Future Project

[682bear]

I just hauled a future project home...













It's a 1929 Ford Model A... all original, unrestored.

There is one dent in the body, but I haven't found any rust at all. It hasn't been started since 1976, but the engine is not frozen. The front wheels are correct, but the rear wheels are from a mid-30's model.

It will be stored inside for a while... I have several other projects to finish before I can dedicate much time to this one.

Makes me think of Bonnie and Clyde...

Bonnie and Clyde had a 30's model... Clyde wrote Henry Ford a letter to let Ford know how much he liked the flathead V8... the cops couldn't keep up with him!

I do the same thing.

Unfortunately, in my case, it usually just means a bunch of unfinished projects around for far longer than they should be.

Luckily, I'm retired.......so time I got.....well, at least some time before the big nap that is....

So he did! Of course I had to look it up…

Handwritten on paper: Tulsa, Okla 10th April Mr Henry Ford Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir: - While I still have got breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove Fords exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got ever other car skinned and even if my business hasen't been strickly legal it don't hurt enything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8 - Yours truly Clyde Champion Barrow

Living in Hershey (home of the Antique Auto Club), I have grown to appreciate true antiques: you are fortunate to have s garaged, Southern vehicle: most of the ones Up here that aren’t restorations are either barn finds or rusted to nothing.
