Great pics, thanks for sharing to those of us "less fortunate" ones.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

No Vic, I was mesmerized looking at so many nice cars,cannot remember the names,cars from every corner of the country,people from all over the globe,my camera is limited as to how many shots it can store,there were about a dozen or more Zephyrs

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Awesome pictures! Wish I could've attended Tahoe.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Dave, thanks for posting all the photos. I'm almost sure that the '39 LZ Convertible Club Coupe belongs to Jerry. There are only 17 '39 LZ Convertible Club Coups know to still exist (638 were built) and I'm lucky enough to own one. I'm in the process of restoring our LZ and I've used photos, etc. of Jerry's car to assist in the restoration project.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe

Zach

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Zach, I took a couple pictures of that '39 sedan delivery. Will go back to the show field this morning and see if it is still parked there. Will try to get more pics and some contact info on the owner. There were some nice period correct hot rods in the display class and some in Touring A Class. I can't post pictures here until I get back home first week of July.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Thank you very much, John....
No rush on my behalf....

Have fun out there!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

great pictures..thanks for posting, Dave.....Mike

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Zach, we stopped at McD's in Tahoe for breakfast and got into a conversation with a guy there who we knew was in V8 Club and by some miracle this was the owner of the '39 SD. We got his name and phone number for you. He will let me take as many pictures as I want.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Wow, thank you John!
I've search for some photos of a restored one... but few and far between it seems... only street rods....

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

heck, Zack, give John a list of things you need photographed....as long as he's willing, etc....lol.....does he have a throw or towel so he can crawl underneath to take pics?....good luck, John...lol....Mike

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

I also visited with the 39 Sedan Delivery owner awhile and he was real easy to talk to,nice guy.He has a rear view camera installed with the lens just above the rear door

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Thanks for posting - nice shots.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Yes Vic, it belong to Jerry Emery...............

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Thanks Daryl, I thought it was Jerry's.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

I ran into a bunch of people from fallbrook C.A. at the wawona hotel in Yosemite. I was there in a stupid lexus and was very jealous. But as i sat out side with my 3 month old daughter they gave a parade around the hotel so that was pretty cool.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Very nice!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Lookin' good John!!!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Vic, I am totally amazed at how well my '35 has done on this tour. Over 6k miles now. Will be 7k+ by the time I get home. Has been an awesome trip!! We are having dinner at an Italian restaurant in Mackinaw City, Mich. as I type this :)

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Thanks for the photos. Working at the meet did not allow a lot of time to look at the cars so these photos and video were appreciated. It was fun riding in John's car at 8000 feet!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Hey TJ, I'm glad you enjoyed.

I actually got a lot of nice videos from the Grand Tour and climbing those three mountains. I'm trying to upload a video of JM35 crossing the Kingsbury Grade between Genoa and Tahoe. It's 11 minutes long just crosing the peak and coming down into Tahoe. Will update when it's posted.

I really wanted to write back to say that you did a good thing by volunteering to help at the meet. Every volunteer I saw, and I saw quite a few, was working hard all week. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your efforts to make a welcoming event for all us V8'ers! A thousand thanks would not be enough.

I'll get a first-hand taste as a Volunteer next June when our RG, #36, National Capitol Region, will host the Eastern National Meet in Gettysburg.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

We did have a great time working at the meet and we were able to make the grand tour. We're glad everyone had such a good time. It took a lot of volunteers , but everyone pitched in and that's what made it fun.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Hi Everyone, Here's the link to our ride over the Kingston Grade (JM35 at the wheel, and me trying to hold on, film, navigate, and narrate). Sorry but I didn't edit anything so if we look like goofballs, well, that's what we are!

Thanks for taking the time to share the beautiful cars and scenery with us. I spent a long time enjoying your photography.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Thanks 40cpe.

I should warn folks that there are definitely some poor photos in the Photobucket collection. I think I got shots of about 75% of the cars, some cars I got numerous times.

I'm working on posting more videos. Here's one of some of the Rouge class cars. It's about eleven minutes long. Mute the sound for most of the video, except when someone is speaking to the camera. The water truck's pump was making a terrible noise. Those guys weren't too happy with JM using up some of 'their' grass!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Jeff thanks for that video, its weird seeing yourself on a video!

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Good job on the video's Jeff. That '36 3w coupe was one of my favorites in the Rouge class cars. I really didn't get to see that much of the show field because we spent so much time judging cars.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Great photos. Thanks

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

It sounds like JM is still running the straight pipe. I can hear it pop in the video.

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Yep, still have a straight pipe that pops when I let off the gas, and the V-8 Club judges don't like it....but I do :D

Re: V8 Grand National Concours South Lake Tahoe
 

Hi Everyone.

JM, Where are you??

Brendan, It was a joy to get a few of your words on video. I felt like a dipwad later cuz I dissed you so badly, I just walked off after talking to you! Uncool.

41Ford1, YOU KNOW that car still has straight pipes and always will. I love following him on the highway! Heck I love driving any flattie (present company gratefully excepted).

ronford you are nice to encourage me.

I will try to get up another video or two tomorrow.

The '36 3w that JM mentioned was a highlight for me also. Including shots of the trunk here. JM led me to understand these wooden pieces are important to '36 3w restorers. This was an impossibly original '36 Ford, much less a 3w Coupe. Very hard to tell it was not repainted that's how nice the paint was. Never seen such fresh stuff on the east coast, fer sure.
