Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
Let's see your classic cars in front of classic buildings. Tell us what the building is, where the building is, what you were doing there, and maybe even a link to learn more about it. Maybe we'll want to go there too.
Here are a couple of mine for starters: The Old Abandoned Garage in Pioche, Nevada April 2010 road trip. http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/nv/pioche.html Horseshoe Mountain Pottery in Historic Spring City, Utah February 2010 road trip. http://sanpete.com/tours/7-spring-city-0-9-mb Old Sinclair Garage in Elberta, Utah population 383 January 2008 road trip. http://www.city-data.com/city/Elberta-Utah.html Manti House Inn (my great grandfather's home) in Manti, Utah Valentine's Day 2009 road trip. http://mantihouseinn.com/ Salt Lake Stock & Mining Exchange Building on the set of "Inspector 42" filming March 2009. About the building: http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm4/ite...r&CISOPTR=8122 About the movie: http://www.inspector42.com/Inspector42_/Main.html (Find my car in the splash screen and preview.) NOTE: A lot of these trips were in the snow! LOVE IT!

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
This is my 35 pickup parked in a Texaco station, located in Uxbridge, Ma. on West Hartford Ave. The station is hard to find being that it sits back off the main road.
It makes for a great photo shoot for old car buffs. Drive up and ask the owner. Chet/Ma. |

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
This is a picture of my 1940 Ford deluxe, 4 door. The gas station was restored in my little town Of Stover, Mo. My plans were to make Christmas cards of this picture. This a great place to take pics.

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
Here is our 65 GTO in front of our town's old gas station.
The guy who owns it sells old gas pumps and signs. Hampshire, Illinois 60140 If you click on the pic, there is the interior of our 38 Chevy pickup, and the inside of an old barn I found full of old car fenders and parts.

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
Worley Store, est. 1925, overlooking Worley's Bottom at Apache Pass, just north of Downtown, Tx. No kidding! The Sinclair electric pump replace the old visible pump in the 1950s. The store closed down in the early 1970s.
If you're coming from Downtown, you'll have to cross the San Gabriel River using the Worley Bridge, circa 1912. A friend of mine has a place near there and we just drove over to check it out. Here's some info: http://www.milamcountyhistoricalcomm...spaper_022.php http://www.apachepass.com/ Last edited by Randy; 12-19-2010 at 04:55 PM. |

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
Dennis and I drove out to see The Grove, TX, at the preview before the auction.
http://www.texasescapes.com/TexasGho...GroveTexas.htm http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/texas/t...-auction-block http://www.burleyauction.com/auctionschedule.html I didn't get to go to the auction and haven't kept up with what has happened since, but it sure was a neat place for a long time. I was bummed that they were going to auction the contents first and then the buildings, shame to split it all up. Last edited by Randy; 12-19-2010 at 04:56 PM. |

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
This was taken in Driftwood, Texas (near Austin). My '39 coupe on location for a photoshoot for "Wired" magazine. I brought my own camera along and snapped this shot.

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
I've been to Driftwood, but I don't remember that station. I guess I would have seen the building, but were the pump and signs added for the photo shoot or is that how it is? Cool picture!

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
Old Henry. It's nice to see a beautiful old 4 door for a change. These were the staple car coming out of FOMOCO down here is New Zealand in the late 40's. We only got those and coupes, but the 4 doors were far more common. for too long these majestic looking cars have been overlooked. you got far more variety of body styles in the "home of Ford".

Re: Classic Cars at Classic Buildings
When I returned to my home town with the newly restored "Merlot" last summer we posed beside; Burgess stand at the Leamington dock; In front of the Jiimaan ferry to Pelee Island in Lake Erie; at the foot of the water tower, at Leamington (home of Heinz Canada, where I worked when I first bought him); and in front of my former home. This was the first time my truck had been "Home" in fifty years.
