I'd be satisfied with anything '32-'34 Ford in the garage.

You mean besides a 5' tall blonde that really really loves me? She's flying in on Christmas day. OK. How about some elves to finish putting the '39 steering box in my '36.

Jim, …Green River, did you happen to follow down through Flaming Gorge? A beautiful drive and a splash in the lake?

Cool What Do You Want Under The Christmas Tree This Year ?

That picture of the house framed in blue Christmas lights was taken nine years ago around this time so it was too cold to do anything but stop for a few minutes around sunset and twilight to capture old Main Street .

I like driving the old Main Street in Green River …

To be totally honest, I agreed with my wife 1-year ago to sell my 2005 Mustang V8 GT convertible in exchange for being allowed to buy a 1962 super hi-performance 406 3x2 Ford Galaxie. The Mustang hasn't sold yet. I'd really love to keep it, my Christmas wish. Money's not an issue, room in the parking lot is the issue but easily solved with tandem parking. My wife, the most important factor, wants to see one car go away.

My Christmas wish is that everyone here on the Ford Barn are and remain happy and healthy….and that many, many additional people also fall in love with these beautiful old flatheads, and help keep this fantastic hobby rolling!

Merry Christmas!

Now that I sold my 33, I want a 53 Monterrey with an automatic transmission in my garage, won’t fit under my tree. Merry Christmas everyone.

Yeah Tim, iv'e contemplating selling my '37 sedan of late it's getting harder to get up and down off the floor working on it.there are mor people willing to work on '50s cars than 30's vintage. i don't know if that's why you sold your '33. Tom.
