I have one with a loader attachment that is awaiting restoration. These have two rollers in the frame and are longer than the Model C. This one sports a Model 24 Briggs and Stratton at 9 H.P. like my Model C. A Wisconsin engine was also available from the factory. Dandy Dave!

Captain Harley Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Me, July 4th 1967. The car was my 1929 Chevrolet 2-door Coach. We had just come back from an antique car show in Deltona, FL. Where it had won 2nd place in its category. Lost the car in an accident a couple of years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Lots of old pictures surfacing around here since my wife's retirement. 1982 picture of a genuine redneck with a 350 Buick powered 1960 Ford half ton here. WOT would kind of take your breath away. I hit the gas on the way to work one day. A guy behind me on a Harley got off his bike to see why the engine quit running. That was messy.

That reminds me of the story my mom told about the day it was so cold that the motorcycle rider turned his leather jacket backward so the collar would keep the wind off his neck and chest. After his wreck, the ambulance workers saw that his neck was twisted around, so they "fixed" it 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi Joel Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 What a great idea, this is a wonderful thread! Afterall, what would old cars be without people? My contribution here involves a 1949 plymouth that my dad bought back in 73, then restored. The first pic is as found. I got to help when I was a 14-15 year old kid. I wish I had a pic of my dad with it at the time. The second pic is me standing by it at my grandparents home just when it was finished. I was 15. My Dad drove it ALOT, about 70,000 miles, including trips from MInnesota to the southwest, and into Mexico. The 3rd pic is in 1992. In 1980, my dad had retired in Arizona. The miles had taken a toll on the old Plymouth, and by '92 car had sat for a while with a burned valve and dry rotted tires and top. He offered it to me, and I flew down to AZ, did a bunch of repairs, new tires and battery, and drove it home to MN with the burnt valve. (50 mph) Back at home, I ground the valves, repainted it, rewired it, new top and eventually replaced the still original interior. The 4th pic is me doing some work on it in 2007. It has been driven regularly and maintained since I got it. In 2018, my son asked me if he could drive it on his honeymoon, after his upcoming wedding. He and I went thru the brakes, replaced the exhaust and the 1992 tires, and got it all ready for the trip. We decided he would end up with it eventually. In 2019, right around my 60th birthday, we drove it back to my grandparents old place, (no longer in the family) and snapped the last pic in the same spot as the 1975 picture. Obviously, there's much more to this 47 year story, and I hope it continues for many more generations. Joel 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodneybeauchamp Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Great thread, nice to put faces to names! Day one with “Snowflake” our 1963 Buick Riviera back on 15th December 2015. Just collecting from John Cooper who arranged the shipping and import paperwork, ready for the drive home! A recent run in 2019 with “Black Beauty”, our 1938 Buick Special 2 door ‘sloper’ coupe on the day I replaced the manifold gasket.

C Carl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Have been taking a few "sentimental journeys" this evening. Perhaps the most sentimental of all for me is this "self portrait" with my late friend Larry Lucas. He was very tall, maybe six and a half feet, so towered over me. Unmistakably Larry, people say my shadow is also recognizably me. Yeah, I can certainly see that, but that is easier for me, since that is how I normally see myself other than as a reflection. For those of you who never had the pleasure of knowing Larry, he was my age, mid '70s, a rather well known blacksmith and nailhead specialist in Southern California circles. Cadillac guy that I am, I met Larry through his '37 LaSalle. His '38 nailheaded Buick roadster is peeking out at us. Did any of you know native Southern Californian Larry ? I think here on his estate near Ventura, the difficult was made routine - Carl Edited April 8, 2020 by C Carl Add last sentence (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) So after a trip to the “black hole” or the basement as it’s other name, my wife found a box of photos that were put there when we moved eight years ago and got lost in the mix of stuff down there. The date is 1992. It’s not a Hershey competition vehicle, just was a cool truck to own and take to local car show events. 1937 Dodge MC 1/2 ton.
