victorialynn2 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) There have been so many on this forum who have extended a helping hand to me on my journey to make sense of how to liquidate my father's car collection. I seriously have gained so much knowledge and advice and it has been a huge benefit. The guidance I have been given has resulted in information that has helped me better understand the cars so I can talk knowledgably to prospective buyers without looking like a fool, prep the cars for sale and price them reasonably. I would not be as successful as I have been without all your help I thought I'd post a couple pictures of my dad because some of us have become friends in this process and I thought it appropriate to introduce you to my father, Edmund. I have so many pics, but will post a few that I have handy at the moment on my phone. A few of these are at car museums I brought him to (not his cars), and one barely has a car in it, but if you look hard you will find the '30 Model A. One is a Harley with he and my sister, but there's a truck in the background. Lol. The the last one is he and my mother when they were about 27. There's no car in that one but I just really cherish that photo. I don't have many of them together because they separated when I was a baby. I would like to try and dig out one of him as a teen with one of his first cars and post that at a later time as well. Thank you all so much for your help, and unless you warn me otherwise I will continue to pick your brains when I'm fighting, I mean working, with these cars.

auburnseeker Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks for the photos. It's nice putting a face especially earlier pics of your Dad to the story. I love seeing old photos of my grandfather when he was in his 30's who built boats back in the day from people that took photos when they were picking up their new boat. You never remember what your relatives were like during their prime. It's a nice window into that era of their life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop4two Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Victoria Lynn, I have really enjoyed following your posts on here and hope you continue. I was wondering if you remember where your dad got that picture of him with the tucker? I was lucky enough to see and get a picture of a tucker being restored here in Canada. I'm sure it's a different one than the one your dad is with in that pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's between Austin and San Antonio. And if you come down this way, and like motorcycles, this is a great place to visit: http://www.lonestarmotorcyclemuseum.com. They are opened seasonally and will be closing when the elderly owners can no longer keep it open, so hurry and call first.

Wish I had the money for that 1979 Lincoln ... such a gorgeous car. I sure appreciate seeing the photos & seeing your Dad. In a way, this reminded me of an "epic thread" of a friend of mine, who restored her Dad's car for him ... then gave it to him a surprise ... a little bit before his death. I finally got to meet her in person & see the car during my last road trip, 2011's "Coast-to-Coast" journey. I posted a little bit about it here, if you're interested:http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/06/14/tuesday-trip-65/ I feel lost without my road trips because I absolutely love meeting people ... I feel so much more "at home" when I'm "on the road".....

When I got to Texas he was lost without a dog. His had passed. He always had them. I took him to several rescues. This is Molly Ivan's. We got her the first week I was here at the Medina Dog rescue. It was a match made in heaven. She jumped in the car before we were sure we were going to take her. There was a write up about it in the local paper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Bond Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Wow, thanks for the family memories, ties it all together. You certainly had a neat father - and wow, you sure look like your Mom! We all feel we've got to know you, and in return I hope you get a feel for what made the old car hobby so great for your dad also. It's the people who help make it great. We hope to see you on the road one of these days, we know you'd fit in so well. Maybe it's in the DNA! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude Light Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 A little correction for Terry...."have a neat father". Victoria, just wanted to say thanks for sharing. I've been following your posts with some interest as I've gone through a similar issue with family, although not such a big financial burden. It's always nice to put faces with names and the story.
