You see out fine if you use the side view mirrors. The rear window isn't that bad though. You can see a bit.

Very true about the rear window. You can see perfectly if you are use to looking out of a mail slot or an army bunker.

Mach,...I was always curious how you all see out of the those cars? With that aircraft carrier deck lid and all. They are really neat and very nice looking cars. Would you care for me to test drive them for you to make sure they are safe for you and your family?

Sure, Mike. You bring the parts! NOS, of course.

In the original boxes.

They should be easy to find. Original Model A parts in original boxes, now that is another story...

Easy is a relative term. It took me quite a while to find front end parts after a dumbass screwed up my front end in the 73 Mach 1. Components of that were made for one year only. :doh:

I know what you mean, Henry decided to change the fenders on my car for half of the production year. I found a pair of front fenders that will work after I dump about 1K of body work into them. Then I have to have them painted. What was he thinking. I figure those parts should be easy to find as the 71-73 Mustangs were not that popular. I have found a junk yard north of the Chevron refinery that looks very promising for old car parts. If you want I can pm you with directions.

Thanks fellas. Here is one last shot, and I think it turned out all right. Took this one next to a building from 1896

That is just a beautiful, and in a good color too. I always enjoy seeing it, Justin.

I had a good time at the local 4th of July parade, went there with several other military vehicle owners, I think had about 2 dozen military rides of varying vintage. In the parade, we had them in order of the year they were built, from 1940 (a Ford GP) to the late 1990s (a modern 5-ton)...

NOTE: Yes, I'm wearing modern specs in this photo, this was when we were moving from the display site to the parade staging. During our display, I was wearing my WW2-issue GI glasses...

Looks like a super fun time! Nice to see Ol' Abe getting some action on the fella behind ya as well

Funny, everyone who's seen my 'selfie' in my 1944 MB has commented on Alex standing back there (he's outfitted for a glider rider from the 328th INF, by the way). He's a younger member of our group and a really good guy. I had him back there ready to yank my wheel chock while I was warming up the Jeep as it was sitting on a slope at the time.
He sort of looks ticked, doesn't he? Nothing could be further from the truth, I bet he was probably wondering what i was doing with the camera... [huh]

 

[1930artdeco]

Hey P51 where was the parade?

Mike

 

[p51]

Centralia, WA, about halfway between Seattle and Portland along I-5...

 

[1930artdeco]

Yep I know where that is, having been there at some point when I lived in Portland. And, I will be there again on Sat. headed to Puyallup for my car show.

Great pics, p51. Looks like a good time!
