Event Coverage Early Ford V8 Club 2018 Swapmeet Fitchburg Mass Roll call

One for HRP.


I know but they are 32

 

Not sure if this was authentic Tom Medley but it sure looked it and it was cool for $1,000.


Lots of wheeling and dealing!

 

This little girl could wheel this electric motor powered car around like a seasoned driver. Kudo's to her Dad and she had the no fear attitude to go with the ride.

 

It was a little cool at 6:am but turned into a near perfect day!

What was this off of? It sure had a cool look.

This was just a small sampling of what was in Fitchburg today.

 

Thanks for the pics! The green and white Ford wagon you pictured belongs to Paul Aldrich of the "Ty- Rods" cc , Mass. Paul is one of the official " keepers of the flame" restoring early area race cars, and sharing endless info on hot rodding in New England.

Had a great day at the swap meet in Fitchburg today. Lots of stuff to see. Thanks Patmanta for listing Hamb vendors by space numbers. I was able to meet a few of the guys!

 

I was there from 7-12 and didn’t buy one car part. Something must be wrong ...I’m headed to the ER now. I hope the nurse doesn’t have cold hands.

Had a great time today. Saw bunches of guys, and a few gals walk right by my rusty stuff. Picked up a couple necessities. Thanx Robert Palmer and Walt from VT.

Nice camera work there Mark. Only photos were on the way there, there and on the way home.
Had a chance to visit with many but missed you guys again.

Beautiful day!

 

I just got in, I had supper, Now I am heading for bed! Totally wiped out!

I will post my photographs tomorrow.

 

I like the way the electric motor sounded like a supercharger!

 

Had a great day. Sold some stuff and gave away some magazines that will be placed in a hospital waiting area.
Got to meet Greaser and 33 and a 1/3 Ted. I was alone so I didn’t get to do much walking around. NED next weekend, not setting up just looking for more STUFF.

It was pretty sunny by the time i made it over to that side from the vendor aisles so most of the pictures i took with my phone were taken blind

 

Thanks for the pics Mark. Looks like a great swap with lots of interesting cars to look at also.
Those 36 spare tire rings wouldn't last long here in Oz where hi-boys have to run cycle fenders.

How much was on the 32-5 with the Nailhead as I liked that one a lot?

Thanks also to you Stooge as you got different cars to those that Mark shot.

 

Wonder if he still has the door tops and wants to sell them? Looks like it was a great meet. I stayed home and bought this plate. Bob

 

It did have a whine to it.

Not a bad day at all. Sold some stuff (not as much as I liked too but that’s life) I did get to see a lot of friends and familiar faces. I picked up this super nice 57 Criss Craft wheel that came off the 32 Tudor that was parked across from my spot

Looks better then lake compounds swapmeet was

 

Yep, nice day with great turnout. Got some good exercise walking the lanes, but came home with nothing. Didn't really need anything though as I was just looking for just-in-case spares. What I really need is the UPS guy to show up with my pistons, rings, heads, head bolts and rod and main bearings!

 

good day, but long. to tired to post photos last night, will post them tonight.
as far as the weather, i overheard this from a fellow as he and his buddies walked by: "it's not cold enough, to be cold. it's not warm enough, to be warm......."

 

You need to post that on the Quotes Thread.

 

You young guys are wimps! I came home showered, had dinner, posted photos and then crashed and burned until this morning. Looking forward to see your photos. Unless you are still too tired.

 

Maybe so, but we TALKED about car parts, so, you can't be all THAT sick!

It was great seeing everybody. I'm going to try and make NED this weekend too.

I'm still in search of a 28/29 A cab, but I picked up some parts doors and a hood from my fellow HAMBers, and scored an early QC center that wes made in Springfield, MA out of an early Ford center section, the name slipped my mind, but I was just talking with Richie Willet about them not 5 minutes before I found this one hiding under a table. I was so jazzed about it that I forgot to take pictures!

 

That is Bob Hemsted from about 30 miles east of me just south of Albany N.Y.

I had a three and a half hour drive to @OLDTINPUSHER's. Then helped him unload and drove another 45 minutes to get home, but it is worth it!

I get more tired from driving then I ever do from work.

On a side note everyone on the Mass-Pike was F#ckin nuts!

 

haha, i got home, went for a ride in the convertible with my wife and stopped at a few antique shops [i guess i didn't see enough old stuff] then helped a couple friends assemble a new tool one of them bought, with the help of a pizza, beer, some cigars and a shot of scotch. hit the pillow at 10.....over slept didn't get up till 7 am.......

 

6:03 AM Sunday

6:11 AM Sunday

I'm from New York so I'm usually going to bed at 6:00 AM Did not sleep at all the night before (my back was in agony ) and I made it til 9:00 PM Sunday. Had my back brace on all day but still collapsed twice on the field (back spasms). Thanks to the woman who helped me up the first time. Don't worry, the second time I hit the runway so hard I bounced up to a kneeling position and just played it off as planned

Had a great time and put a lot of faces to H.A.M.B handles.

 

That's great, HaHaHa!!
A bad attitude keeps me going- 70 in August, and STILL looking for trouble! Talk about Desperados!
