Not sure if you guys missed it but has been featured here a couple of times...

Links above...Great stuff by the way all involved.

​

 

If I ever get around to building a Tudor, that Bill Boren car is going to be a source of heavy inspiration!

 

Man Pufff you are on a ROLL. Great stuff thanks for posting them.

 

Given how fantastic the real photos are, it would be a pity to have the thread polluted with fakes and wanna bees (no matter how nice or good looking they may or may not be.)

I have noticed a large portion of the photos in this thread are red X'd out, or are from photo bucket and no longer there? That is a lot of pictures missing!
Zane.

Hey all. 2 solutions here. First to the original poster...reload pic in your post if you can find a copy of what you posted...pain but doable. Second to all posters save the pic to your hard drive and insert to thread from your folder. That way no red x's ever. Anyways it makes for an x-less thread. You can delete the pic off your hardrive once you have posted if your worried about loading up your drive. It will not affect the thread.

Anyhow back to this great thread.

 

Yeah, Photo Bucket started charging for what was free previously making all images that were hotlinked through their web page now to display as an error unless you subscribe to their services. Its kind of like they're holding the images hostage until me and others pay up. It's only a mere $399 a year for 3rd party hosting! This was all enacted June 26th. Thanks Photo Bucket! You can read more about it here:

Thank YOU!!! The history is so amazing. I'm so excited to be restoring/rebuilding the MufflerTom/Deming coupe!

I love this thread!!!

 

Bumping this great thread.

Would love to see any more pics of lakes type sedans, either past or current.
Need some inspiration.....I am building a lakes inspired '34 Plymouth 2 door.

 

Does anyone have info on this 1939 Deluxe, or know who Don & Dot were?

 

Thanks Pufff, I'll check that out.....

 

Amazing pictures.

 

Earliest photo I've seen of the Sanchez Studebaker. Running Clark Cagle's ARDUN here.

Very similar to the color scheme my grandpa Harry used on the coupe after he got it from the Chrismans!

 

Any idea when that photo was taken?

 

Can it be confirmed? I never figured it out!

 

What year you think that photo was taken?

 

I was just thinking that exact thing. Doesn't seem to me like they were there in other photos. What always makes me laugh is that they drove the car in my grandpa's color scheme with their old helmet that matched the old paint still.

 

The more I see these pictures the more it confirms my worries about the uncertain future of this car and more importantly to me what it was before Jerry. Does anyone know where Jerry got it?

 

Close enough to being a coupe?

 

Yupp fantastic thread and thanks to the contributors of the pics and the stories attached to the glory...

 

Want more? I didn't inherit any of the cars but I have a few cool photos if you like them.

 

The Members here myself included would welcome with vintage eyes anything you would care to share @rocknrollratfink...and many thanks to you and your Grandpa Harry.
