Yes, thanks for clarifying @HEMI32. I saw the YouTube description and those comments and let the video producer know. Again, doesn't take away...
I agree with Jay's description of Stockton in early '60s (another place for cruising classic cars, just up the road from George Lucas' hometown of...
I love “full boogie hemi” in the article
What a wild weekend! I had fun (and peril!) right alongside you reading your great write up. Kudos!
Thanks for posting this car! I was trying to remember the builder's name. I got to see this car in person at the 2009 Hot Rod Revolution in...
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I would love to flatter him by doing this for my (decidedly non-famous) roadster.
Love it! Can’t wait to see it and hear what it sounds like.
My favorite, from George Trosley: [ATTACH]
I'm in that camp of not preferring red hot rods (Cloud Mist Grey or Royal Triton purple, anyone?), but one of my favorite hot rods is red. In...
I was one of those guys in high school: into 1950s music (always on local AM radio and Saturday mornings on KOFY TV from the Bay Area), culture...
Thanks, Stogy, for this update post on an ancient thread. I haven't seen that photo before! And, before he passed, I bought another book from Don...
My boys and I went out for some roadster therapy this weekend, too. Just bombing around our neighborhood and nearby commercial district, but it...
Yes, I did, thank you! I wear it proudly as my "Major Award" (cue "A Christmas Story"). I haven't seen these photos of the Fossil before, and...
When I first read this post’s title, I thought it was going to be about the Model T Fred MacMurray piloted in Disney’s “The Absentminded...
Great footage, and you’ve got to love the music and narration. I wish I could write copy like that nowadays.
And here are a few photos of the man himself. @HEMI32 posted a similar one above to this one, from a 2006 article about a Return to Kingdon drag...
I thought I had some photos in my files, but I didn't. Nonetheless, here are some I found on the web: This one is from...
Wow! How’s about I find and post more pics and history? (What I have.) He was a founding member of my car club, The Franklin Syndicate.
Walt Orr’s Fossil
RPM Nationals was a blast and very family friendly. My wife and kids helped load and unload, were my pit crew and my biggest fans. It's great to...
I love my T roadster, but it's only good for hauling one other modest-sized person (or two little boys) and enough stuff for a car show in the...
My old-timer friend and fellow car-builder turned 93 this year. He's been working on old Fords since they were new: started in 1939 for 10 cents...
And here he and his friends are, tearing it up with snowboards - I love this video. I want to build one of these so badly, despite living where it...
Here's my contribution. I don't know much about Walt Orr other than he was a local drag racer and owned a gas/service station. The important part...
These are great! I love the juxtaposition of the streamliner and the T. Thanks for sharing these. Posted using the Hopped Up H.A.M.B. App!
Righteous! Thanks, Ryan! Posted using the Hopped Up H.A.M.B. App!
I must've missed some of those posts. Can you link the pics to the respective threads? Or what tag(s) should I search? Thanks in advance....
I've never seen this photo. The car in back is Louis Banto and Sal Macchia's 1927 Ford, "Sales Booster" in the July 1950 Hot Rod - one of my main...
I dig it!
Got mine today, too. Envelope damaged but the Journal's OK. More than OK - it's beautiful. I just like touching the cover. Nice work, Ryan. This...
