Hot Rods Oakland 1927

hi! Just wanted to share a couple pictures on the road with my friend's 1927 Oakland, i hope you enjoy it!

 

Growing up on a farm in the '40s - '50s, we had a hay wagon (the farmers still called them Hoover Wagons) built on a '26. The body was in the corner of the haystack yard, used to store the slings for the derrick. When I was about 9, I decided I'd re-unite the body with the frame. Every time I moved a body part, it collapsed a little deeper into the dirt. I think the hubcaps are still around here somewere ...

 

where's the rest of it?

 

That there is a speedster, and I dig it.

Here's a little something from the weird collection I keep on my desk:

 

Thats cool, i dig too this speedsters my friend has four of them but this is my favorite

 

Who knows!

 

i wish i can find one to make a curious old speedster!

 

I can here YAHOO!!! echoing though the valley...that must be a heck of a lot of fun.

​

 

This is great to see, cars like this are the earliest roots of hot rodding, probably before the term was ever coined. It's also a way into the hobby that isn't too terribly expensive and doesn't require massive amounts of bodywork. I like it a lot.

 

Yeah it has been very low budget i think, just cutting and welding and limited using other same era car parts, but it is really fun drive
