Who else drives an old car daily? post pics

Not sure if it's exactly HAMB material, but this is my daily driver

 

This is my daily driver!!!

 

This is my ex-daily driver of 3 yrs, still have it but it needs a little love now. I miss the torque of that 389...

 

mine ain't quite up to snuff yet but sooner rather than later. buttt Fatty, I've seen that buick around. I was around passaic with my friend sheila and she saw it and said she wished she had an old car.

 

I know its not hamb related but it is semi old.

[/IMG]Sorry first one did not take. Here it is.

 

Here's my parts chaser, a '61 "Shelby" Falcon

 

Here in about a week this will be my daily driver. I have a few more things to fix first. Then i'm selling my daily driver and switching to the 53!

 

Here's my '34 Cab. I drive it about 11 months of the year here in Western PA. When the weather gets cold I put the top on and roll up the windows. Being retired allows me to pick and choose what weather I drive in.

 

This was my only car for about 6 or 7 years. If it broke, I had to drive mama's car and she stayed home.

I sold it in February to get a new project and finally bought a pickup to chase parts/go to work in.

 

Never owned anything else but my Chevys and Straight 6s.
Got the truck in 1995 and drove it almost everyday since.

Can't imagine working on or driving anything else.

 

Here's my daily, 49 Chevy PU on S10 with 350/700r.

 

Here's my dailly I posted this pic on another thread. 1951 Pontiac Chieftain drives great and I go everywhere in it. I think it's ready for a new paint job. It's been this way for 7-8 years.

 

My only car, does about 200 miles a week:



Got another project in the garage to keep it company though, wouldn't want it getting lonely

 

Here is my daily driver...Da' ol BOMB....Work in progress!!

 

I,m amazed!My old jalop forever breaks down,and even holds up tractors?I barely get the thing round the block.Good luck to ya it must be a goodun

 

Nick, you need one of these



Not everyday but pretty much. Plus it has the added advantage of not depreciating with every mile I add. And it makes me smile. And I can park it anywhere, unlike the pumkin....

P.

 

She's ugly, rusty, and slow, but she goes everywhere.
1957 Chevy 3100 with a 350, T-5 and 12 bolt rear. Stock everything else.

 

My daily. 1954 chevy 210.

 

My wife is drivin her chopped 49 Merc to work today. 60 mile round trip on I-5. We drive a old car every day...They always run.!!!!!........OLDBEET

 

Here's mine. The extra doors are handy on a daily driver, especially when you have kids and also when you need to load up with groceries. It's a pain opening the trunk without a lock cylinder!

With manual steering, brakes, 3 on the tree and a useless side mirror, you don't have time to drink a coffee or talk on a cell phone! The gawks are priceless!

here's my '56 210 4 door, it's my first car, drove it to high school...let it sit a couple years 'till my driving record cleared and now it's back on the streets full time.

I know it looks kinda odd all up in the air...I just put the wheels on and will be lowering it as soon as I get the 700r-4 trans put back together and back in. I actually got the wheels and mounted them the day after the trans went BOOM!





The newest vehicle I own is my '93 (1st gen) dodge ram Cummins turbodiesel...I only drive that for hauling/towing. Or like now, when I have the '56 trans pulled apart.

 

I drive this '50 Stude almost every day.....

 

3-4 days a week....

 

I would love to find a 54 similar to that for a daily driver. I've wanted one for about 15 years now, just haven't found one at the right time for the right price.

 

My 20 yo brothers '60 Lark... driven from Pittsburgh to Flint, Michigan and sits in the GM Plant in Lordstown, OH when he's at work. Bone stock except for radials and a GM 1 wire alternator. 259 Twin-Traction 3 spd on column.

I also have a '71 F-100 the looks bone stock packing a hot 460 that I used to drive daily that's slowing coming back to life.

My current is a '68 Ranchero 390/4 speed thats getting the interior done by a friend....Its my dad's car but he never drives it so somebody has to.

Other previous dailys were: '71 Ford Torino 500, '65 Falcon Sedan, '65 Ranchero 289 4 speed....

I am getting back into driving old stuff every day. New cars make me feel like a wuss.

 

EVERY day.

 

The guys who have been on the HAMB since before 2001 are probably tired of looking at pics of my cars so I will just list some that I drive. I dont own anything newer than 1966 and the only reason I have a car that new is because my parents drove it 25 years. I have 8 Model As, 4 running and driving, plus another driving chassis, a 1931 A Coupe that I have driven thru 3 states for 12 years, a 1935 Ford pickup, a 1939 Ford pickup, 16 years, 4 states often pulling another car on the trailer, a 57 Chevy, 8 years, a 59 Ford about 8 years, a 1954 Flxible bus, yes thats spelled correctly and the 1966 Chrysler Convertible, 12 years. I have many ol cars, some running but not yet legal plus a few motorcycles.
