Two Bug Shots

I had to open the trunk and hood to convince a kid that the engine was really in the back. More Bug Shots at the bottom.

1936 Ford

This unrestored 1936 Ford was in remarkable condition after 70 years. In those days, the spare often rode out in the open. This one has a protective cover.


 

1949 Chevrolet


In 1949, this body style was an instant hit. It looked fast, but power was from the old reliable "stove bolt six" which was not known for speed. Today, these cars are popular with collectors. You don't see many cars with horn rings on the steering wheel anymore.


 

Ford Sunliner

I think this convertible is a '56 Ford Sunliner. That's a '55 hardtop at left.

 

Fords in three colors.

The blue Ford is a Thunderbird. First of the T-Birds, this body style was built from 1955 until 1957.

The yellow Ford is a 1954 Customline hardtop.

The red and white Ford is a 1955 Victoria. I think the strap across the roof makes it a Crown Victoria.

Nash

This magnificent old Nash is a rare car.



 

Rumble seat

A rumble seat was in the back and in the open. In good weather, it was fun for two people. The mother-in -law seat was also in the back and in the open, but not nearly as much fun.


 

Dodge


This looks like about 1933 to me.

Name plates




You can call them a badge, a logo, or a name plate, but manufacturers have always been careful to identify their cars. For a look at headlights and tail lights on cars look at http://knoxville.yourhub.com/LOUDONCOUNTY/Stories/Travel/General-Travel/Story~307675.aspx







 

Imperial

Chrysler's luxury sedan, the Imperial had tail lights mounted on top of the rear fenders. Also in the picture, a Mercury and 1936 Plymouth.

 

A lowered Chevy Pickup

This creamy Chevy is close to the ground. My guess is 1949. In the background you can see two Chevy cars.



 

A nice 1955 Chevy.


This model Chevrolet has always been popular. (Can you spot my VW?)

 
A pair of nice old Buicks.



 

Car Show on Broadway

They closed down Broadway and had a car show right in the middle of town. That's my blue Bug in the foreground.

 

1966 Volkswagen

The shades over the head lights are a accessory.

1936 Plymouth street rod

I found this old Plymouth in the Dollywood parking lot. That's our grand daughter, Tori.
