I spotted this in my garage. Does that count? View attachment 430157

She is beautiful I need to find a good pic but my dad has a "restored to original" 52 chevy 5 window pickup. The thing is a handful to drive (3 on the tree and power nothing ) but it an awesome experience. Don't see them in their original form too often these days.

My friend's 1929 Model A roadster ( He bought it in 1951.. original / minimal upkeep / not a restoration ( except for the tires)..
It's in N. SF Bay Area )

Pics of the '52 i referred to. Story is that my dad bought this truck from a good friend of his (who's now passed). That friend (Hosmer) inherited from his father who bought it new in 1952. Spent it's hole life as a farm truck. Hosmer then restored it back to original back in the early 2000's and that's how it sits today and gets driven a few times a year. Truck is title to my dad and I so it'll be in my garage when my dad decides he's too old to be able to drive it anymore. Truck is downright spotless.

It has one. That pic was while we were tinkering with it to get it running after it'd sat for a couple of years. It's got its stock oil bath air cleaner on it.
