Features **Model T buckets/RPU's/Roadster/Tourings official photo thread**

Sunkist and moonkist 1980 delaware.

 

Is that the “Lightning Bug” (the pre-Kookie Grabowski T)? I sure do like that top and windshield. Any clue how much it was chopped, and if the top still folds?

-Dave

 

Nope, that T belongs to Royalshifter here on the HAMB.

 

I saw the "Lightnin Bug" today, wish I had my camera with me!!!

 

Saw this today also, guess where I was ???

 

It wasn't raining in Oakland today Rockey?

 

Looks like people didn't revere old hot rods back in the 60's... Tommy Ivo's T, painted... and in a Magazine and no mention of the original builder.

Lotta cool T's on this thread though!

That black one kicks ass... and the ladies know it!

Sam

 

Destined to be a show winner... that thing is beautiful!

Sam

 

That pic was taken in the 60's i believe, but the original builder still has it in his garage!

 

Here is mine, was my dad's.

 

There she is, the beautiful Miss Becky

Thanks Ron

 

Some I've had involvement with and some I haven't...

 

I've seen this car many times in Wisconsin and Curt R on the HAMB knowsof it's history but not where it is right now.

 

Is that Clint Eastwood? Seriously, I know I've seen a picture a lot like this one that purports to be Clint Eastwood in about 1944.

-Dave

 

That would have made Clint 13 or 14 years old. He was born in '30.

Took me a few minutes, but I found the photo:



Here.

I still don’t know the date, though.

-Dave

 

Okay, a little more digging indicates the picture is from 1945 or ‘46:

See here.

-Dave

 

That's cool.

 

Hey, Flat Power!......I wouldn't mind seeing a few detail pics of those roof frames and hinges, if you have any.

Thanks.....Roger

 

Some pics of my old car. Originally built in '65 as a race car and titled in '67 for street use.

Sold it to a friend a couple of years ago.

Drive it anywhere and it runs 11.20 all day long at the track.

Nothing fancy, just a fun car.

 

Here are a few T's I encountered on my way to, and at Bonn. early in the century. The Tardell flathead record breaking 27 T riadster. Yes that is Vern clowning on "the loneliest road in America".
And I warned you if nobody else kept this thread going you would have to look at another picture of my car.

 

i want to finish with a 60's style rod, but cant afford that much chrome...

someday.....but here is where its at right now...

 

Cool T man, it has the exact profile I'm shooting for with mine. Show us LOTS more pics!

 

Can you tell us more about this car please.

I've not seen or heard about it down here in New Zealand .

Cheers

Shrapnel

 

I'll 2nd that....

 

Just a quick Bump before I go sending PM's re the Silver Bullet above.

Cheers all
