Then and now....cool huh

 

That's a big hood ornament in the first shot!

 

I think it looks better without the polar bear or big ass dog. Hard to tell on my handheld.

 

Nice!

 

Ya, that's cool.

 

Yes, it's cool. Please explain...passed down in your family?

 

Very cool, whats the history?

 

Bought the car local at an estate sale, original family til me, the daughter gave me pictures she had when here great uncle owned it, then her parents got it. I just reassembled it (and well fixed a few things) and gave it a buff.

here's the car at Daytona

 

I'm no expert on that model, but is it a 29ish Chrysler? My nieghbour has 2, a coupe and a roadster. The coupe was built in Ealing, England and used as a tractor on a big estate. Cool car.

 

it's a 27' Hupmobile series A

 

It would make a nice hot rod.

 

used have to have a dog on front of cars to bark if they saw a pedestrian, etc (Ha!).
so, when chopping & stuffing a blower motor in? classy ride!

 

Rinty....as in Rin Tin Tin?

 

Bitchin

 

yeah they loved that dog, check out the cool canopy (which I still have) over the dog. Oh and by the way, the girl and her brother in picture, she's the mother of the daughter I bought it off of at the estate sale...

 

And here's how I found it...

 

Very cool! Great that you have the old photos too.

 

Thanks for your e mail volksnut this week with pictures of the car.

Frenchy

 

Isn't it cool when someone cares enough to give you some photo's. It's obviously reciprocated since you're gonna save it from the garage!

 

Drove it Sunday (St. Paddy parade) and today to work, pisses the locals off (to slow) but hey they'll get over it

 

Glad to see your on here too.....
