This is the only place that makes me feel like "a snot nose kid" at 77.

Remember when Mother would say act your age. No one says that to me anymore. A young 81 but 82 coming fast Feb. At least we enjoy life. The Ford Barn is great for all us.

Even tho I don't consider myself to be old, I seem to surround myself with old things, a '36 Ford, '37 GMC, '38 Girl Friend, and a '38 Buick. I do have a few newer play things, a '53 Olds and a '64 Chevy C-10.

Soon to be 76, but yesterday I got an early BD gift as my 37 pickup I've had since high school was published in the February issue of Hot Rod Magazine! My birthday is also in February. Oh so much work to do to get her on the road again.

What happened to the 39 Plymouth convertible? That was a beauty.

Happy Birthday!


I had asked "coup34" for a picture or two of this '34 5-window coupe that he has owned for 71 YEARS. Here's what he sent me. His dad had bought the car for his older brother returning from WWII. In 1946 or '47, brother bought a '40 Ford. Dad got the '34 back, but younger brother talked him out of it in 1950. That '34 is gorgeous, and will hopefully never be restore from the way she is right here. DD
