Re: Pets and Flatheads
Here's my dog, Kitty. Gone but not forgotten. He gave a whole new meaning to the term, "Running with the big dogs!" when behind the wheel of the three window! He enjoyed helping in the shop, too. I still miss him.

In 1975, I drove my 1935 Cabriolet from Spencer, West Virginia to Washington, D.C. to the National V8 Club Meet, with my wife and two boys. For, at least, 95% of the trip, one boy was laying down in the package shelf. We went the scenic route, through the mountains, stopping at a few small town, "Mon & Pop" Ford dealers and found a good bit of NOS parts. As you say, "Those were the days". MIKE |

It is not all dogs. My best friend, my late cat, HONEY, was always with me, when I was tinkering with my cars. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of her, sleeping in one. I miss her so much ! MIKE |

Re: Pets and Flatheads
Copied from an earlier story I wrote some months back.
Winnie the blue dog crashes vintage car. Well I was both proud and pleased with my restored 28 A model. It had been advertised in the Melbourne newspaper by a local farmer in our area. Had been a paddock basher until it wasn’t even any good for that. 2K was the asking price and whilst I couldn’t immediately put my hands on that money the farmer agreed he would keep it for me until I could come up with the money. There had been numerous enquiries from Melbourne which was 200 miles south. I had it well restored costing twice it’s market value but I was pleased. I had a dog, a blue healer cattle dog by the name of Winnie. Winnie had been my daughters dog. Given to her as a puppy which outgrew its cuteness when it grew into a proper size hound. It was left with us, her parents, on a temporary permanent basis. I have heard many stories about parents inheriting dogs from their kids. It’s our policy not to have dogs in the house or car. One exception is the Model A. Winnie would sit on the floor only and never miss an opportunity of going where ever it took her. One this particular day, with the car running and parked in our yard, with the drivers door open (it’s always been my policy to close car doors) Winnie was not going to miss this ride. Up she jumped and squeezed between the seat and the gearstick. The gear stick was pushed forward and almost without a crunch was in reverse. I saw this. The staff car chugging backwards and approaching a 3000 gallon fuel tank. Well the expected occurred. Crunch. I hadn’t made it back to the vehicle in time and here was the staff car held stationary with wheels rotating in the dirt. I climbed in. Winnie gave one of those dog smiles to display her pleasure. I gave her apat. How could I be pissed with something she did not intend and had no idea of my panic and 7 second 100 yard dash. Fortunately damage was minimal and the rear bumper bar had saved the day. She continued her chauffer driven rides and we still loved her.
