I stopped by my friend's place, Tony & Nadine's this afternoon, after work. Nadine's father owned Center Ford, until his death a few years ago. He was the oldest Ford dealership owner when he died. Tony and Nadine inherited a few cars and a bunch of memorabilia from the store. They are just finishing up their new garage, and everything is crammed into it, so please excuse the mess. In addition to the two cars below, they got a 66 half cab Bronco, that was the parts truck for the dealership for years. It isn't home yet, and needs some help with the 3 on the tree, I'll post up pics when it is in town. She had it out and about last summer, but took it out of town for winter storage. It is in real good shape, just a dent in the driver's door.
I'm getting a 39 Plymouth from Tony when we get a chance to go to GJ and pick it up. He realized his garage was already full and he would never get a chance to rebuild the Plymouth, so he offered it to me.
Here are a few pics of their 29 Model T, that runs well and is very driveable:
I had seen the Model T before, but I really stopped by to see the "Leyland" Lincoln they have. The motor was pulled and rebuilt about 10 years ago, and its still on a palate. It is an aluminum block 60* V8. It looks like it has a PTO off the front of the motor, and Tony said he read that it may have had a pump & hose system to fill the car's tires. The car is in some pieces, but is very cool. I can't wait to see it run. I'm looking forward to helping put it back together. It looks very original, I didn't get to ask as many questions as I wanted, but I'm thinking I'll learn much more about it as it goes back together.
