Folks Of Interest "Dear ole Dad" Picture?

Goddam hippies... Thats a great shot.

 

Me and the old man... my favorite. Lost him Feb 2013

 

My Dad. He passed away not long after this photo was taken, in 1987.

He preferred horsepower of a different nature.

 

At Strollers Drag Strip (I think) around 1962

 

Hot Rodder,bike rider,musician and yeah a damn long haired hippie. HRP

 

1st pic is my dad and my grandfather in about 1965. My dad just bought the T truck for $15.00, we still have it.
The second pic is my dad at work at the GM tech center, looks like about 1969 or 70.
He passed away in 1988.

 

Although my dad wasn't really a car enthusiast, but he was a stickler for maintenance and did almost all his own, even minor body work. This is my dad, my sister and myself. He'd actually ordered a V8, but after a long wait he accepted this 6 cylinder.

 

At Islip Speedway hopping the fence to stage his Anglia around 1967

 

My Dad on his 47 Indian, fresh out of the Pacific WWII. As he tells it, spent a lot of time on that bike putting the past in the dust.
He has lived a good life raised five kids and the same woman for over sixty years. Dad and I just made a road trip to Florida to see my two brothers.
He's eighty six and still the best man I will ever know. Moms been gone over a year now and we both miss her. Ron

 

I was one for a while there too, but no pictures have survived.

 

Here's one of my Dad, probably in the 1970s, just starting to chop his '57 Chevy pickup. He's still at it, workin' on his '40 Ford today.

 

My Dad, In 1950 always involved in cars.
