One of the Fifth's around me was mint.
Dark blue, leather interior....belongs to an old timer.
Everytime I see it there's a new dent in it.
It's going downhill fast....too bad.

Sounds like an intervention is needed ... get that thing in protective custody

I was cruising around in the Volare and what do I spot?

1952 Dodge Kingsway business coupe...
Flathead six, three on the tree...

Met the owner and got the tour.....

Made in Windsor!!

And what a dash!!
Very cool car!!!

I love the patina... and the fact that it's still a 6V system. Very cool!

I've had a major hankering for a 51-52 business coupe and this thing shows up two blocks from me.

Obviously I need to befriend this guy. I MUST take this thing for a spin.

I've seen a factory sun roof fifth ave multiple times around where I live. I offered to sell the guy some parts but he said its just a driver. I saw an 80's Doba once on my way to work and it looked like the woman driving it must have been living in it because the back seat area was full of crap all the way up to the roof. Looked like a good car though.

Sitting in traffic this morning and what rolls up on my left?
A beater K car.....don't see too many of these kicking around here anymore.

There's a little antique store in the town where my trailer is.
What do I see in there?....
A Tonka style version of a Deora.
Would have bought it if they didn't want a pile of money for it.
It's rough and they wouldn't budge on the price.
Thought it was cool though and snapped a pic.

I'm pretty sure that one was held together in spots by duct tape.

My son had a Reliant, and due to his careful maintenance (SIC) he mix-mastered it TWICE. My XYL then suggested he use my 84 Monte and he customized the front end of that one... so sad.....

Better front wheel driving in the snow. It comes out at winter time only.

I like RWD one wheel peel myself.
Makes going sideways easier..... :toothy12:

ive had front and rear drive in snow, to me front isnt that better in snow. i guess it all depends on how a driver grew up driving !there wasnt many front drivers when us older drivers grew up ( not many we would of driven anyways )
