Lil Deuce Coupe or a Hot Rod Lincoln????
That title should get everyone's attention!!!!
Had a neighbor drive by, stopped and adored Sarah. He asked if I wanted an old grease gun? I asked, what did it look like. He described it to me the best he could, I said sure, if it's free, I'll clean it up. (hoping it was for a Model A). Well, it's not for a Model A but......................once I get it cleaned up, I'll post a photo. Watch this space....................that's all I'm going to say about that....for now!!! |

Did some searching, Lincoln grease gun, made for Lincoln autos, Harleys and was contracted by the government during WWII. Bummer it wasn't a Model A's.

Re: Lil Deuce Coupe or a Hot Rod Lincoln????
When I first heard "Hot Rod Lincoln" at about age 10, the line "that Model A body makes it look like a pup" sealed my fate. I knew one day I had to own a Model A. I got my first one at age 16, and have owned about 20 since then, but I kept them all stock. Great song, but that first one convinced me to keep them all original.

I believe the song refers to the Grapevine out of San Pedro, which is now part of Los Angeles.

The Grapevine is in Kern County between LA and Bakersfield on Interstate 5, formerly Hwy 99. It got its name when the first settlers traveling that pass had to chop their way through The Grapevine that filled the canyon. That Grapevine still grows there and be seen on both side of the road.
San Pedro is now and has always been part of the City of Los Angeles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw0I4LIPTm8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e58NJU5B3v8

I'm aware of the "Grapevine" being in CA. However, the hill that Charlie Ryan actually drove that car on was the Lewiston Grade - cause that's where he lived.
