    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    One of these is not like the other. At the Yankee Air Museum air show last weekend.

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Looks like we're 1A in the Army again, this time in the 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Division. We'll be picking up the wounded on Omaha in June '14 in our Dodge WC54 ambulance. It's quite the workout to drive, especially on English roads. Non-syncro crashbox 4 speed and suggestive brakes. I had to...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Moved from LA to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a year or two. Took the Buick to play with, which made quite the conversation piece at the Canyonlands campground. Taped it up to save it from stone chips and all went well except for a stress crack in the driver's windshield, which I'm pretty sure wasn't...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Fabulous pics Sapphire. I really envy you and your car (and your weather!). We had almost two weeks of continuous rain on our trip through France, the Benelux, and UK in the old Citroen. Unlike yours, our trip was not completely trouble-free though our problem proved to be minor: a faulty...

    Thanks! Love those photos, they are an inspiration. We became Bavarian residents for the duration of our trip. Now the car is on the M/S Tristan headed to Los Angeles. I posted some trip pics in another thread but here are a few more. In the Eurotunnel.

    Ardenne tour

    The road taken by Peiper toward La Glieze. Further south, Ft. Shoenenbourg in the Maginot Line. The battle for Schoenenbourg started on May 14, 1940. The fort fired 3840 shells in its own defense. The French government surrendered on June 25 but the fort was never taken and only handed over to...

    Ardenne tour

    This year we saddled up in a '64 Citroen ID-19 and took a tour of the Bulge area of the Ardennes on the way to the War and Peace Show in the UK. Here are some pictures. Sherman tank turrets indicate where the 101st Airborne stopped the advance of the 47th Panzer Lehr during its...

    War & Peace 2012 Anyone going?

    I went this year for the first time. The weather dampened the attendance but it was still quite impressive.

    The Artist

    Saw it last night at the AFI Film Fest Premier. Wow. I mean, Wow. Every once in awhile you have to see a French film to remind you that they invented the art form. A beautiful homage to old Hollywood.

    1953 Motorcycle trip thru Europe

    Loved it, great link! For once, youth not wasted on the young!

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    The critical question is, of course, whether it was sold with a free tank of gas, which in the UK would be about 10 percent of the car's value.

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Great pics. The MB looks very authentic. As this is car show season, here are a couple from last weekend's Supercar Sunday in Calabasas. Lots of Supercars, and one old Buick. Plus an ancient Roller from Springfield, Mass.

    My garage looks more like the "before" pics.

    World's only remaining "Ghost Car" up for auction - 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six

    If this car had a conventional steel body it'd be worth $15k tops, but it is such a neat artifact of the era that I think it'll pull in some serious money.

    Gaga for Bungalow / Craftsman / Mission

    This was our 1924 bungalow in Ann Arbor before we moved to stucco box land (LA), plus our '38 Buick. Really miss that place. And the car.
