Bruce Mines car show, 1st one of the season; featuring Snoopy the '31 Ford

[Falcon Ranchero]

Some more familiar cars, but the silver 1931 Ford Hot Rod has some history. It was built by my Great Uncle Martin back in the early '60s; he started in 1960, and with the help of a friend, finished it in 1962. He sold it to his friend in 1965, and then it was sold again to some couple in '68 or '69, and then due to something that happend in that family, it was left dormant in a garage since 1970, but then a few years back it came out of hiding and my Great Uncle had the chance to buy it back, but declined. It is still around, as you'll see, and it has earned the name "Snoopy"; christened by the third owners I think. Canadian Hot Rods Magazine did a stoy on Snoopy like 10 years ago. The old photo of Snoopy (somewhere below) was taken in 1965, and in the background is my Great Uncle Lauri's 1964 Galaxie, the one I made my Galaxie model kit after.
