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.

The car on the left is my crusty '37 Tudor. A friend and I got this car out of long term storage in September of '22. It was not running. We got it running and after a long punch list, driving reliably. It was in Dearborn this year. It's crusty, usues oil but it's a lot of fun. I have put over 600 miles on it since April.
