Thank you very much. I had to cancel going to the National Meet. Wife got back problems. It helps with the pictures you are showing us. Thank you again.

Love 'em. Something about a roadster pick up just does it for me.

The owner of the roadster pickup has been driving it since he bought it in high school. It's a nice driver

Thank you for the pictures, I would have liked to attend but just couldn't work it out.


I also note with encouragement the number of nice cars with blackwall tires on them. Somehow that just looks good.

Bobby,
Thanks for posting these pictures of cars at the meet. It was a great time! Just seems to have went very fast! Thanks for taking the time to look at my radiator cap too!
Regards,

I really like these. A roadster pickup has always been one of my favourite vehicle styles.

WHOA BABY!!!! You made my heart skip a beat ...... LOVE THE 33 and 34 Pickups ...... roadster version yet, how many of those are left ??
And what was the market Ford was going after with non-removable soft-top trucks ?
And come to think about it, why were early fire engines topless ?

Thanks for posting the pics!!

REALLY enjoyed seeing the cars! Nice:) And that '34 Roadster PU---- WOW!!

My Great Uncle Matt had a '37 Fordor he bought new and drove it as his everyday car up into the early 60's. The one pictured sure brings back good memories!

He parked that car every winter and it never left his garage, he would take the street cars downtown and then the buses but he refused to ever ever get his '37 out in the snow and slop!

And it was MINT he took excellent care of everything he owned, as most Krauts do!

Hello Jeff. I wasn't able to put the face to the name when I was leaving the meet and saw you. I am thinking you were with John and Glenn when I was fixing to leave. Sorry about that. Getting old sucks. Take care. TonyM.

'37 slantbacks are one of my favorite early Fords too!

Nice job on the pics Tony. Good to see you and your car there at Dearborn. Maybe will see you again in '24 at Auburn.
