Default Anyone heard from Ken Parker??

I sent him a private message and an email, no reply. He has not been on the forum since September 2021.

Al, Ken Parker is still here. He reads FB almost every day, but is just getting to old and cantankerous to want to post. I have quit working on F150's completely, but still tinker with Model A's and especially Model A engines.
...and a genuine "howdy" fron Texas.

The tag on the front of Ken's Woodie says it all!

Hey Ken, glad to hear you are still kicking. Remember the blue speedster??
I still have it and it is running fine. All the grandkids wanted it until I built the wood speedster. Now they want that one. It has an all wood Cedar body, has a rumble seat, "B" engine full pressure with Miller overhead, dual stromberg downdrafts, straight exhaust, adjustable drivers seat, 12 sided wood steering wheel and wood dash. Six grandkids and only two speedsters - problem looming!

Yes, Dknapp. I remember the little blue speedster. Got lonesome for her and started building another one. Very similiar design, but a tiny bit more engine. The new one is still under construction.


Glad the grandchildren are having a good time with her.
