The Ford Barn

Let's see those pictures of your early fords out front off some neat historic places or landmarks! I bet some of you Barner's overseas have some cool shots to share!

Here's a photo of our '39 CS in front of Martha Berry's house, on the grounds of Berry College in Rome, Ga. Martha Berry founded the College, she was a good friend of Henry Ford, he had a number of buildings on the campus built and also provided Ford tractors and cars for the schools use.

Oooops. Yes I'd agree it's a B25 Mitchell. Beautiful car, great pics!

fordy46 · 02-09-2011, 11:19 PM

Your right its a B25. Its homebase is in Mich., they tour with it in the summer months. I saw it at the small Kent State airport in Ohio last Sept.

Heres one in front of Oregons oldest speed shop. I had to go see it after reading about it in Hot Rod (Jan 09). What a great story and great guy to talk with. Been there since he opened it in 1950. Still working there today!

Heres another one parked next to one of the Blue Angels.

Just one of many neat places along Rt 66!

Old Redneck · 02-15-2011, 10:05 AM

Does that make you homesick Cecil?

av8paul · 02-15-2011, 10:33 AM

I don't know how historic the Davy Crockett State Park is, but I had to take a picture of my roadster there last Fall.
The picture in front of "Wendover Will" was taken during Speed Week in 2006. Later that day, after a few adult beverages, I was convinced my roadster needed to have a number painted on the door. But that's another story.......best left untold.

jdl · 02-15-2011, 10:38 AM

The Snow Cap Seligman Az... on old RT 66 here's a link about this..

This is outside Umberslade Hall. It's a 17th century mansion near where I live.

Joe AZ · 02-15-2011, 05:16 PM

Gavin,
Is this the Umberslade Hall where Triumph and BSA had a "think tank" in the '60's & "70"s?

Hey Joe
Thank you so much, just spent some time doing some research and it turns out that it was indeed used as a R+D facility by Triumph and BSA! I had no idea!

What a cool piece of history.

This is my 1935 Cabriolet at the Drive In Church lot in Daytona Beach, Florida. It was formely a Drive In Theater, until the church bought it. The Drive In Church has been on the national news, several times.
The cabriolet is dressed as the winner of the 1936 Beach Race.

Asked a friend to snap a pic of the Grey Coupe next to this well-patina'd southwestern style service station that we spotted on the way to the Western meet in St. George, Utah last October.

The stock '36 ran like a champ over 1600 miles and three 10,000' mountain passes, through rain, sleet and snow. Hell of a fun trip!
