History Does anybody have cool pictures of family members cars ?

My dads two toys.

 

Ive got this one. My wife's uncle's FED from the late 50's, along with his highschool sweetheart.

 

My Dad loved his cars. Boy o boy he had quite a few of them over the years.

Here is a selection of some...

 

My son and grandson on their way to Torquefest. First drive was that afternoon, second drive was to Dubuque (88 miles) running 50-60 down Hwy 20.

 

Great Uncle Don Weyl (In Car) crewed Sam Craft on this A.A.A. Big Car. Sam was from Denver NY and barn stormed the East Coast and Mid-West. We think it's a Ford Model B with overhead conversion



My maternal grandparents, Jim and Anna Brazie.
I wish I could tell you the Ford had a full house Flathead, or a hopped up 303 Olds,
but other than the spotlight it was a bone stock 36..


My great grandfather Harold "Pop" Kellerhouse he was a Cities Service wholesaler


Dad's first late model-
64 Chevelle 2 door hard top
Bobby Allison style rear suspension

Ran Fonda, Accord, Mid-State and Little Lincoln Del.

 

My dad and his 34 in 1955. Me with the same car today

 

Here’s my Uncle Lou and his lovely bride Ardis with Lou’s channeled 34 roadster taken around 51 in Roseburg Oregon

Hard to see your tiny pic of your dad in 1955 so I made it bigger for you.

 

What a great photo !!!

Love it !!!

 

Thank you!

 

Here’s my uncle Lou with the 32 Vic he chopped for his brother, my other uncle Bud
This is in Roseburg around 51
The second pic is Bud and a couple of his pals in front of Roseburg high in his 31 roadster with flipper caps

 

Our Mom and Dad with more of their cars. Our Grandmother with her 54 Chevy. Me and my Dad with our 60 Chevy that I took my drivers test in.

 

That makes a good case for a full fendered car!

 

Stuck in the snow after sliding sideways? LOL

 

Older Brothers Deuce...

 

Your brother did a nice job building his car. Perfect

 

Both cars look so early 50s Our neighbor had a chopped 32 vicky. He did it himself in his garage. About 1955.

 

My cousin's T-bird taken around 1960. Note the Moon discs and the Moon eyes.

 

Our T-Bucket from 1975 - 1978

 

My Mom & Dad on the road

Mom competing in 40 Ford Hardtop Races in the early 50's

 

My uncle (close friend of the family's) cadillacs. Somewhere there's a picture from the early 60's of my great aunt with my great uncle's 57 bel air, and another with the red corvair convertible he traded it for.

 

My dad was always bringing home something to resale. He brought this 55 truck home about 1972 or 73 and my brother who was driving a Stude Lark snapped it up. It was our first engine swap/upgrade from the 6 he wore out to a 283. Not much has changed since and it still runs that same 283 with a 3sp from a 1966 fully sycro'd.

Here's all his grandkids for a picture op -most will go the sports route but there's always hope they'll hang out with their great uncle ! I'll have to get my scanner ink so I can show it in color.

 

Jim Sentell's "White Trash" 1922 Ford in the mid 70's

 

My Dad and his '17' T

 

Uncle Ray Anderegg wrenching on his AMBR winner circ. 1956

 

My brother's glass bodied, tube chassis, flathead powered "pan-america" race car.

 

My grandpa’s work truck he worked for the BO railroad you can almost see the logo on the door. Never got to know him as he passed when I was young. As my dad tells it he was working on a rail switch gear one rainy night and was hit by a train.
Dad said he’s always thought it was a heart attack that happened first. Grandpa had a colorful life making a lot of moonshine during the depression to survive. I wish I could have got to know him

 

My late father & his 1st car, think he started working on it when he was 14, a 1941 Ford Convertible, that had a non running flathead, shot clutch & no front sheetmetal, he made 1947 front sheetmetal fit, got the distributor(s) repaired & set up at a local shop & he rebuilt the pressure plate by using springs from a different flathead pressure plate (that was larger diameter & wouldn't fit, by using a jack & post against the rafters of a shed to unload the pressure plate) - my Dad said the first time he heard it fire he jumped out of the Car and ran around the house hollering, then jumped back in & it actually started & idled, his eyes sparkled when he shared that story..

 

The first picture is of my grandmothers 38 Chevy, she traded it for a 53 Chevy demonstrator in 1954. the second is of my dad's only son I sold that car to a friend, and then lost track of it twenty years ago, I stumbled over it last year, about five miles from where I live. Dad said that 40 Ford had too much power for the chassis the next is me in the early 60's and the last is my parents wedding day, their 38 Ford is in the background. Dad sorta went downhill after the 40 Ford and bought new 49 and 50 Nashes but returned to sanity and bought Dodges the rest of his life

 

That's me on the fender of my father's Hudson, sporting some bad-ass cowboys boots. I learned to drive on a later one.... '49 Commodore...what a tank!


That's my wife in the middle in front of who the hell knows what.
