local find

[joedoh]

answered an ad for some parts, debated on taking my 41 and should have. not more than 4 miles from my door, I pulled in and in the driveway were a 47 stude business couple and a 47 buick. the parts ended upnot being what I was looking for. he said yes to me walking around and taking pictures.

I know some guys will want to know where and how much but this guy is pretty savvy on values, he is nobodies fool. says he sells on ebay regularly. really liked the late 50s ford trucks and dodge dakotas, had about 6 of each. he just finished the buick and is doing the 41 ford coupe next, the only car I would have wanted except maybe one of the "a's". he had more a's in the shuttered garage too. elcectic collection, packards, lincolns, volvos, jeeps and willys and lots and lots of fords. he was in his 80s and still building.

cool...! the volvo and the austin must be rare birds out there..?

 

[joedoh]

there was a volvo club here running those sports in auto-x about 15 years ago, havent seen many since but for a while they were all over. the austin I think is rare anywhere haha.

 

[smallfoot]

That ol boy has plenty to do...probably keep him alive as long as anything!

 

[Bamamav]

I spy a couple of 42-48 Lincolns! The coupe is just like mine.

Haha I think you`re right... I remember a local guy sold one maybe 35yrs ago... we were watching them load it up when it fell into pieces
They ran it over with a tractor a few times and left it to sink into the ground...

 

[forbigpicture]

WOW !!!!! What a hoard and what a find.... hope they end up in good hands...
thanks for sharing....

I talked to him again today, he has some spare tire covers he wanted identifying. they were 1940 packard, his is a 39, so thats why they didnt fit.

DR its a 27 lincoln. the radiator is shuttered! meaning it opens and closes for airflow. definitely a lot of wacky stuff. he said the 41 deluxe was the next project, he oughta do well with it. I thought briefly about throwing my hat in the ring but I have too many irons in the fire.

WOW is right, really cool stuff. I could spend hours walking around there.

This one threw me. It's different with the leaned back windshield. Possibly one of the earliest done this way.

His kids will sell those off in a heartbeat!

Lots of good projects there... Its crazy there is still a lot out there... I too was intrigued with the car with the slanted front window

I went home a different way then normal last night, could see a 29 model a sport coupe sitting on top of a shipping container at a pick and pull place i have never been past before.

I know, its mind boggling that this was four miles from my house. i didnt have to drive hours, just barely a 10 minute drive, even on the same end of town.

the old Volvo I think is my favorite...

Thanks for sharing....
