What's Old April 2023
An old project of mine turned up recently. Here is what it looked like when I owned it. I never did finish it.
Picture

Super rare 1947 Pontiac Sedan Delivery. The body was tough but I learned how to weld fixing the rear fender area. The fenders were nice but I had to buy a parts car to get a hood. I will have to find the pictures of the parts car and share them and the story another time.

WHAT'S OLD FEBRUARY 2023

With the weather we have been having lately I thought I would try to find some old cars in snow pictures and I was surprised I had a couple but I had to leave us on an up note with summertime pictures as well.
Picture
Here is a 57 Chevrolet Suburban we previously owned not buried but in deep snow.
Picture
Here is the Wildcat before we brought it home in 1995. The roads were clear before we drove it.
Picture
When the BEACH BOYS came to Leamington we went all out with a car show . Dennis Jackson's "Heinz" truck , and some of the ladies from the registration tent.

Hot weather and cool white GMC truck in Columbus with Holley showing off her ribbon for the colouring contest.

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.
