Hot Rods New England Hot Rods

I was up in Newport RI this week and went to the Audrain Automotive Museum that featured the "New England Hot Rods" from 1945 to 1965. About a dozen or so iconic car's including my buddy Fred Steele's '32 and '29 Model A Sedan. Fred must be flipping over in his grave!

 

Good for you, Fred Steele's roadster is one of my favorites.

 

Woodiewagon46 I was 12 when Fred pulled into the Citgo station at the Depot in Littleton Ma. in his purple roadster for some gas. I used to hang there and pump gas for the old guy who owned it. I about wet my pants! I was already into hot rods but that cemented it for me! He came in again some time later driving a white T bucket as well. Fred had some cool cars.

 

Fred was also known to be a practical joker, and very irreverent, too.

 

You know what they say about pictures and things happening.

 

Kiwi, are you talking about the duck episode in Sturbridge??

 

Or it could be the penis hat at the Greatwoods swap meet. He lived around the corner from me. Had a lot of laughs. Snowman
