Far too many favorite movie cars to pick just one. One of my favorites is the 1966 Plymouth Valiant convertible from The Flim Flam Man

I have always been fascinated by Gator McClusky's 1971 Ford Custom 500 with its elusive -half automatic transmission on the column and half manual 4 speed on the floor !

Congratulations. My wifes birthday is on December 20th also, she said when she was little she got one corrective shoe for her birthday and the other corrective shoe for Christmas .

HI I'm from Detroit , Want to compare notes ?

That is soooo cool !

Great pictures ! Thanks for sharing. St. Ignace is one of the best Mid West car shows .

I remember the Ubly Drag Strip very well , my grandfather was from the "thumb " area so we went to the drag races in the summer when we went to see him . I remember Herb Jackson also ! His store was around 10 mile and Middlebelt in a little strip mall . One day i went there to look at models and the place was a SUBA diving supply , thats how and when i learned he had passed. That was a long time ago.

The tail lights and bummer, maybe even the rear 1/4 panels a little have an awfully - 1972 Chrysler New Port look to them

When the sad day came that we had to clear my grandmothers house out to sell ,I took cans of Campbells soup out of the pantry that had a price tag of .12 cents made long before bar codes or best by dates . I never thought to save them to sell on e bay .

My wife made baby 'bellas baked in butter and garlic , once she covered them with cheese the faces disappeared , they looked cool but didnt taste any different

The proverbial snake in the grass

The Only time I have to put the chains on is when we get an ice storm , usually some time in February . Id rather deal with a foot of snow than a half an inch of ice.

Around here that could be a problem because if it snows and I stay home , Every one stays home.

Is Joe Wheat still around ? There are a couple of cars in your collection that are at the high end with promo collectors .

I had this '86 Lincoln Town Car for 4 years , 5.0 fuel injected automatic with overdrive it would get 24 mpg . It was one of the best cars ive ever owned

I need a more aggressive tire on my truck ,

My motorcycle riding days are over , But i have no regrets . Ive had my time in the warm sun . My last bike -1981 Harley Davidson FLH

I always liked the guitar in Rolling Stones/ Rocks Off but Star Star has better licks ...but I dare not share that here .

In 1982 I had this 1962 Ford Falcon 4dr. it had a 170 ci straight 6 and a 3 speed manual trans column shift -it had 44 K miles when i got it, It was a real cream puff ! I was at a bar on 7 Mile in Detroit one night drinking with some friends when some one came in the bar and asked who owned a black Falcon , I thought i might have left the lights on or some thing. NOPE , some one had tried to steal it , they ran a hot wire with clips from the battery to the coil then bumped the starter with a screw driver to get it running , they tried to leave the parking lot got in the middle of 7 Mile and stalled it , when they pulled out in traffic some one hit the passenger rear 1/4 trying to swerve to miss it. Im sure if it had been an automatic i would have never seen that car again. I think some one wanted it for parts . I was able to pound most of the quarter panel out then bought a 1963 Falcon for $125.00 for the rear bumper that got bent
