Drove my 48 sedan for 22 years this past spring while I've been driving the coupe in my avatar for 4 years this fall.
Wow, can’t believe it, 45 years. Got it in pieces when I was 13. Been on the road since 1987. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
<< 39 years ago I brought my 33 home from a ravine in Northern Nevada, made some changes over the years.
hi I've had three oldies in my adult life. Only one at a time. The Nomad was my first car from 1965 to 1985. Sold it to buy the Vicky which I drove from 1986 to 2013. Bought the highboy in 2012. Fifty five years.
I bought my beat-up never been pretty 41 Ford out of a feed store/ gas station out of Smith Valley Nevada around May 1981. Drove it to Fathers Day two weeks later with flathead, loose steering and trucker white spoke rims
I know it's not super cool..but I bought this wagon in 1991 when I was 13 for $650. Next year will be 30 years and nearly 3/4 of my life.
From dad to me, been sitting behind the wheel as long as I can Remember. We migrated to Cali in 62 left the coup in S.D. My Dad Died in the 1980’s, I retrieved it then, story continued......
The guy that had collection outside Fallon =" Louie Cote' " was a friend of my Dads', He gave me a 33 fordor parts car , which I needed for the B pillar on the right side of mine, you can see it against the wall in this pic
Bought this one back in 1977 for $500. Purchased from the original owner from the west side of Chicago. It had about 30k miles on it. Saved it while buying and selling hundreds of other Corvairs. This past June it suffered a very short but very expensive engine fire. Hagerty Insurance took care of the loss in fine fashion. Car has been repaired and repainted and should see the road again next Spring. Now showing 60k miles and ready for more!
My Grandmother Jessie bought the wagon new and it's been in the family since 1954 so it's been in the family for 68 years.
Got my 30 Ford Coupe for Christmas, 1964, just going through the 4th engine(B) now. Had my 46 Ford Coupe for only 32 years.
Had the truck for 30 years and built the FED 9yrs ago and if everything goes well I will still be piloting them both 15 years from now when I'm 90........................
My dad bought this new, turned it over to me when I was 16, signed titled over when I was 18, so about 41 years in my name. Rolled it out of the shop in the spring to work on my kids car, pandemic hits. Work gets crazy. Now I need to hustle to get her car on the road, get the ‘57 back in the shop and put the parts on I bought the past month for it. Lol. Time and money. Used to not have money, now no time!!
41-1/2 years for this old girl. I traded a '62 Vette for it. May acquire another '62 if things go right this week...an almost twin for the first one.[/ATTACH]
I got my 34 Ford 5 window as a basket case in the late 70's. Got it on the road around 85. Now have close to 80K on the clock. Many years & many miles.
41 years so far for my OT 68 GTO, which my father bought new. I've had it since 16 years old. Sent from dumb operator on a smart phone
