My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
.
Ok, here is the Link to my 390 Auburn photos! This roadster was all new underneath. The couple who brought it were very nice and offered to let my boy hop in for a test drive! I forgot to warn them that he knew where the horn was. My boy brought his own '36s to the show... Oh. My. God. There are 3 rows of '36 Fords! Awesome. While going through the Foundation Museum... holy crap, this dealership is less than a mile from my house! My Dad teaching my boy about flatheads. The fordoor made it! In spite of throwing a rod on Sunday! I was disapointed that my cabriolet didn't make the show, but in a small way it did. My cousin pulled out the motor of the cabriolet and put it in his fordoor for the show. This belongs to a friend of mine. We didn't run into each other until later that night at Mad Anthony's!

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
One of my favorites. Ron and Kathy were super nice. I didn't realize until I got home it was their car in the V8 Times this month all the way from California.
This gentleman drove from Colorado in his Argentina Cabriolet. Super nice fellow. Show was over at 3pm. Cabriolets everywhere! I took a liking to this one. Maybe it was the seldom seen color? Hotel parking lot. Besides ours, I think only 2 other '36s had fog lights. All of ours have either the pair or a single (5 window and the delivery). Foglights make any Ford better, IMO. My favorite part was the cars on the square. So much better to see them in the natural elements vs a grassy field. So rare...

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Hot Rods!
Ken's roadster in the lineup. Great to visit briefly with Ken so far away from home. Our fordoor in the mix. UK coachbuilt '36 There were other years present too of course... I like the wide 5 and the Delivery conversion. Or maybe it's a boulevard delivery. Not sure on that.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
How often do you get to take a picture like this?
My cousin Owen and my boy on Saturday. He really wanted to ride in the fordoor in the worst way. No seat belts though. Lazy day on Saturday. Well that's just a few of the pics. More in the link at the start of my posting. Hope you enjoy them. My first EV8 show as a member and it was loads of fun. It was a great slice of heaven to see so many Fords everywhere we looked all weekend.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Nice pictures Django. I was hoping to find you there at the show but unfortunately I had no idea what your real name is, or who I was actually looking for, so obviously I never found you . That '36 standard 5w coupe from California was one of my favorite cars there at the meet. It was also chosen to be parked inside the museum during the awards banquet. The owner did a very nice job of restoring that car. The gray '34 5w coupe with "Motor City Flathead Test Car" on the door belongs to Mark Kirby who once owned Motor City Flathead's in Detroit, MI. He is now part of Shadow Rods. The engine in that car is one of his 327 CI aluminum block Flathead's. I think he said it has 225-250 hp. My car is the black '35 sedan sitting next to his car in that picture.
Also, it was my impression that the blue '32 sedan with the rear door conversion was actually what's known as a boulevard sedan but I never got to discuss that possibility with the owner.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
John,
Several years ago I bought a large photo on Ebay of the 46's being unloaded at the Jim Mills Ford dealership. Framed it and always hung in my shop in front ofour 46. Great photo! I always wondered where it was taken. Is the building still there? What town in Maryland? Thanks John |

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Great pictures! Wish I could have been there. My old cabriolet would have fit right in with those unrestored cars. Maybe next year!
Thanks, Shadetree

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
The dealership photo description said it was Oak Park, IL. Not sure if the building is still there but I want to do some digging to find out.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Anybody know anything about the origin of the Motor City '34?
I was wondering whether it might be Flatdog's old 12 second coupe...Flatdog died a couple of years ago, and was well connected with Kirby and Motor City. |

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Great bunch of photos. You have a knack for car photos. Unbelievable how many 36s there are out there. Thanks for including yourself in the pics. Nice to put a face on posts. Keep the son interested, and you will both have fond memories forever.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Brian, no 35/36 Deliveries, although in 2009 when I went just for the swap meet on a day trip, there was a early 80s style '36 street rod Delivery in the hotel parking lot.
I agree Rick. Everyone was very welcoming. I think at first most people were surprised to see someone with show credentials with a toddler.

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
Thanks for posting, great photos, love the street scene, two great old fords going their own way.
The dealership photo, I have only been to Oak Park a couple of times on my way to vist the Frank Lloyd Wright house/studio, but it looks not unlike the street that crosses the one that comes up from the station, probably totally wrong but it sort of looks familiar. Thanks again, now got to go back and look at these photos again. Gordon |

Re: My Auburn Meet Experience in Photos
That was certainly a nice roadster John!
I heard back from the historical society on the dealership photo... Quote:
