My 1931 Ford Covid-19 Car

Terrible title for a story! But hang in there, it gets better. The story actually starts around the year 2011 or so. I found and purchased a 1931 Ford Model A 5-window coupe body. It had doors, trunk lid and misc. trim parts, but no frame or motor, glass, etc. With the help of Ray Yedding, I found a frame for a modest amount. Then I ran across a 1956 Oldsmobile. It was a 4 door, but complete and sort of ran. I paid only $200 for it. So now…

The Good Old Days

The Land Of The Very Old THE GOOD OLD DAYS I was sitting in our car outside of a local super market while my wife, Tina, went to pick up a prescription for me. As I watched an older woman direct a store employee to where her car was parked, another old couple were hanging on to each other looking for where their car was located.

The Popular Story of Ferrari’s Horse Emblem

When Enzo Ferrari was a boy, he admired this WWI pilot who favored lots of power and speed. Later on, Enzo worked for Alfa Romeo, but he always wanted to manufacture his own racing cars.  In Italy, having a logo (usually an animal) is a major part of the identity of a company. So Enzo went to the widow of the WWI pilot to seek permission to use her late husband’s logo of a prancing horse. As the story goes, she asked “what do you want to use ii cavallino…

Cousin Dave, the Cruizin’ Mexican and the Car-Nut Gene Cousin Dave got the same gene I did and is a car nut. As with most genes, his was modified such that he loves to go FAST. He had a Cobra , moved to a Chrysler Viper, and now has a Miata. He’s raced at all the tracks in Northern California, most recently at Monterey to end the season winning in his class.  Me? Nothing better than resting that folded arm out the window and enjoying the ride! I’m the Cruzin’…
