I was seen Driving around the Streets of Punta Gorda since middle of November, and have an Invitation to Show My Huckster Van their.

It will be an Honor and Highlight of my life, to Partake in tribute to the legacy of Henry Ford. I never thought when I assembled the Chassis and Restored it, and Built the Body, that I would be showing it on Hallowed Ground, where its Maker once Walked. I will Post Photos Sun. of Featured cars their.

Had a good time at the Show today, here are a few Photos of the show. One of the Photos is of Thomas Edison, Clara and Henry Ford, with Me and my Huckster Van in the background.

As you can see Henry did an Inspection of My Van, and in one Photo layed his finger on my Blown Glass Turtle, that resides in the Sediment Bowl. He then Hollered Infringement, but later we talked it out, he said his Lawyers would contact Me and I would receive Royalties when he Patented the Turtle.

Later I will add Photos of a couple of Ford Barners Cars that I met at the show.

Mike I stole the close up the Turtle that you took, I hope you don't mind?

Jassjr:

Thank you for you post and great photos. Truth be known your Model A was worthy of Best in Show. The craftmanship of the wood body was exceptional. It was great to meet you.

Most of my photo files are too big to post .... will have to wait till we get back to Jupiter.

Jazzjr · 02-02-2013, 10:10 PM

Hi Mike, Thanks for your Kind words. My Wife got overwhelmed taking Photos, (Model A's comming from every direction she said), here is a Close up of Your Great looking Model A Fordor.
I very much enjoyed talking with you today, hope we meet again some day.
Best to You and Yours.

Thanks for the Close up of the Turtle....

If any of you forum friends who have never visited the Edison/Ford Winter homes and museum, your owe it to yourselves to make plans for a visit. Ibelieve there is a website for the museum.

Jazzjr, he's your turtle. Walking by your car, I looked at the engine and something caught my eye. On closer inspection, in your sediment bowl, there was a turtle; now that was a suprise. All I ever get is rust.....
