Explain why you chose your avatar ......

[trulyvintage]

I found my online - I was looking for something small related to what I do
every day and that would fit in a small space ....


Then yesterday I spotted this in Iowa .......

Its kinda like a sign it tells a little bit about you as a person. Mine is the truck that I have and totally restoring.

[Gumpy]

A car I built from ground up!

[Fred K-OR]

My "fleet".

[nhusa]

The 31 Model A Town Sedan and the 19 Model T with a Mifflinburg body

Both belonged to my dad and I drove them to High School in the early 60's.
The A to school when my 41 Ford opera coupe was broken (often) and the T to football games with the cheerleaders.

Deb took the picture in october on the Day that I tought our 10 year old grand daughter how to drive the model A. My good friend Mitch thought that the pic would be a good choice and showed me how to post an avatar pic. Thanks again Mitch.

[Bob Bidonde]

It was taken by Bruce Adams, and it is one of the best photos of my Model "A" ever taken.

[lookin-backtexas]

No explanation needed.

[Russ/40]

Because it's a lot prettier than I am! When the '29 is done this summer, it'll be the '29. Doing the bed now. Worst part of the entire project. Man I'm getting tired of body work. Give me a wrench any day. When I'm done, I never want to see another piece of sand paper as long as I live.

[Dave Mc]

My 33 Victoria C400 Fordor , (the only one in existence ) and my 29 54A Business Coupe

When this fan stops, is when I am put in the pine box.

No question is a true work of Art (REALLY)



Cars lot being works of Art in the mid 70s...

[darrylkmc]

I had just located the correct radiator shell and Canadian 1930 Emblem for my Phaeton, leaned it up against a wall and took the photo, the rest is history. Just a fluke, I doubt that I could recreate the photo if I had to, I like it.

Well, ya see, I was at this party and met this gal with monster bazoomas and,,,,,,,,,,,,,............

[christian]

because no matter how frustrating my model A can be, I can always look back to its condition when it arrived and be proud.

[Hugh in NC]

The only 2 Fords in my Ford Barn.

[roccaas]

GT Alumni Assoc Roadster (no NOT the Ramblin Wreck) in front of the Atlanta History Museum. I always liked this pic, it is the right size, I'm an (old and getting older) Alum now so this is appropriate.

[brum1]

I think the front view of the Model A is cool

[Maclab58]

My early 28 sport coupe the day I pulled it out of a shed and brought it home. The addiction began.

[DrinkMan]

I use it in every forum just because it is easy. I started using it years ago in a forum where there was a lot of discussion of wanting pictures of the members. Driving a convertible in the mountains with my wife by my side is a great activity so I used a picture she took of me during a club mountain drive.

[Bob/Kansas City]

Because it's my car and a restoration I did myself. When I complete the '31 roadster that one may become my avatar. Here's the roadster as it stands now... yeah, I know... whitewalls !

[zzlegend]

I was at a party and caught this guy with my gal with monster bazoomas rolling in the hay in the back of my farm truck and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Aerocraft]

It's my Dad driving the '31 Roadster that he and Mom carried me home from the hospital in in 1936.

Because this picture just didn't work out as an avatar. The one I use is my latest restoration. This one is my older brothers and sister with my uncle and I. (I was the youngest in the picture.) This was in a junk pile on our property for many years.

[bikejunk]

My avitar shows a real lack of computer skills , one of these days Im gona drag my wife over and have her figure it out , I also need a digital camera and a scaner!! smiley face

[Steve Plucker]

Mine is of three friends of mine who are very early 1928 guys.

From left to right...Ron Rude, Mike Gooding, Steve Ciccalone (May God Rest His Soul), and myself. Mikes very early 1928 Sport Coupe is behind us all. Picture taken in Wilder, Idaho about 2009.

[Napa Skip]

Our 1930 coupe (since February 1977); my wife Jean (since February 1965) and me at Napa County July 4th parade a couple of years ago. Avatar pretty much says it all. (February is a good month.)

[Roadster62]

Mine shows the progress on my '30 Roadster body, if something changes, I'll update the photo. Bob

[glenn in camino]

28-29 woodies are among my favorite Model As. Mine is one of the first 5 prototypes built 12/10/28 with original wood and no finger joints. Perhaps the only one restored to show quality.

[midgetracer]

My 8 year old grandson looked like he was heading out to pick up his favorite girl, and it brought back memories when I was his age and sat in my dad's model A.

[Mike V. Florida]

Proud enough to have a son interested in Model A's. The other members hated it when he was a judge because he was so tough.

