Povertyflats rescues old Model T hot rod!

Man, What a way to end a story ! A meeting by chance in Florida (!) with the two guys who built the coupester! Way cool. Keep them a coming.

 

I have a 27 T coupester with operating doors that is almost finished. I can't wait to go drive it around this spring ! Very cool find.

Wow Paul, that is a crazy coincidence, incredible really. I bet they were floored when you told them you found it and took it home. Now all we need is a current pic from Bugsy to see what it looks like now. Very cool story.

 

Thanks---I don't think Bugsy has worked on it yet. And the guys in FL were with me and our spouses on vacation. We were all from KS or OK. 2 of them went to high school together in Abilene, KS and are now over 60 years old and were telling car stories at dinner. As soon as I heard about this car, I knew it was the one I used to own.

 

</CENTER>Classic!!!

 

Another T&A

 

Great story! I would love to see the tow pic in black and white!

 

Nice find! A very cool story and a very cool car!

 

Here's a "dated" version.

Great find!

 

Thanks Virgil! I like that.

 

Is that all you do is eat and tell stories?

 

Hell yes! Those are my only skills.

 

The tow truck is really cool....It makes the entire scene way cooler....

POV, what a cool post. I like all of it, unreal to have that story flow out the way it did. That b/w photo is calendar material, lookin forward to the KKOA to see you guys again. ~Sololobo~

 

Aww man, how did miss this the first time around??

Awesome.

Thats all I can say, awesome.

I gotta move country's I think.
doc.

 

looks like it could have been 70 yrs ago.

 

Thats the pic that needs to be on a hot rod calendar......................YG

 

What is the tow truck? looks like Dodge. I didnt know Model A doors would fit a T either.

 

Thanks for the comments. The tow truck is a 1919 Dodge (formerly a touring car) and is a veteran of many parades. Dependable and always ready to go to work.

 

I agree with you on this one

 

Ok....am I seeing things? Am I the only one who sees a tall windshield with glass in it and what looks like a 29 grill in the very first picture? That first picture doesnt look anything like the car being towed....

 

Dangnamit poverty! You always find the best stuff. I hope I can beat you out on something some day. Maybe see you in Lincoln for the March swapmeet.

 

thanks louie---yes I will be at Lincoln swap meet---hope to see all my Nebraska friends.
