Re: Post your classic car here !

Strangely enough, none of my pics of classic cars are digital files..... all film pics. I should scan and post a few.

I guess I've just used "classic" film cameras to take pics of my classic cars.

Re: Post your classic car here !

Ok - I gave you a thumbnail of my 48 Chevy before. Here's the rest of the story...The red beast is stock except for her wheels. She has a 216 cube in-line 6 under the hood making 90 HP,a 3 speed manual w/column shift, the optional heater and defroster, a factory AM tube type radio, a clock (windup), and add-on turn signals. With her stock 4:11 rear gears, 55 is her comfortable cruising speed, because her rod bearings are the splash lube type. Her engine appears to be the original because I verified the serial number and casting numbers to be correct for the 1948 model year. Her title uses the engine serial as the VIN number, because in 48, cars didn't have VIN numbers. She has about 76K miles on her.

Love the New Yorker. Had a friend when I was a kid whose Father had a DeSoto about the same vintage. I thought that was one beautiful car.

My ranchero gives me a redneck gangster look and no one will cut me off in traffic cause i got metal I WISH A MOTHER LOVER WOULD CUT ME OFF my bumper will rip there door's bumper, headlights, and paint off.
