Matt Harwood Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 It's about time the ladies got some love! My hat is off to each one who faithfully reads the directions on tour, diagnoses strange engine noises, polishes metal trim, and sits behind an old car in the sweltering sun at car shows smiling at visitors.Kudos to every one of them who lets us work in the garage until midnight, spend money on foolish things instead of practical things, and does her best to share our enthusiasm when we finally get that old heap running right, even though she perhaps can't discern a difference.A big thank you to every one who rides on the back of a motorcycle, sits in the passenger seat, and patiently listens to hours and hours of talk about numbers, tools, and other esoteric things, and always calls it fun.And if you're one of those rare, special creatures with her own passion for the hobby, who likes to get dirty, and knows which end of a wrench to grab, well, will you marry me?Thank you ladies--you not only make it all possible, you make it wonderful.

Shop Rat Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Since I am the one that is on here, rather than Bill , I will post a photo of him with our latest addition. Our 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SL that we named Woodstock in honor of Snoopy's best friend, the little yellow bird that flies like a pingpong ball in a wind storm. :eek:By the way Matt, thanks. There are those of us that love this hobby just as much as the guys do. I keep my fingernails short....because it's easier to get the garage grime out from under them.

Marty Roth Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We're together 42 years. Dale really enjoys the cars and the poeple we've come to know as a result of our participation in tours and meets. AACA has become an important part of our family. The children were recipients of "Youngest Driver" trophies, and our grandson is looking forward to getting his Learner's Permit next year. He has already driven the 1937 Roadmaster on a private road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop Rat Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 ..... but has always supported my obsession and encouraged me to keep at it.Fellows, there is a certain amount of truth to us being willing to support you working on old vehicles because we know where you are and what you are doing. Quite a few years ago now one of Bill's friends from Union Carbide was on a temporary assigment here in the Carbide plant in South Charleston, W. Va. which is right up the road from us. His friend was staying in a local motel while here. At times he had a bit of a drinking problem. So Bill invited him over to help him dismantle and work on the 1939 Dodge. Many times I heard his friend's Mustang go down the hill at 2 or 2:30 a.m. Working on the Dodge with Bill kept him out of the bars and in the good graces of both of us wives.

Guest PhippsAuto Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) This was a few years ago. The car's a 1951 Ford-i-llac (Ford with a Cadillac motor put in it in the mid-1950s).

West Peterson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Nice looking car. I love the color. Actually, if you squint, the front end sort of looks like a cross betwen a 1948 Cadillac and 1953 Cadillac. What does the DP signify in the license plate? Is that a county code?

Guest PhippsAuto Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 As far as I know, the DP in the license number doesn't signify anything. It's an authentic tag from the 1950s. Of course, since my name is Dewaine Phipps, my sister's Darla, and my brother's David, it could also be our initials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frazer51 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Here is a picture taken last fall of the my bride and her favorate ride, the blue Ford retractable. This is an reenactment of an incident that had happened just an hour before on that fall day in 2010. We were heading home from a car show with me in the lead in our red and white retractable when she said her car stalled and she drifted off the road. She wanted to check the "kill switch" so she popped the hood and since the hood opens at the windshield she could see into the motor and said she saw orange flames. She quickly grabbed the extinguisher which has been laying on the floor for the passed 35 years and put out the fire. She kept the car from being destroyed that day with her quick thinking. I will tell this , Shirley and I have been married for 55 years so for her age she works and thinks fast in a crises. She will drive just about all my old cars. I wanted to have her drive my 1918 Buick but I told her she would have to learn how to double clutch. She quickly said you can't fool me I know that one of those pedals is the brake. By the way the Blue Retractable has had all the damage areas repainted, the bad wireing replaced along with a new carburater and what ever else it needed. It is as good as new and back on the road.

jdome Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The handsom young man on the "dual cowl" is my youngest son when he was about 8 or 9. He is 20 now. I bought the little car about 15 years ago at Hershey in the condition of the before photo. Sometimes You can find things at Hershey you didn't know you were looking for. The story from the seller is that the car came off a circa 1940 amusement park ride in mid-state NY. There were several of these cars on a merry-go-round platform. It is hand made, all steel that someone put a lot of time in. The fenders were made in sections and butt welded together. I restored it with the "help" of my son. He picked the colors. I added a few other swap meet finds like the 37 Chevy hood ornament, generic motorcycle tail lamps and an unknown pair of tail light buckets for headlights. Head, tail & brake lights are functional. I built a chassis out of square tubing and angle iron. The drive train was donated from a late 60's early 70's General Electric, "Electrak" lawn tractor. It runs on 36Volts using 2 deep cycle 12v marine batteries behind the rear seat and one under the front seat. The electric motor is under rear seat. It can seat 4 kids, weighs about 400lbs with a 48 inch wheel base.For contrast, the car behind the dual cowl is my 1935 Cadillac V12 Fleetwood 6075 limo that I bought in 1970, my senior year of H.S. It weighs 5800 lbs, 146" WB. I Restored it a few years before the photo was taken. I still own the Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
