A bit off the HHR topic...
But thought I'd share some photos of some old classics I came across while out having lunch with the wife this weekend. Enjoy...

 

THANKS FOR SHARING.!, those are great!!

 

Thanks, this brings back memories. When I was in high school my best friend's father restored a 1931 Model A (after he sold his 1936 Ford Phaeton). It was fun to watch the project progress. And of course from time to time our help was necessary. I spent hours and hours over there almost every day (what a way to stay out of trouble). I only regret that he sold it before my friend and I could drive.

His next project was a 1956 T-bird. I did get to drive that one. I was only kidding when I asked to drive it but he tossed me the keys anyhow. What a thrill for a 17 yr old (especially when he said he didn't need to come along for the ride with me).

 

Thanks for the memories!

In 1959 my older brother drove home a 1929 Model A coupe. He paid $125.00 for the car. It ran like a top.

I was just 16 and had my driver's license. He let me drive it all the time. I loved driving that old car. The girls loved riding in the trunk rumble seat and I had a lot of fun. Those were the proverbial "good ole days".

In 1948 I was 17 and paid cash for a 1932 Ford 3 window with a rumble seat had 4000 miles and paid $300.00

 

Amazing Jay!

Amazing how times have changed.

That 3-window is one of the most popular pre-war Fords.

WOW!

What a line-up of cool old cars, never have been a Ford fan, but I do have a soft spot for Model A's.

Of course, back "in the day", the price of that '33 Cadillac would have bought a small herd of Model A's or Chevrolet's.

 

WOW! What a lineup! I have never seen that many pre-war cars in one place at one time.

I was 14 in 1960 and there was a completely restored '32 Chevy coupe for sale at a local gas station for $350. I wanted that thing so bad but my dad wouldn't budge. Funny, the things you remember.

 

Nice crowd of Fords, or is that murder of Fords, maybe flock of Fords, LOL anyway, very cool and thanks for sharing
