So we try to hit every tour, every year, and have very fortunate so far. This averages out to 1500 to 1700 miles per year, this year was down a bit @ 1436 miles.

Try and drive all you can!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas fellow Forder's!

Be well -

Chris

Do you remember what that was on the front tire?

Keith -

Unfortunately the line in the photo is from the damaged print (taken by Dad's Kodak box camera.) That photo shows the car with its original Firestone tires - circa 1958.
I would say that Dad got his moneys worth for $85.00 he drove home an original owner 1930 Deluxe Coupe built without cowl lites - yet sporting 47k original miles..........!

A friend said I should have the picture restored - what do you think?

Thanks for looking -

OAKLAND CA. .The car was built at SFA - San Francisco Ca, and shipped all the way across the bay to Oakland. Sold new 10/11/30.

Thanks for sharing - And a wish for you and your family for a very Merry Christmas and an even Happier New Year!

Yours is a true "California" car.
Our '57 Chevy was built in Oct of '56 in Oakland and stayed with us in Sacramento until '98 when we left, for saner grounds.

Very cool -

I will try to stir up a shot of my '57 Bel Air from "back in the day"! Turquoise with white top - in 1977 we called her "Golden Years" - still holds true in opinion.

You folks anywhere near my good friends family in Chelsea OK?

Chelsea OK is about 150 miles North East of us, a very nice small town
