Throwback Thursday

[rockfla]

Okay
You barner's have had over a week to dig through you picture and find "past" gems of cars you bought, still own, sold or at some point "the one that got away"!! SO today I am starting with this 33 Standard 4cyl. My Mom actually saw this car one afternoon coming home from work about 2:30/3 o'clock!! The picture was taken at probably close to 5pm the "same" day when the "deal" was done!! It was about 45-48 years ago and this was "THE" one that got my V8 fire burning at the ripe age of 8-10 years old, the point where my interest and impending ability to drive were both lights at the end of what I believed to be a short tunnel!!! We still have it today and is one of the first projects to head the list to get moved to my new shop!!!!

Great story, can't wait to see it done. 1964 my Dad bought me a '50 Tudor sedan for $5.00 from a guy he worked with, after driving it for two years I sold it, that started my quest for flathead Fords.

Every day is throwback day for me when I take the 52 Merc out for a spin. I didn't buy it but my dad did in October of 59 for $800. Most of you have heard the story before so here is a then and now picture of it.

This is the '39 Tudor Deluxe, that my dad bought new, in KS, before moving to CA, that same year.

The picture was taken in AR, at my grandfathers farm, in about 1951. Me and my grandfather are on the left.

I didn't get a chance at that car. My father loaned it to a HS kid, in '55 and he had a small fender bender. It bent the r/f fender, broke the grill and radiator. It sat until 1960, and my dad had it hauled off for junk, before I got my license. Sad, because I can honestly say that I would still have that car today, if he hadn't done that.

I still love those '39's.
