Here's a picture of one of my grandfathers, my dad's father, he passed away in 1929, 11 years before I was born.
Here's hoping others have pictures of their Grandfathers to add to this thread.

Grandpa pix are tough - they were usually holding the camera. I've got some great grandfather ones holding my dad as a baby.
My mom's dad. He was a teacher, home builder, fruit farmer and sold cars first Chevy then Fords in Saginaw MI. His fruit farm is now a neighborhood of expensive homes. The barn still shows up on Google earth.
The guy on the MC is my dad's stepdad. He had a shop that specialized in fixing Chevys. He also did truck work. In the late 20s he built a prototype for Republic and installed the first customer GMC diesel in a truck.

Here's a few pictures of my grandfather and some with my great-grandfather and family. The car in the background of the first picture is a '41 Plymouth coupe that my great-grandfather bought just as the war started.

Hmmm...looking at nkaminar's forebearer, I'm wondering if we have progressed all that much in the last 50,000 years??? I mean, have you seen some of the people in TV commercials???

Mike, I bet he was happy he was able to get the Plymouth in the years to follow.

My paternal grandfather George. In Malta World War I, British army... eastern front. After emigrating to the USA in 1920, he as well as maternal G'pa Peter worked for Ford. First at Highland Park and later at the Rouge. Very likely they had a hand in building your Model A.

My son's grandfather with his "chick-mobile" and a bevy of beauties. The one on the running board later became his wife. He had purchased the Ford for $125 a couple months prior to the picture being taken.