[pat in Santa Cruz]

it looks similar to my first A car, ( my first was actually an AA), a 29 coupe that was even more rough than the sedan in the avatar. It had been converted to a plumbers truck, with a box in place of the trunk lid, and pipe racks screwed to the pass side fenders. The visor was missing. There was about 5 square inches of paint left on the entire body. It had new tires and battery and ran quiet and cool, but had some electrical problems.... Cost me 125 bucks in 1972. I spent a lot of time under the hood like these guys until I got it running very well and drove it as my only car until 1980.

[Tiny]

Mine is a shot of my son in his "28 Model A" behind my 31 coupe.

[Tudortomnz]

Mine is 2 favourite old snaps, one a picnic with my late Mother & Dads '30 TS about 1957/'58, I am about 3 or 4 yrs old.
Other shot of first day I got my '29 Tudor ; Oct. 1969, 15th birthday.

[colin1928]

Because my pickup looks better for it,s age then I do

My "go to" tool of choice for all adjustments to my cars when they don't run right is a BFHammer.

Coming to you today from beautiful French Lick where the whole town was a SPA yesterday afternoon.

[Hoogah]

...coz I bought Pooch's car but he wouldn't sell me his unique spinning avatar, so I had to get one of my own. AND I enjoy displaying my car's cheeky white walls, which are kind of "out there" on this survivor and upset the purists!!

[Farrell In Vancouver]

I am lucky to be the head wrench on these cars. from the left, my 28' Special coupe, my fathers 30' Pick-up and then his 29' Tudor. We are almost ready to add the fourth to the herd, my 31' short wheel base AA stake bed on duals. Then we'll have one from each year. Guess I'll up-date the avatar then. Its been fun, its been frustrating, and its a great excuse to hang in the shop and share a beer or two with my Dad.

2 Woodies--1 for land --1 for sea

[JohnLaVoy]

The car we take on road trips. 1929 Town Sedan that has travel the roads of much of the United States, current picture is from the Blue Ridge Parkway Tour last year.

Mix of NOS and old Mallory parts, does it get any better having things like this stashed for later use. Rod

[JTW]

I was about a year or two old and my father made a sandbox for me to play in but the Model T fire truck beside it was always where I headed instead - mother took a picture.

[sidevalve8ba]

I have no earthly idea.

No, actually I had a '49 that was my first flathead. Been hooked ever since.

[TDO]

Kind of car I always wanted Finally got it after I retired. complete tear down and put back together myself.

[al's28/33]

Because I have TWO beauties to show off for you guys!

[1930pu]

My 3 cars, 1930 rpu I had since 1985 finally finished it last June, 1937 4 door humpback my father started to restore and wasn't able to finish so I finished it without him knowing and surprised him with it about 4 years ago ( worth all the effort and time to see his face when he first saw it) and the 1930 coupe (I know it is a hot rod) bought the cut up body in 1973 me and my dad built it, sold it in 1988 and was able to buy it back in 2012, nothing like getting the first car you and your dad built together back, that is why I used that picture

I say it never happened. Where's the pictures?

[zzlegend]

He ran, and so did she. But I know she liked white walls.

[stouchton]

No good stories like zzlegend!!!

Mine was simply the first time I drove a Model A, and if you look real close my son is sitting next to me. He was 6 at the time. Figured I would retake this picture each year and watch him grow up. Hopefully in 10 years we will swap positions and he will be taking me for a ride!

[Great Lakes Greg]

I have always loved the U.S.A. colors furiously flapping in the wind as I run down the road. Model A's go too fast and the flags get shredded, but the Model T just pokes along and all is well.

[RUNNERBUN]

Mine reflects my attitude to life. Life is too short to take all things too seriously. Enjoy your family, your hobby and your possessions. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, make the most of it. Smile and stay happy.

[aford193031]

Mine is a picture of the Town Sedan and Grandpa about 1963. He bought it in 1952.

[37Benny]

well if you buy a '37 Ford truck brochure you'll find a picture of a '37 Deluxe Panel Truck painted green, the same green I want to paint mine..i'd post pics of my Model A tudor..but it's in a billion pcs right now Benny

[KenCoupe]

I wanted either a Model T or Model A since I was about 9 years old. When I finally was able to get one (40 years later), I decided the Model A was the one to get because it was more practical to drive. I know (now) the wheels are not Model A, and few other things are not either, but I am not a strict purist. Cars are meant to be driven and I drive mine. The avatar is my pride and joy.
