Old Cars

People have asked me why I like the '49 - '52 Chevy style on occasion and the reply I usually give is that I started out with a 1951 Chevrolet four door Sedan that my grandfather gave to me in 1974. I think I became fascinated with them at that point. I remember riding with my grandparents in that car as far back as four or five years old and was surprised that it was getting passed on to me. Unfortunately the condition of the body was such that we decided to pull his motor and put that into a 1950 four door Sedan that I was able to purchase for $100. Here is grandpa's '51 in a Polaroid shot I took back in 1974.

Here is the recipient of his 216 cid inline six engine - the 1950 Four Door DeLuxe Sedan.

That's how all of this got started and you couldn't get me to trade the education and memories that came with them for anything....
