Wed. Night on the River

[Blue Eyed Devil]

That's great you could get out there Bob, and I am sure the results were well worth it. It's also great you got to spend some time with your Mom this way. Mine always enjoyed my cars and talking about the old days too. I sure do miss it. Priceless times.

You are an inspiration to all of us here Bob. Thanks for continuing this thread.

Withrow Car & Tractor Show

In the tiny town of Withrow there is a bar/restaruant and a ballroom and really nothing else. Except for today when around 500 cars and 50 vintage tractors were on display. There was a large variety of machinery such as this dirt modified, and an alcohol funny car that fired up for the crowd

I like vintage dirt cars.

A Mopar truck that is about as far from a rat as you can get.

A big rat motor...

In a big old Buick.

My friend Tom's GMC on a C 10 frame.

Henry J built by RRR members Terry and Lee.

A More Door Dodge can make a nice rod.

Needs a push bumper.

The star of the show for me was this 1915 tractor. About a one foot bore and a one foot stroke. Runs at 400 rpm. It sat in a woods from the late 1920's til the 1980's. Fortunately it was not scavenged. The owner repaired it rather than restoring it which appeals to me. He fired it up and it was a pleasure to see an almost 100 year old machine run.

Nice additions Bob W. That tractor is something else.

 

[Tim...Ok]

Thanks for sharing the pics..I too like the tractor alot..A friend of mine on another forum is restoring one of the IHC Titans..Quite the undertaking,as almost nothing is available reproduction for them..Everything has to be scrounged or built from scratch.. I enjoying dinking with the old tractors, but none that old..mostly 30's thru the 50's for me..

Tonight at Gruber's


Some people leave Gruber's Thursday night picnic in a cloud of smoke.

 

[earthman]

............ummmm, are there more pix?

 

[bob w]

I didn't have my camera ready when the turbo Cutlass disappeared in volumes of tire smoke. Sorry.

As for my Reo with the tired 292 6 cylinder; it wouldn't turn a tire in anger.

North St. Paul Favorite


I get around to a few weekly events. I think I'll post my favorites at the various events. This Ford in a Ford was a first timer Friday night. Very high quality build. If you look carefully you can see the roof of my Reo behind the Model A.

 

[bob w]

It's got a nice office too. Bomber seats aren't visible.

Little Canada Days 300+ cars


It's rare, It's perfect, I love it. 1947 GMC.

I had two favorites today. This Dodge practically glowed.

I had the only rat at the show. All the rat rods get together for their own shows so there ien't many that show up at other events.
