Anyone else like older cars?

[Albob]

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

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!

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.

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!!!

Just had ceramic paint protection done, and I’m seriously impressed! The shine is unreal, and it feels like my car has a new life. Can’t wait to share some pictures soon! Highly recommend if you want top-notch protection.

My son bought us another Austin 7 recently. Its a 1937 Austin 7 Ruby rebodied with a Lotus 7 styled body. That black roof is steel and its meant to look like a fabric roof. It tilts up and back so you can get in & out
