    I'm in Connecticut and a tile is the LAST thing anyone cares about. Bob

    I'm originally from Fairfield, Ct. The fact that it's in Conn. makes this find even more incredible. You would expect to find this on a farm in the middle of no where. Folks from other parts of the country can't really appreciate how picked over and combed through the Northeast is, and with the climate, it's a miracle they're not rotted away.
    Fantastic find, congrats. Now let's see more pics ! I think they're pretty fussy about titles up there.
    Good luck, but you don't need it, one lucky guy, enjoy.

    Amazing. I am wondering just how long that engine has been hanging there in the first pic. I would try to get the chainfall with it just so I didn't have to be the one to break up the band!

    You got your work cut out for you now! Buying it is the easy part. Moving, sorting and selling is where you put in the hours.

    Having bought similar hoards before, I must say I am jealous of the proximity to you!

    Alright Guys, here's a brief update for you. I was at the property all day yesterday. I was able to dig out both the 29 Cabriolet & the Pickup. Both of the cars had license plates from 1961. My bet is that have been sitting there since then. I'm planning to be there all day tomorrow to continue the project. There is still a ton of parts in the barn!! I will continue to post pictures for your enjoyment.

    Someone has spent a little time on the pick up. Looks to have hydraulic brakes. How's the wood in the cab??? That's the biggest problem with them like Vickies. All wood substructure. The Cab is a 29.

    No, it is a '29, they used the same cowl and hood with the belt line bead as the Fordor. That cowl is a one piece stamping and the stock 28-29 tank mounts under it. :) Bob
