Default My son texted me this picture, taken on the 5 freeway on Sunday night.
My son took this picture last Sunday night on the 5 freeway in Mission Viejo, CA.
He said the car was traveling about 65 miles per hour.

I am pretty sure that it belongs to Jeff Moody who lives in the Oceanside area. His chassis is restored, but you can see the body still has original patina.

65 mph with the aerodynamics of an orange crate...

Here are some pictures of Jeff's wagon at the Orange County Pancake Breakfast, earlier this year.
Notice the mandrill mascot that hangs on the uncovered sun visor.

65 mph in an orange crate is ridiculous. The person must have a death wish. Wayne

I'm almost positive that I saw this Hack in Visalia Ca. a couple of years ago . A Model A group had Visalia as a overnight stop on one of their cross California trips.

It looks like a Station Wagon to me.

Nope, this car hasn't been to Visalia. there are a couple of other cars in California showing similar "patina"

I would be up for restoring the mechanicals and leaving the body & paint alone... I could sit my tools right on top of the unprotected fender. These cars look great both ways...
