Folks Of Interest Who has pictures of themselves as kids with old cars?

Me at 15 in the passengers seat

 

Wow there are some really Kool pictures being posted!

 

Ans also Rocky's post


I've owned 18 station wagons,and maybe 1/2 if we count my old pedalcar wagon* that my younger sister Gail is driving here. Kind of rang a bell looking at above post!

 

Early 70’s ....Two of the cars my dad drove....Probably explains a lot.....

Me, Mom and her '53 Bel Air in May '61 when I was almost a year old:

Me and the Bel Air in '65, not long before we sold it for $90 to a young guy who drove it from Chicago to Memphis without a hitch (he called from there to tell us what a great car it was!):

Me with Dad's '61 Dodge, September '65:


Finally, me and my youngest brother in August '72 sitting in an interesting T-bucket at a gas station in Glenview (anyone recognize the car? Kind of an unusual setup, if a bit O/T):

 

Your grandfather was a heck of a builder!?

 

1958, Dad's 53

Graduation 1975, my sedan (when all my friends were driving Camaros)

 

Thanks, yeah he has built some nice stuff and still at it. Currently both of us are doing C10 pickups. His a 71 and mines a 68.

 

OK....my first NON-streetable car....

 

Me with my dad's '40 Ford.

 

...and a few years later with my dad's '64 Corvette.

 

Great thread here.Just wish I had all of my old pictures.Lost them in a house fire in `88.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Man, look at those pants. I was a way-gone-cat! I wish I had that Hudson. I think my father traded it in on a '57 Ford hardtop that was nothing but trouble. The last one is my wife...in the middle.

 

Are you going to save the car?

'77 or so. I now own the car.

 

Here is me in 1989 on the bumper of my Dads buddies Kustom 50 Merc!

 

Although not a kid this is me with MY first hotrod. I was in my early 20s so I guess i was just a kid.

 

The first pair is 1959. The winter picture is with my mother and older brother with my father's '59 Chevy with our neighbor's '55 in the background. The second picture has another '55 in the neighbor's driveway, but it must be owned by their relative, visiting for Easter. The RPU belonged to a life guard on Long Beach Island, NJ. That was about 1970.

 

Greg, (fleetside66), what kind of car was this?

 

Sorry I'm not Greg, but I'm pretty sure it's a 1948 Hudson convertible. I like all the cool pedal car pictures. Here's me with mine. The little fire truck, that my little brother's on was really my first car. I was only one year old when I got it for Christmas and, I still have it. But my 56 pedal car was stolen from our yard, a few years after this photo was taken. Ron...

 

Lol!! Greg is fleetside66, the guy who posted the picture.

 

I started this thread with a picture of my pops holding me on the running board of his 28 pick up. This photo was taken the day before or a day after. I was an ohh shit im pregnant baby, in the pic my mom is 19 and dad 20! To me those people in the picture are kids!

 

Here's me (third from the left), and my sisters and younger brother (first in line)...in front of Dad's "Kustom" around 1953 or '54. My Dad is the tall one in the ball cap. I remember he'd just painted his '49 Mercury and drove it home...altho it looks like White and Black in this pic, it's actually Turquoise over Black.. Shortly after this pic was shot, Dad bought a '51 Mercury convert that was Dark Blue, nosed and decked, had fender skirts and whitewalls on it and lowered. He bought it for my sis (last in line here) so she could drive it to school...unfortunately I don't have any pix of it.

R-

 

Great pics!

 

My sister, our dog Honey, Mom and me in front of our '41 Pontiac in about 1952, just before going to church.
