Old car nostalgia ??

[coobie]

Yeah, I got a few but I don't think folks want the thread cluttered up with pictures. Besides, I can't figure out how to load more than one at a time. :ashamed:

Everyone on this site loves pictures, The more pictures, the better. Absolutely beautiful job you did on those vehicles.
I had never heard of the 51 Chrysler K-310. Beautiful style for way back then.
Was it a pro-type that Chrysler had at one time ?
What is your draw to that particular vehicle ?

Yeah, it was considered a prototype in that none, that I know of, were sold. However, there was more than one made. There are a few original examples still around in collections. I ran across some documentation years ago on the K-310 while looking for info on the 51 Imperial. From the first time I saw the K-310 I couldn't imagine restoring the butt-ugly Imperial. The two are night and day in styling. It says a lot about Ghia in 1951. It's a shame he wasted his talents on a VW.

Speaking of Olds, I traded my 72 Vett in on a new 76 Cutlass Supreme when I got married. The soft cloth seats were very plush on that model too.

This 1925 "T" was at a tractor show next to me this weekend:

193? Hupmobile was at a tractor show last weekend:

I did a '26 Tudor Model T for a guy a few years ago. Can't find the finished pictures. They might be on a DVD somewhere. Here's a shot of it while I was just starting reassembly. Sorry I don't have more of it at the moment. This car had been rolled and the rear axle had slammed the bottom of the quarter panels hard enough to V-notch and bow the quarters out. It was really out of square too.

This 90 Mustang was spun between guard rails on a wet Interstate then stuck a post just behind the driver door. The post drove almost to the drive shaft hump. There wasn't a straight panel on it. I know the guy who's sister owned it. She walked away from it but never wanted to drive the car again.



This 87 Vette was hit in the rear end then smacked the car in front of it. I was still waiting for the luggage rack and laker pipes to be supplied by the owner when this shot was taken.



This is just a run of the mill 74 El Camino SS.

Always wanted an old jeep. Finally have it. Now I want another old vehicle

As far as the 90 Mustang is concerned. I maintain that some understanding of basic physics should be a requirement to getting a drivers license. I read a book, I came accross in the library in the 80s. Driving at the limits of adhesion. Or something very close. Writen mostly for emergency vehicle drivers. I have never forgot those rules, and wish everybody understood them.

Reminds me of a cousin who got a new Mustang the first year they were sold (1964?). He had Michelin tires put on it; said they were supposed to be the best traction of any tire (those new-fangled - at that time - radial tires). So he showed me, on a curve, and spun out. Fortunately, we didn't hit anything or do any damage.:laughing:

CCWKEN, I think the yellow chevy is a 70 not a 74. I recognize that front grill anywhere as I had 2 70 chevelles.
