Paul Dobbin Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) I always liked Kieer31's picture of when he bought his first 31 Dodge, which is still under re-construction. I ran across this picture of my first 1934 Ford, when I was 26 years old (1972). With a one car garage this car had to be worked on in the yard because my wife's 65 Mustang Conv. had position of the garage. I finished the car in 1973 and the Glidden Tour came to town and I was hooked. Drove that car in many Glidden Tours and kept it for 26 years. We moved to a house with a 2 car garage, then 5 cars and finally 13. Had another 100 cars and enjoyed 41 National Tours including 11 Great Races, 13 Glidden's, 6 or 7 Sentimental's, 5 Founder's and countless Regional Tours. Met many wonderful people and would not trade this hobby for any other. Getting close to time/age to downsize.

Bill Boudway Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Hi, You asked for it. Here it is: Folks have ID it as a '31 Model A. Most likely the photo taken in 1953 or '54. In our side yard under the apple tree. $15.00 and, if I remember, free delivery. Frame included. The body followed me to school where I put it together with a '32 Ford frame and 6 wheels and sold the package for $50.00 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 14 years old with my 941 Olds 6. The car was about 21-22 years old at the time but back then a 10-15 year old car was an exception on the road. One in good shape was even less common. I also had a 1939 Buick Special at the time but that had not been treated as well. Both pictures were taken in the spot where my garage stands today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
