edinmass Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The1928’s drive better than the 29-31 cars. You can’t beat a 1932 Packard Custom Dietrich. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTR Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 While my 88 years old social isolation ride is somewhat unorthodox by AACA standards, I did manage to rack up another 100+ miles of social distancing with it yesterday at nearby mountains. Wonderful switchback roads were quite clear of seasonally common residue of fallen dirt/rocks, ice/snow/water and other traffic. Only notable annoyance 😞 was malfunctioning onboard camcorder failing to capture most of the spirited hill climb pleasures I was enjoying on nearly empty roads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTR Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Found a one photo of Sundays drive that hopefully won’t offend (m)any AACA gods or members. It is merely a shot of recording date, time & mileage at the start of the drive*, but also shows the intended destination** (& most exciting) part of this particular drive, which (again) turned out more fun than two barrels full of monkeys***. * I've doing this with all my vintage cars for decades to keep driving/mileage/travel records. ** Snow capped mountains seen above the steering wheel, through the windshield, far in the horizon *** Full disclosure: I've never had even one, but can only imagine...

oldcarfudd Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It's still OK to get take-out food. Today I took out a Thai dish, green curry with shrimp, medium spicy. The 3-1/2 miles each way was to far for this geezer to walk. Isn't that why Henry made Model Ts? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Today I decided to exercise our 1950 Mercury. Great car with a great history. Wonderful Flathead engine with Overdrive. It looks just right in front of this horse barn. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass is Best Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Today was a warm sunny spring day in Ohio. Perfect for a long ride in and around Norwalk and Milan Ohio with a 1912 Ford Model T Touring. We even ran into Percy the Peacock. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass is Best Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Cloudy and 40 degrees here in Ohio. But still a great day for a ride in a 1941 Cadillac. We work hard to make all our cars run well. So exercising them is important. We drove on country roads and then stopped to visit some relatives of the Fisher Brothers (of General Motors fame) at the St. Paul's Cemetery. Their parents and Charles Fisher's in-laws.

Brass is Best Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Today was cold and blustery. 40 degrees and lots of wind. So we decided to exercise our 1941 Cadillac Convertible. This car is an absolute pleasure. We serviced it when we purchased it and took care of a few issues. Now this car is ready to enjoy. We have driven it 800 miles in the last month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass is Best Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Today was a great day for a 60 mile trip in the worlds oldest 12-cylinder automobile. I drove her along Lake Erie. We stopped at Ruggles Beach along the way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sskip Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Taking my 91 year old mother out for a 50 mile drive on a beautiful day! In 1939, her family drove from NJ to Michigan in my grandfather’s 1933 Chevrolet Coach.

tomcarnut Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Andy’s stuff at Peters Motorcars is very nice. We made a stop in our 1911 Ford on a rare 2020 COVID era Snappers Brass and Gas tour this past September. All the cars in his pictures are just as impressive in person. Great hosts! Wish I had room for the Mitchell and the 41 Caddy. Tom Muth Cincinnati, Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Question about the brass windshield support rods on the 1913 Model T. Did they come stock in 1913 or as a accessory. We bought a 13 and took them off because we thought they were earlier T equipment. Love the maroon color! Our 15 was red because Henry told the dealers "to paint them any color the buyer wanted, just sell them a car", suggested price for paint job was $15.00. My thought was if I could find $440 in 1915 for a new car, I Icould find or borrow another $15.00 for a red one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The square corners on the front doors thru me off. I thought that was 1913 only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
