Does your kids like old cars as much as you do? , show 'em

This is my boy in a friend's 39 GMC/Ford/Willys/Oldsmobile/etc , etc

 

He got the bug about 15 years ago...and now he's drag racing,,,,,

 

My little one here can pick out a hot rod about as fast as I can. All my seven and nine year olds like is doing a smokey burnout in the driveway.

 

Here is my 3 1/2 yr old son checking out a few hot rods.

 

Heres my oldest today as we pile everything together after a change.

 

Herre's my youngest one trying to get the keys to my T roadster pickup. Little does he know that the crankshaft for the Desot hemi still resides in my shed!

 

My boy helping me pull a starter off my 54

 

Here is my boy at 4 years and the shoebox ford.



About 6 or so..



7 years old and the Studebaker..



8 with the Model A motor..


You can't get a 10 year old kid to smile for nuttin..



In nine years, my kid has seen 8 cars built start to finish, and has driven them all.

Seee ya, -Abone.

 

These are my kids helping me hang my '46 coupe together the day we got it home. My son is crazy about cars and my daughter likes working out in the shop too.

 

Here's my 9yo helping me with Big Blue... He and his sister run for the door whenever I jingle the keys... but mostly because we go get ice cream in Blue!

 

Here is my 10 year old, Madison working on HER first Studebaker.

 

My eldest test driving his grandfathers 37 we built in the 80's.

Going to prom with his girl friend (now wife) in my car.

Just some of his fleet today (some of you may know him as 27T).

Now to start on his kids...

 

3rd generation..............cool!

 

My oldest just got a rollaway toolbox for his 14th bday on the 8th and spent all his money on tools he has an ot 69 bronco. My ten year old is holding out for a modela rpu. My nine year old girl wants nothing other than dads 46 ford bus coupe. My wife wants an old long roof. The sad thing is they have all laid claim to my cars. Will post pics later.

 

Here's my little "Cam" 2 years ago when I got started on my Cad. He immediately makes his way to the driver's seat in any car the minute he's unbuckled form his kid seat.

 

Best thing you can do is start fostering the interest early. My son around his fifth birthday.

 

My Boys have been aropund cars since they were born, every time I flip one, is just piss's them off, but they know another will be comming soon. They are with their mother for a couple of months, but next week will see the Simple T, I already know, their going to be leaning on me, as this one is mine..it's not going anywhere..

 

My little one has been around cars since birth... She is also 3rd generation as my dad is into cars which is how I got started.

At 6 months old at her first carshow. I built the tot rod for her...


2 years ago hunting for a project with me...



a few weeks ago in the driveway with my 2 projects...

 

my girls love hot rods...

 

My kid 20 years ago with his new 50 club coupe and the car now..in his garage with a 400 SBC/400 turbo. Starts and runs but still doesn't drive yet.

 

Seems like most car people I know that have older kids, the kids have nothing to do with hot rods/old cars. Kids of the 50's, 60's, and 70's didn't have all the 'new' toys of the last couple decades. My father son projects taught my now engineer son alot about using tools, welding etc. which makes him a good engineer. But, current interest in hot rods - too many other interests in his life.

So true, and no good places to hang like Jocko's either..

 

Here are my two boys that can not wait to drive.

flamedabone - A Very cool thread with the kids they look so cool. Your Mercury with the Mopar tail lights looks very cool.

CRUISER

 

yes, i think my kids have fun with daddys "crazy" cars...

 

my son started in a junior dragster at age 10. Now almost 22 he finished his college coarse and obtained his motor vehicle mechanic licence---man--kids are like weeds---ya feed em and they grow

 

my 3 year old always want to take the old truck so she can help drive.My son has helped build 2 so far but he would rather play video games.Maybe he will get into the cars someday.

 

Both my sons love to be in the old cars. My 64 falcon was my oldest sons car until I started the model A and told him the Model A will be faster then the Falcon. So he said the Model A is his car now and the Falcon is his little brothers car. They are 3 and 1.
Here is Coop. Father like Son


Here are the boys in the Falcon playing around. Mine are the First two you see.
