The Ford Barn

A very dear friend of mine passed away today from complications of COVID. He was an avid 33-34 Ford enthusiast, having being driven around in them since childhood, racing them in his high school days, and admiring them his entire life.

His passion for the hobby was worn on his sleeve, and the smile that the gracious curved lines of the greatest car ever made could bring.

I miss him so much already, a kind hearted, hard nosed Texan that taught me so much about life and about our beloved 33-34 Fords.

So, please get out there in your Early Ford today in his honor. Get that mechanical fuel pump pumping, get those 17” rims a-spinning, slam on those mechanical brakes, bang on those dual horns till the cows come home. He will hear us, thank you

I can't drive a 33 or 34 BUT I will drive my 39 Merc in his honor!!! It needs some exercise anyway!!! By the way you should see a check from me any day now!!!

Will do, I only have 1 horn (std 33 phaeton). The hell of it is, someone that won't wear a mask probably gave it to him. VERY sorry to hear this. 5 people I knew have gone the same way. I hope everyone stays safe.

My 34 is not drivable yet but I will think of your friend and how fortunate I am to be able to work on it today.
