WHAT'S OLD OCTOBER 2022

I sometimes struggle with a theme for the Newsletter / Blog but when I actually got into the old pictures recent conversations helped select some great old pictures from days gone by.
​
Picture
We have been talking a lot about 348 and 409 engines lately . Here is a sweet coupe with one all dressed up.

Picture
I think this is Kalamazoo but I am pretty sure that was the Postman's 37 and Gary's Model A coupe - could be Muddy River Run?

Picture
Nice yellow 37 Sedan - Columbus I think ?

Picture
We have been chasing parts for an Anglia and here is a nice red one.

Picture
We were talking about this Anglia this week - is it still around?

Picture
This picture fits into the blog twice - it was taken at a Cider Mill in Michigan on a late season road trip we went on decades ago and it was rarely seen without the previous Anglia near by. I wonder how many Miles it has on it now?

What's old May 2022

Here is a couple of old pictures from 1983 or 84 at one of the big shows in the States.
With the great weather we had on the weekend I knew everyone was wearing their cheap sunglasses and these pictures would help with the sound track.

WHAT'S OLD APRIL 2022

Going through the old pictures I found a couple I don't think I have shared before.
Even though we are known as Chevy people we have or have previously owned a lot of Buicks.
We currently have seven - more than we have Chevrolets. Here are some pictures.

1937 Buick Special
Picture
Old picture of Bob's 68 Skylark
Picture
1984 Park Ave - perhaps the best winter beater we ever owned - at least for operating costs and reliability
Picture
1966 Buick Riviera we bought for the nailhead
Picture
1951 Buick I bought on ebay and got running and driving - cool car

WHAT'S OLD FEBRUARY 2022

Let's talk about trucks. We found a bunch of great pictures of trucks we have had, sold or parted over the years on that recovered memory from an old computer. Here are some I thought might be worth sharing.
almost all of them have stories attached if we had room ... 
1969 longbox - this truck was way to nice to part out but the previous owner had disassembled it 

1962 GMC suburban we brought over from the states -305 V6 we pulled out before we sold it -.

1969 Suburban before it became our swap meet truck- we miss it but new owners are having fun with it. 

1972 Camper Special we brought out of Flushing Michigan - untouched big block, factory air truck -parted out.

1991 shortbox - local truck had a rebuilt 350 and good 700r4 we used when we built Andrew's 64.

1949 parts truck - had been well stripped when we got it out of Windsor but still had some good parts

1949 stake truck - the wood deck still cranked up to dump

58 longbox we discovered on a back road near London - running and driving 283 stick - sold a long time ago.
