Petit Jean show & swapmeet

[morjeep]

It was a pretty good turnout. Lots of good projects and parts in the swap meet. Was able to get a few parts for my ride. The show end was for the high end cars mostly I took pics of the different and odd. Some of the pics I took were of cars I thought were sharp. I've never heard of Whippel. The Scout was not something you see a lot of. Hope you enjoy

Here are a few more pics of cars I liked

Still a few more. The pics at the end are the kind of stuff you find on sale. They do this every father day weekend. Each year I find a few parts for my car. There are boxes and tables of stuff to find. The hunt is on and sometime the people don't know what they have. They cleaned out some building of some kind. Trim, head lights, tail lights, mirrors,handles you get the picture.

Thanks for posting these pics. I love looking through boxes at swap meets and you're right about them not knowing what they have sometimes!

It appears to be a Ruxton.

I've never heard of Whippel.

It is a whippet. That is a car built by Willys (the jeep people). Those grills look great on hot rods.

The headlights are made by "Woodlight". Rare and expensive. The car is an L-29 Cord, made from 29 to 32.

Were those the stock lights? Cord always seemed to do things different.

I decided at one point (I was probably high at the time...) that if Death owned a car, it would be a Cord. That thing looks cold. I don't think I've ever seen one.
