Your Ford Thread

Soon after we married in 1958 I bought a 1931 Model A coupe and started restoring it. Bought another Model A, a 1929 4-door all original.
Another guy wanted the 1931 coupe more than I did so sold it and bought a 1926 Model T touring basket case. Restored it original. It's someplace north of Tallahassee in a museum now.

In 1970 bought almost my dream car. Ever since grade school I wanted a 1940 Ford deluxe coupe. Right down the cul-de-sac I bought a 1939 Ford deluxe coupe with a Camaro rear bench seat added so we could haul our kids. 283/powerglide. Hauled it to Florida in 1994. Hauled back to Illinois in 2016. Still own it.
Better style than a 1940.
Bought a new 1965 Mustang fastback HP 289. Loved it but three kids outgrew it.
First truck was a red 1975 Ford supercab. Next 1977 one ton to pull 5th wheel RV.
My last Ford and still own it, a 1941 deluxe 2-dr sedan all Chevy power. It's now in my Illinois garage.

Want to buy another Model A coupe or any body style that's restored or a driver.
Besides those I own old Chevys.

We've always tinkered on and driven old cars.

Thanks for the really good story.


My car bug crap has been a part of my posting here for 15 years+


And butchering wood, and building stuff, and so on . . . .

Rather than peruse the latest executive cars and limousines for its officials and diplomats to wave at crowds in future parades, the state of New York decided to reawaken a car already in its possession – the Packard Model 905 that Franklin Delano Roosevelt bought new 85 years ago.

“Just to leave it sitting here, I don’t think is what FDR would do,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters earlier this week when retrieving the Packard from the New York State Museum in Albany. “This is a national treasure, and it’s going to be a great marketing device for the state of New York.”

Purchased toward the end of Roosevelt’s second term as governor of the state for use as a staff car, the Full Classic dual-cowl phaeton features Packard’s Twin Six V-12, dual sidemounts, and leather interior. Rather than a winged goddess hood ornament, the 905 features a special New York governor’s fleet insignia.

Introduced at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, the Ninth Series Packards resurrected the Twin Six name, though this time attached to a Cornelius Van Ranst-designed 67-degree V-12 good for 160 horsepower. The Twin Six-powered cars assumed the position of flagship, aimed toward buyers of the Cadillac V-12 and V-16 models and, despite the ongoing Depression, continued to power Packards through 1939.

Roosevelt didn’t use his Packard for long; after his election to president in 1932, the Packard went into the state’s fleet. Governor Thomas Dewey’s purchase of a 1942 Cadillac effectively sidelined the Packard, though it did emerge again briefly in 1982 for Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus of the Netherlands during their visit to Albany.

I loved my little Ford Ranger. It was my first truck and I was never stuck.

I never owned a Ranger, and I've heard tales from all perspectives and experiences.


My brother had one and it gave him some crap as he went along. When it finally died, he traded it for a Dodge 2500.


Then he bought this full-size Ford diesel he has now.


Good to see you. I hope that all is well with you.
