I saw your car and even took a picture or two. I should have said hello. Neat car.

There were some other cool cars there, too. I like the originals, so those were my favorite. There was an interesting 1919 Franklin there, too.

Seeing those pictures makes me miss summer. At this stage have forgotten what it is like going outside without coat/gloves/hat. Also not having to listen to my furnace running constantly. :-(

I saw that Franklin. Didn’t get a chance to really look it over but it was definitely neat.

Forgot to add - I like your car too, has "patina". The kids are adorable, and it looks like in the 1st picture Minnie/girl are supervising you and making sure you are doing things correctly Definitely building family memories.

Nice looking Tudor and family.
Good to see you're still using the powerhouse generator also.
Wish my 29 Tudor looked that good.

I just opened this thread twice, the second to show my wife those pictures of the kids enjoying the day and the car. Thanks for posting. Those photos made me feel good.

Around 30 years ago we would load our 30 Tudor with neighborhood kids and go joyriding around town blowing the aaaoogah horn, wolf whistle and aermore horn. Kids loved it ... there's some good memories from that time.

The kids had a blast all day and we are hoping to have lots of more memories with this car in our family!

Yes Tom I will be using that generator as long as it will let me. I have not had a problem with the cut out either. It looks to be fairly old and I am hoping to not have to replace it.

This roadster had a Miller OHV banger in it.
Very nice car!

Thank you! We had a lot of fun. The kids loved bouncing around through the field for a bit before we went in to the show.

Smooth One,

I like the Roadster with the Miller OHV head. The Stanchions, Oval Speedometer and solid Spreader Bar make it look like a '29 or early '30. Did you find out what year it was?

I have a '29 Roadster with the straight Stanchions. I also have an early '30 Roadster with the Oval Speedometer but it has the Folding Stanchions. I'd like to do something similar with my '30 Roadster.
