You might be thinking that doesn't look like a Model T Roadster, and you'd be right. As I drive down the road in this old 1970 ragtop Ghia with 'flappin' fenders and the sound of a four banger echoing off the curbs and walls...I kinda feel like I'm in an old 'tin-Lizzie'... This is a new project...bought in a moment of weakness...
For your viewing pleasure, some random shots taken recently...(since no progress on the "T" project to report...)...
A nice survivor 1958 Chevy Apache that belongs to my friend Jim...
An older Chevy pickup spotted in Sacramento...
An old Firechief's truck at a show in Folsom...
A Ford....spotted in Folsom...I believe it was...
Nice skirted and lowered Chev longbed spotted in Folsom...
Thirties? Ford Pick up spotted near Folsom...
Flat black 'ratrod' Chev pick up in Sacramento...
Super nice Model A Truck in Folsom...
Rear view...
What is that I see...could it be...?
Why yes, it's a radical Model T flat bed...
The 'Harley' payload is a dummy, with a Briggs and Stratton motor hidden in a plastic cover....
Never did catch up to this one...above Folsom....
These were seen at Sacramento Vintage Ford (located in Rancho Cordova)
These were seen at a small show at the Calif. State Fair outside of the track during the SacMile motorcycle races...
So....hope to be back sooner than later....with some design ideas and such...concerning the long running "T" project....
As usual, feel free to leave comments, corrections or questions!
re: '58 apache
ReplyDeleteAwesome truck, cool neighborhood.
Yeah Herm...the truck is a beaut ....Jim says he might sell it when he retires in a year or 2....another Larry down the street has expressed an interest in it....wouldn't mind buying it myself if it isn't too dear...but have a feeling it'll go for more than I can muster up....oh well. The neighborhood is one of the nicer ones in town...mostly unchanged...there have been a few ridiculous 'updatings'...and a few total replacements with 'McMansion' style buildings...but for the most part people have respected the character of the neighborhood. Recently the old unused rail yard that abutted this neighborhood was opened up to a new development that is ongoing....it'll be interesting to see how this changes the character of the place...with more peeps, traffic, and yet to be determined businesses..
