somebody asked for Packards???? mmmmm,here a rare1 of 750 produced 53 Caribbean cab in show conds... too bad i took these pix in a garage without much light....car is flawless anyway.... has been sold but still in town.....
ok,something unusual...a 34 chrysler racer,restored.....fully running and a racy camino 59 with some serious hp... last year show....
ok,get this....to save this one took me a ful day and night to thow all the trash off the car,and around too... the previous owner lives literally in a garbage yard,and from 2 meters away i could not see the 51 merc....unreal!!! so,that was really a mess to clean... also a fu###in black scorpion bite in my hand at 2 oclock in the mornig,was hurtin a lot....but luckily no major consequences... but the baby wnt out finally... do you guys believe there just parked besides the merc a 57 chevy 2D-HT????swear to god,is sittin just besides but you could'nt see it from a meter away....i could see it either from there,what a mess but besides all work,the mers was really solid,neede only some patching on floors....another one on the road already....
GOTCHA....finally.still remember was smellin like SHIT for couple of days after the merc experience... also almost needed to some shots to prevent exotic diseseas too... but hey,there is a price to pay for a kustom car....
zumo, plenty of old trucks around..especially in the countryside where they use them seriously for loadin stuff... it's funny i have almost no pix of old trucks,not a big fan myself.... but easy to get,such as early 50's fords and chevys.... best way is to get lost in the countryside and get them around..watch out the bullets too
How do you go about buying all this stuff,do you have to be " in the know " or what? how do people react when you ask about it?
these are common cars here..46 to 48 fords coupes....lots of them around...from rusty to very good conds.... it was a popular car back in the day,and they're still around...
