CRAZY CARS 1910-1920 - 30's

Oh my, how times have changed???

Early Automobiles and Motor Cars, 1910's

Its silent, but well worth having a look at, cheers

 

 

Friday morning and its off to Gippsland in the Red Chev

Took the Red Chev for a run up to see Grant and Monty at Trafalgar, car went very well, no issues or concerns.

 

Grants following posting from his facebook page says it all

 

"Today Ray Dean and his "Red Chev" rolled into our Signshop at 10.30 for morning smoko, but due to the higher than normal level of "sour milk", long life to, in the brew room fridge which I am blaming the hot weather on, we rescheduled brew over to our house...
With some Chevy spare parts dropped off, Ray quickly was back on the hwy, heading into a strong westerly for the 140km trip back home...
From all reports the old Chevy went well as only could expected from such an immaculately kept vehicle... To shiny for me ;-)"

 

 

 

Old Gas Stations - 100's of photos revisted

With my blog in its 3rd year, and 617 posts later, one of the most viewed subjects has consistently been the old gas stations.

I thought it may be of interest to post a summary with the links to the individual gas station postings.

I hope you enjoy..........................

1927 Pontiac Sport Cabriolet - A Great Barn Find!

I found this on Ebay, very nice

Up for bids is this great old Pontiac, a 1927 Sport Cabriolet. This car has just emerged from a 53 year hibernation. Originally from Washington State, it was brought to Oregon in 1956, used sparingly, and then stored on blocks in 1960. Until I bought it last month, it had sat in the same spot since then. During that time, the motor was hand turned a few times a year, oil was changed every 10 years, but the car never moved, not for the next 53 years. Thankfully, the garage the car was stored in was heated, which is responsible for the remarkable condition the car is in today.

I have just undertaken a careful mechanical reconditioning, but aside from fresh fluids, the car didn't need much. The motor showed 60psi on all cylinders, and fired up almost instantly. The car is now back on the road and runs like a peach. Some further attention will be needed before the car embarks on any long distance journeys, but at this point the car is like a time traveller from another era, still motoring down the road after 86 years.
