: i just spent the day looking at the most
: incredible collection of old cars that
: i've ever seen.: it seems that some friends of my father
: heard that i was restoring a 1930 sedan
: and that i needed a few items, so they
: invited me to their place to look
: over what they had. : it turns out that an 84 year old guy
: has several houses and maybe 20 or
: so farm out buildings clustered together.
: every one of these buildings are
: completely filled with old cars and
: NOS parts. the guy was a complete ford
: nut --- there was a 1916 brass radiator
: model T touring car, several 1920's
: T touring cars, a 1929 immaculately
: restored Tudor, several 1932 commercials
: (one of them still had a coca-cola
: sign still painted on the passenger door),
: a couple of late 30's coupes, some
: mercurys, and maybe 15 other fords from the 50's. : one of the model T's was driven into
: one of the out buildings sometime
: in the 40's and the doors to the
: building nailed shut until just recently. : i saw model A parts lying everywhere --
: there were bell housings, timing covers,
: blocks, whole steering columns with the
: steering wheel, gear box, spark and throttle
: rods all together, starters, generators,
: ammeters in the original boxes, paintings of the cars
: that would have been sent to the dealers,
: champion spark plugs in the original
: boxes, NOS fenders that still had the
: factory lettering on them, etc., etc., : i could go on and on; it simply was
: incredible.the guy ended up giving
: me a raditor shell; although it was
: pretty rough, i think i'm going to
: be able to use it. :
: doug handran : Doug,
Is this guy willing to sell other pieces of his goodies ?
I am restoring a parts car and need all the fenders for a '31 Town Sedan, as well as the garnisn for the wildows and a back window frame.
