Fords and flood
The town I live in, Walla Walla, WA had a big flood in 1931. I have gone through a web site and taken some of the photos of cars in the flood. Here are some of those photos. The web site is hosted by a local historian named Joe Drazan and that web site is:
http://wallawalladrazanphotos.blogspot.com/ Not all cars are Fords, of course, but they seem to be pretty popular back then. Some image links posted directly.    <Edit> PS: This link might also prove interesting. Scroll down past the introductory photo: http://wallawalladrazanphotos.blogsp...s-whitman.html -Bill Last edited by Magicbox51; 08-26-2017 at 11:58 PM. |

Re: Fords and flood
I wonder what the guy with the '29 coupe was trying to work on, ankle deep in rushing water.

Re: Fords and flood
Yes we had streets around here in the day that were the same level as dry run creeks. Lots of fun to have Grandpa drive through the water to get home. Nice pics.

Re: Fords and flood
If you like to watch Model A's and other vintage cars going swimming, go to You Tube and type in the search Irishmans Rally. Enjoy. Happy motoring.
