Driving both old cars today
 

Going to drive both of my old cars today...what are you driving today?

On a side note: That Boomerang restaurant in both pics was completely destroyed/leveled by the tornado that we had here in Shawnee Oklahoma a few months back

Great way to enjoy the Holiday. Have a Happy 4th.

All the Best from the FL Panhandle.

Is your Town Sedan suede? I like it. Too bad about the tornado.Glad they don't have them here!

If you're asking about the interior...it's more of a do-it-yourself, material I have on hand experience.

I used to live in Redwood City, about 30 miles South of SF, we had a small tornado hit back in the mid/late 60's if I recall.

You can never say never with a tornado

No the exterior paint. I see now it is flat. I still like it.

I had my 1930 Tudor in a parade today. Big crowd, great fun.
We had about 8 cars from our club. Fun on the 4th!

I had my 28 roadster in the town parade today. The oldest car in the parade. We have had an 09 T in the past, but the owner died recently. I drove my 30 TS yesterday, too, but just to the gas station and back.

Took all 3 to the local parade today!

It'll come back!

Drove my 36 Plymouth streetrod to the 4th of July parade this morning (the three of us).

Tomorrow evening we have a Model-A chapter meeting, so I will drive my A to that. Thursday I pick up tickets to Good-Guys, and that likely will be my 57 Skyliner. Might not get to take the streetrod Friday, as It has developed on heck of a squeek. New driveline, but the racket is coming from the torque converter area.

Drove my 42 Deluxe coupe thru town after the first oil change since the engine rebuild this morning. Had Cathy's 55 club Sedan out for a drive this evening. Sunday evening drove the 48 business coupe for a 10 mile drive. 1930 Model A is waiting for a carburetor to come back from being rebuilt and brake adjustment before serious road trips.

For full discloser...it's all primer

Re: Driving both old cars today
 

WEEEE DOGGIE ........ it's a small world! Glad your cars didn't get swept away in that but I fear we may have "THE BIG ONE" hit California ..... one of these days.........

Now that's funny...didn't see that coming

Hey, I used to live in Redwood City, left in the mid 70's, went back to visit in the mid 90's...did not recognize that place

Re: Driving both old cars today
 

I think you can say that about most of the SF Peninsula and farther south in the Santa Clara Valley (now known as Silicon Valley). My wife and I both grew up in the SF Bay Area in the 50s/60s and moved away in 1971, but kept visiting because both sets of parents continued to live in the Bay Area. We moved back to the peninsula for a job in 2011, and you're right, it's not the same as it was back in "the good old days". Now that we're both retired I keep hoping she'll get as tired as I am of the horns, sirens, traffic, helicopters, airplanes, crappy drivers and just plain entitled morons and suggest that we move, but she's a California girl and I don't have much hope of that happening.

Back to the original point of this thread - I drove my '31 in a parade on Tuesday, along with 13 other As from our local MAFCA chapter. A good time was had by all.

Isn't the correct term "American racing gray?"
