MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Saw one of the six known 1977-1979 Lincoln Town Cars that live here in town; this one being a dark blue four-door witha white top.
  2. Picture this, the sun is singing, the birds are shining... or is that the other way around?
  3. Clear, working 1962 Oritone transistor radio and 1967 Pontiac original dealer brochure. $40 for the whole shebang. First Facebook marketplace scores ever, from southern Ontario I had a relative pick them up a few weeks ago; just got them today. 52 pages of full colour '67 Ponts
  4. Got all the rocks raked off the empty lot (lawn) and back onto my grandma's driveway. Wow that took a long time. Finished up just as the rain started getting heavy
  5. Wow that gas station really attracts lots of old cars; first a '71 Torino and now a '56 Olds.
  6. Saw some Deer yesterday; a mother and a last year's fawn; this I believe is the mother in the photo. They've been hangin' around my grandma's place for about a week, having seen their tracks in the back earlier in the week, and then yesterday morning at 3am I guess my grandma saw them as they triggered the motion sensor lights outside, and then I saw them just after 12 noon yesterday I was raking rocks off the lawn, and looked up and saw them in the back so I slowly walked over there, got pretty close. And I guess they were here again earlier this morning.
  7. I also like the hubcaps I have in my possesion; the 1970 Meteor hubcap from my grandfather's 1970 Mercury Marquis And the set of 3 (might know where number 4 is) 1968 Chevy hubcaps my grandfather bought for his '75 Monte Carlo but never used on that car and were re-purposed to the 1963 Homade trailer (Lil' Red Express). And also the '58 Olds hubcap I found in the gully under a gas tank that photo evidence shows my grandfather had it on the front driver's side wheel of his '62 Galaxie in about 1968, after having a set of '57 Fords on it in earlier photos. No pic right now but it's this:
  8. Another re-build of one of my favourite cars, the original Dodge Charger; essentially a Coronet witha fastback grafted on, and four bucket seats. This model was originally built in Feb. 2022, but had a bad blue spray paint job. The colour pooled and bubbled in many areas, though when I posted photos of it on here back in July I was able to use dim lighting to sort of hide the bad paint job. So, never being totally pleased with it, I had it redone, and with new rims; the set from my '56 Del Ray, and the center caps from the '66 T-bird. Now after sanding the car down, and re-spraying it with a Duplicolour GM Light Driftwood (something like that), it had a bit of a reaction with the remaining previous paint, and some of the bubbling was still in areas since I didn't want to sand too much as to not accidentally sand off the badging. Because the paint job was still not 100% (though the paint job is way better than the previous) I decided it was time to do intentional rust, as I had contemplated many times before. Not rust bucket, but more like "80s restoration that should be done again" type deal with some bubbling on the end of the hood, lower quarters, etc. Interior and engine compartment remain the same. Started with this
  9. Ok going to get this right this time; 1966 Dodge Charger hubcaps are my favourite. Interesting to know what your favourite stock hubcaps are.
