History Anybody got good shots of their Dad's old cars?

Here's my dad with his '37 Ford wagon , which I still have today. In one picture he's working on it in the early '60's. The other picture was taken in FLA in 1950 I can be seen with my Father.

 

My Pop's 40 Ford. Twin spots....twin antennas....dual fog lights.
Flathead V8. He cut up a drive line to make tail pipes. He said they were quite loud!

 

We were too poor to afford a camera so this is the only photo I could find of any of my dads cars. It was a 49 Ford coupe. Small back seat but as you can see, I didn't take up much space. I remember I liked the car. He took good care of it. I can remember that it had loud glasspacks on it and it had the first suicide knob I remember on the steering wheel.

My Dad's brand new Ford with my Sister and oldest Brother in it. Peabody, Ma. -He sold the house, bought this car and a new Airstream trailer and spent the Summer traveling across the country with my Mom and older Brother & Sister. The Ford was worn out by the time they got to California. He bought a new car out there for the trip home.

 

My dad finally let me take some pictures out of his album and scan them in, so here we go. The Impala is the same car in all 3 pictures.

 

These are Dad's cars that he has now. Not HAMB friendly, but he's still into cars.

 

My Dad built three of these Miniature 10 Wheelers , first one in 54 another in 59 and the 3rd one in 97 I tried to find the first 2 , advertising in Old Car publications with no luck. but I do have the last one

 

This was my Dad's post WW2. I think it got him into trouble with these two guys.

 

TAWNY MIST, what a great name for a stripper or porn star!!!

There's one in my avatar and here's another...

 

My Dad's '52 hardtop circa 1955, just before he bought a new '56 Ford.

 

This is my mom and the new car in 1950. She was 19

 

A couple of my dad's rides in the early 50's.

 

The mild custom '52 Ford my dad built during his senior year in high school in '53, so it was still practically a new car:
Nosed, decked, shaved handles, de-chromed, cut coils, custom straight grill bar, faux-Continental kit...I don't recognize the wheel covers

The '57 convertible was purchased brand new in early '58...he had actually gone to look at new Studebakers, and saw this convertible in the back of the lot at the Chevy dealership across the street...he got a deal since they were trying to blow out all the '57 models: 283/4-bbl w/3-speed & overdrive, dual deck antennas, dual exhaust, skirts, Continental kit...
...we moved to the West Coast, (Washington), in summer of '59, where he bought a Texaco gas station, the '57 originally had a black top, but he had it changed to a white top by the upholstery shop next door to the Texaco station...he also removed the mufflers, and welded up a straight pipe exhaust system

 

This being Veterans Day and a Dad's old car thread I have a two for one picture. That's my Dad with his 40 Chevy convert in 1943 while he was home on leave. Dad turned 18 in 1940. He had worked since he was 14 and saved every penny towards a new car the same year he graduated high school. In Jan. 1940 he some how had the money for the convert and also got a loan and bought a new 1940 Chevy dump truck to haul coal and any thing else he could make a buck on. He drove the truck to school after running it all night, he told me if it wasn't for going to school he never would have gotten any sleep LOL! After graduating in the spring of 1940 he worked the truck until 1942 when he went into the Army Air Corps where he ended up being a tail gunner instructor until the war ended. I guess there was never a picture of the dump truck as it was sold before he left for boot camp. The convert was traded in on a 46 Buick Roadmaster in 1947 and he owned nothing but Buicks until the day he died in 1988.
When I went in the Army in 191 the only advise he gave me was " Don't do anything to stand out from any body else, shave every day and don't piss off a drill Sgt. Good advise!!
