Classic cars from our generation

..and how gorgeous is this delivery truck...?

Wow, roof rack and cargo boxes. Must have been a taxi of sorts.

I know it's supposed to be vintage vehicles from our generation... but I can't resist ALL vintage vehicles.. the older the better... what's not to love about this old bus...

Wow, that is amazing. Never seen anything like it.

I think we're finally finished with the trunk area of the 57.
Again, it may not be perfect, but we did it all ourselves.

Terrific job. I'm sure it was a labor of love, but the result is primo.

Posted this before, but worth another whirl for those who missed it.

283's were great engines. That's what I had in my '55'

How about this mock up of the original Motor vehicle workshop .. from about 100 years ago....around the 1920's and 30's maybe even into the 40's

Well, if you're going out crusin' in your sweet black and white '57', here a song from the Bobcat travel tunes playlist I think you might like.

Wow, that is amazing. Never seen anything like it.

Britain's early buses were known as Charabancs, the name derived from the French char à bancs (“carriage with wooden benches”), the horse-drawn version having originated in France in the early 19th century. The name was commonly mispronounced “sharra-bang”. Around the same time Motor Omnibuses made their first appearance.

Some of the most poignant photos of those early buses is that of soldiers going off to war in 1914 in a charabanc.

At one time, I owned a Black 1962 Impala SS. Best car I ever owned. It had the '327 engine and ran like a champ. The thing was a real chick magnet.

Few people know that Case farming equipment also built cars (including race cars) from 1911-1927.

 

[horseless carriage]

Like Case, most people think of MG as small sports cars, but between the wars MG built some amazing larger cars.

This first car was one my father bought me when I was a senior in high school. It was an old Hudson. The gas gauge did not work, and the tarred top leaked when it rained. My friends and I had a fantastic time for the summer I had it.

The second car was a '57 Chevy convertible I bought when I was discharged from the Air Force.

The third car was a Buick Electra, which was my very favorite of the many cars I've owned in my lifetime.

I was always hard on cars and literally ran them into the ground.
