i found mine around the corner from my house . the guy had wanted to make it a hot rod . took most of the engine a part . put most of the part plus some other stuff not from the car inside the car. it sat in his drive way 7 years . slept slowly and waiting longing for rebirth . it was found by me and my wife and brought home in 2005! took most of 2005 to figure out what was from the car and what was not . mothers day 2005 it made it first noise in 18 years. i found I'm only the third owner. she now belongs to me and drives very nice !

i picked the car up for 1,500.....saved from the great junk yard in the sky. another flat head v8 lives to see the light of a new dawn!!!

Kens 34 PU · 11-03-2011, 05:09 PM

Dad bought the '34 PU in '54. I was 2 months old. You could say we grew up together. Of course, the truck is in better shape than me!

I've had the 47 Mercury sedan since 1967. I was in High School. I put a lot of miles on that car. Havn't driven it for quite a few years but still have it tucked away....

...I'ved owned my 47 Ford pickup since 1979. Had it on the road in 1984. Took out a deer in 2006. Fixed and still on the road today. I've put over 150,000 miles on it. No end in sight......

Wow! What great stories and pictures! It is hard to believe this many people kept their cars and trucks for so long. I admire each and every one of you! Through good times and hard times you have kept your cars and trucks. This is more than a hobby, its more like having an old friend around...
