jim43 22 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 It looks to me it may part of good memories for 2 or 3 generations people, who, as kids remember summers and 4th of July parades, family reunions at the park, rides to the lake for swimming and picnics. Just guessing, but I think this car was made for the enjoyment of others as well as the builder. It looks fairly well made too. Jim 43 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JamesR 1,207 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wooden cars and Kentucky remind me of that documentary about that North Carolina moonshiner made several years ago. I believe the old moonshiner's name was Popeye something, and he was a real character. He had a couple of Model A's, and I'm pretty sure one of them had a wood body. Fascinating (though somewhat depressing) film, if you haven't seen it. On youtube. I believe the guy passed away several years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Pancho's ride 28 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I’ve been a carpenter for 35 years. I find this car oddly endearing. But as Jim43 points out, it probably has a lot of stories that go along with it. Link to post Share on other sites
