self-propelled vehicle, he was, however, one of several automotive

pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought what a nice idea. I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected. I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps for some time now and I first wrote a web page on this page on the Studebaker. Then one on Jeeps and Packard followed. Then came one Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson. Essex and Terrplanes of Australia , Volkswagen Kaiser and Henry J and then with the help of one of my visitors have written one on the Crosley. All my previous pages had been on orphaned cars but now I thought I would try one a bit different. I wrote a page on the Chevrolet and now the Ford These pictures came for a number
of sources including web
I would like to invite any one
that has a favorite Ford picture or a Web Page

The car on the right is owned by Buzz and Shirley Philips Union Wa The 51 Ford is featued below but the one on the right is a creation of Buzz Philips. For years he has been installing new stuff on old Ford and Chevys, I think he has found the best of both worlds. Its called an easy rod. The looks of a 50 Ford but a1995 T Bird running gear & amenities with out all the modifications it takes to install this kit is a bolt and screw togeather no cutting or welding and looks great! and no overheating problems. It fits on 89 to 95 T Birds& Cougers. If any one wants further information please go to this site. Easy rod.com |

This car is owned by Delmer Watson of Ohio
He had the following to say about this car. "The 50 Ford (Shown above) was one fine car, I bought it in Kaufman Texas around '53. Those Fords would run, this was no different. once again I thought I was top dog til I had bout with a Texas ranger one afternoon , west of Weatherford, on a highway where a person could see for ever , He had a 53 Ford, and cleaned my plow yet today I still have that awful taste in my mouth. Picture was taken in Arcadia Park { Dallas} Texas. The '52 Ford I acquired in '54, it wasn't much to speak of, had nice lines. The picture is taken on Byers Ave , [Camp Bowie] Ft Worth , Texas," |
This car was owned by Rhoda Turner, (Smith)
Vineland, NJ
It was the love of my life. It was a light cream color with black panels in the back, dark green leather interior, green metallic dash board. It was lowered in the back and bull nosed and de-chromed and had 1954 bullet shaped Oldsmobile tail light covers. It had a V-8 engine with twin glass packed exhaust pipes. |

by Marc VANDER LINDEN from Beligum. Marc had the following to say about the picture. "This car and the 1950 Ford were bought and used in central Africa ( Congo ) in the '50s. Of course they no longer exist. These vehicles belonged to the parents of one of my friends I met over there in 1961 and with whom I'm still in contact here in Belgium. These photographs have been just found in an
album
