If I spent 150 to 200K on any car (assuming I had it to spend), the next listing you would see would start something like:

From the estate of the late George Gordon...

Very cool car though. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I had no idea Ricky Nelson had anything to do with that car.

I hate to say this , but I had a chance to buy the car when Bernie Sievers had it. I thought it was too much money ($9000)for a channeled car then (sometime in the 90's). I would love to have it now. I have always wanted to restore an old hot rod with some history and I probably missed the best chance I will ever have. I will keep looking though!!

Man I'd give my left nut to own that thing. That's one of my all time favorites.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I could reproduce four of those for 200,000 dollars. The guy that drove that car spawned these two jackasses. I'd rather have a Ferrari.

[Kilroy]

JimA's gonna buy that one too. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You had chance to buy it for $9000.00!!!!! That could have been some real good profit. Nice car but for 200k I could have a Ferrari a nice Roadster....and money left! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I would take that car over a parking lot of Ferraries. That car is one of my all time favorites. You could not build that kinda of history no matter what your budget!

The 5th picture is captioned "48 Lincoln Brakes" but clearly shows Ford Lockheed brakes :)

I noticed when I read the "Milestones" book that they kept mixing up Ford brakes and Lincoln brakes. Maybe the editor was using this old article as research and took the caption at it's word.

This Ricky Nelson roadster and many others are in the book. A must-read for a true hot rod fan.


P.S. the "'40 Ford spindles" in the old article pic are really '32 spindles.

And the '40 steering alleged would steer in the wrong direction set up as shown...

Ozzie Nelson, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet: Not much is written about the Nelson family car, although urban legend has it a 1932 Ford Roadster appeared in two episodes. Seems Ozzie's son Ricky was desperate to buy the car with earnings from the show (what kid wouldn't want a car like that), but like most fathers of that generation, Ozzie put his foot down and firmly refused. Today, a 1932 Ford Roadster, similar to the one that appeared on the show, sells for $46,500 high retail. In 1932, you could buy one for right around $460. Maybe Ozzie should have put his foot down on the Roadster's accelerator instead.
