The HCCA and VMCCA 1-and 2-cylinder tours are becoming dominated by big twins, mostly Buicks and Reos with the occasional Rambler, Durocar or Northern. The really slow cars don't come out. My thoughts are starting to jell into a "Singles, Solids and Sticks" tour: any car with one or more of a single cylinder engine, solid tires or tiller steering would be eligible. There would be some hills (they had hills back in the day, too), but each day's run would be short enough that even the creepy-crawlers would be back in a reasonable time. All back roads, of course. Maybe some dirt. I see you have a couple of highwheelers. Would you consider participating in such a tour, if everyone else had something of comparably limited performance?Gil Fitzhugh (the elder), Morristown, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMF-Owner Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Guess I should have said "Running or Not running". Certainly not all of the cars on my list are runnable at the present time. But all are mostly complete cars which are restoreable or restored/drivable. Come on, lets us see your car family car show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EMF-Owner Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 These car shows would be better than most of the car shows I attend. Most of the car shows these days are closer to used car lots for me. Nothing really all that interesting to me. Lets see some more Family car shows!

Richard Lichtfel Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 We had our own EGO trip car show a few years ago. The Jefferson meet was featuring Mopars. So I rented a tent and my son brought his 1970 Cuda Conv.my son-in-law his 1970 Challenger RT conv. a friend brought his 1970 Hemi Challenger and I brought my four 1970 Challenger RT conv. all numbers matching and restored, fun but a job shuttling.

ex98thdrill Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 The second batch. I still don't have any pictures of our '79 Dodge 'Lil Red Express trucks, and I didn't include the truck that we sold at Hershey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I can't convince my wife that I need more than 2 old cars and literally, there is no one else in my family - immediate or extended - that has any interest in antique cars. So mine would be a pretty small show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
