It's good to hear from you. So what did you trade and what do you have left?

I sold my '47 Ford Convertible, '49 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Convertible, '51 Ford F1, '53 Ford F-100 Panel Delivery, '55 Studebaker President Speedster, '66 Lincoln Continental Convertible and the '08 Porsche Cayman. I still have the '39 Ford Convertible Sedan, '39 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Club Coupe, '53 Ford Crestline Sunliner, '63 Studebaker Avanti R1 and the '68 Jaguar XKE Roadster. I've also added two '52 Ford 8N's and a '40 Lincoln Zephyr Continental Cabriolet.

Yeah, I've been busy downsizing the house and cars. Also been working on the Cigar City Concours d'Elegance and my other business. Never a dull moment. Hope you guys are doing well and stayin' warm.

Oh wow - I know how much time and effort you put into it - the special flooring and so many other things, the sacrifices, but I understand that time marches on and you have to do what you have to do. I look forward to catching up with you next time I am down your way …..

Happy Easter to all. I haven't been on the FordBarn for some time, so I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Apologies to Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. I've been upping my game Flathead wise so to speak, now I've got two HV-12's, both 292 cu. in. '40 vintage, one in the '39 Lincoln Zephyr Convertible Club Coupe and the other in my recently acquired '40 Lincoln Zephyr Continental Cabriolet.

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. things are movin' albeit a bit slower than usual these days. All the guys from the Cigar City Flatheads are doing well but we haven't done much as a group for a while, looking to get the band back together, so to speak, this Fall and start doin' some cruisin'.

Just checkin' in to see how all the Florida based Barner's did in the storm. We recently moved from Odessa to New Port Richey (downsizing) about 40 miles north of Tampa Bay and fortunately did not have any damage from the storm. Hope everyone else is ok.

I am remembering the trip the Cigar City Flatheads took to Punta Gorda to visit GM and tour his collection of flatheads. I sure hope he and his Flatheads did not get hit too hard. How are you doing George?

I texted Skip but have not had a reply as yet. Don't know if George Mitchell was in Florida or up north when the storm hit.

Hi there! All good here and thank you for asking. Lost 2 tree limbs and a screen section on my pool cage. The screen was needing replacement anyhow and Ian gave it a head start. Best, Steve
