Art & Inspiration Traditional images that need no explanation.

When I was a kid my family had a '36 Ford 5 window. It wasn't running, it was just parked in the last bay in our pole shed being forgotten and neglected. But man! did that car ever fire my young imagination! I used to pester my dad about getting it running. When I was 8 or 9 years old, in '71/'72, I even drew up a multi-page plan of what I wanted to do to fix it up. One of the pages in my plan detailed a wheel and tire change - just like the ones in this picture. Who knows, I may have even seen this picture when I was little, but this is what I had pictured in my mind 50 years ago...

 

And I will bet the 10mm socket is missing...….

 

Dave Aldana......what a character.
He raced about everything on 2 wheels.....AMA was gonna ban him if he did not stop wearing his Suit of Bones leathers.

 

I Love the look of the front end, very cool!

 

Looks like "the kid" found himself a friend....

 

Not a stroker.

 

Seems like you could just find a street with poor drainage for this

 

OK you guys, name that car. Not really the car, I know it’s a Deuce roadster. Who was one if its owners?

 

Don Hudson!
Oh you probably meant Tom McMullin.

Mick

 

Well played Mick! I should have known you would come up with Don Hudson too

 

Norton/Marion Roadster. I am asking for help, all of the type is smaller than before, everything is condensed, only on this forum. Any ideas how to restore it as before. Thanks.

 

Great knowledge on this board. Love the history.
