Albob Report post Posted September 4, 2018 I just got off the phone with Mr. Kovar over at Toledo sewing and the conversation moved over to older cars. I told him I'd post up a picture of my pride and joy. My 66 Chrysler 300. It took me 10 years to buy this car from my brother and I've been working on it for 5 more to get it to this point, Before and after. I'm also trying to build a 36 international 1/2 ton pick up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted September 4, 2018 Very nice! I kind of miss the old “boats” from the 60’s - they sure did ride smoothly. I drove a 63 Chrysler Newport from Chicago to San Diego in 1969 - it was a great trip! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fredk Report post Posted January 11, 2020 This is my old car, with No.1 son driving it. Its a 1930 Austin 7 Ulster, a road-going racing car. Engine capacity is 847 cc - about 52ci - or put it another way my whole engine capacity is about equal to 1 cylinder of the above cars. The Austin is 10ft 3 inches long and 35.5 inches wide. Top speed is about 50mph. It has only three gears. Brakes are on all 4 wheels, 6 inch diameter drums and 1.25 inch wide. With them its a case of applying them a week before you need to if you want to stop. No.1 has a collection of old cars, including a 1978 model Cadillac Coupe DeVille and a number of old Skodas and BMWs. He has maybe about 20 - 25 cars in his collection.

chuck123wapati Report post Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) heck yea!! I have a 75 mgb work in progress, a 68 cj5, and a 1960s Lonestar boat with twin 1958 30 hp Gales. My dad was a Chrysler master mechanic so I grew up in our local Dodge garage in the 60s and 70s and that old Chrysler looks great!!!
