Re: Bruce Lancaster
He has a couple of cars in a garage but nothing running. One is the '48 Ford that his parents brought him home from the hospital in China weeks before the Communist overran the area. Parts, on the other hand, are much more than plentiful as are books, etc.

Re: Bruce Lancaster
The truly sad part is besides being a wealth of flathead knowledge, Bruce Lancaster was truly a good man.

Re: Bruce Lancaster
What a great dude. He and I were pondering combustion chamber designs . . . and he said "I'll send you a book" . . . and sure as heck, it arrived at my door. He was a guy that knew so much, but SHARED so much. He was like the greatest college professor you ever had -- had a lot of knowledge, but was still willing to debate, learn and change his perspective. I'll miss yah Bruce . . . and we'll drive HotRods in Heaven some day!

Re: Bruce Lancaster
I am as devastated as all of you.Spoke with him extensively in the last year as he bought some French Flathead engine parts from me.He had spent time in France and knew quite a bit about these engines as well as the very low production examples.Now I wish I had written the details out as he asked me to let him know if I ran across the rare ones.I so enjoyed talking with him.He did mention to me that he had a ' 32 coupe.
Adieu Bruce. |

Re: Bruce Lancaster
It's funny how we get to know someone on the Barn without meeting them in person. All the great things said here about Bruce are true and correct. My prayers for Bruce, his family, and friends, Craig.

Re: Bruce Lancaster
R.I.P. Bruce, and God speed. We will surely be missed on here. He was an encyclopedia of flathead knowledge.

Re: Bruce Lancaster
Thanks Pete for sharing a photo of Bruce. Years ago when I joined the Barn and was a flathead newbie Bruce steered me in the right direction with some good advice. I never met him personally but often thought what a great resource of freely given wisdom he was. My condolences to his family and to the hobby which benefitted from his presence.

Re: Bruce Lancaster
Well spoken HRP.
Bruce Lancaster is a legend and should be on the Fordbarn and HAMB wall of fame. A very special "giving" person. |
