Re: pics of early fords at historic or unique places

I don't know how historic the Davy Crockett State Park is, but I had to take a picture of my roadster there last Fall.

Re: My Early Ford Store Adventure

My wife and I toured the EFS on Friday. I couldn't carry on a coherent conversation for the rest of the day. My wife walked out and went antiquing in the village and I didn't even know she was gone!...

Re: An Early Ford Truck Post... Let's see them.

It was so long ago, it seems like it was a dream. However, with my current ride, I'm living a dream that was smoldering in me for many years. Life is good.

Re: An Early Ford Truck Post... Let's see them.

This is a picture of my high school hot rod from 1962. The shiny picture is how it looks today. The sad part for me is, I haven't owned it since 1973.

Joe,
I'll be at the Fairplex all day today, too. Hope to see you there. Then I'm going back to Fountain hills thru early March. Have to wait for some of the snow to melt back home.

let's give Ol' Ron a "get well soon."

I ran into George from VT today, at the Grand National Roadster Show, in LA. He told me Ron is under the weather with a couple of problems. One is a hernia surgury.

Get well soon, Ron!!!

Broke down on the Jersey Pike at the Hightstown exit. Managed to drive to a AAA recommended repair shop, using the manual trailer brake controller.
