Title: Found the famine
Post by: Heo on September 29, 2017, 08:53:59 AM
I visited my childhoods playground today and found the famine
That car, A Essex 25isch was called the famine because the license
nr was BD 1867. The year there was the big famine here when people
ate their shoes to try to survive  the guy that owned it had the Taxi
in my village. We rode to school the first 3 years with him in his 64 Malibu

Heo, there's about as much left of that body as that old Model A pickup sitting in my front yard.

In the U.S., somebody would turn that into a Rat Rod..lol ::)

Yes it looks like it suffered the starvation.  There is a 37-38 isch
mopar grill inside it so all you need to build a ratrod is there. And the
front doors are suicide and thats cool i been told..... There was a 38 Packard
limousine beside it when i was a kid but its gone now

Yes he was realy happy running around sniffing and digging and  eating blueberries
He ate and went to bed after we came home

Haha I have driven many miles in that Essex with me and my friends shooting
our cap revolvers at the gangsters in the black Packard that chased us.....we didn´t
need no stinking video games. Sometimes we roamed around that forrest with bows , arrows and
spears like a band of indian warriors.....And ofcause a good supply of pine cones in the pockets
if the retarded kids from next village deared to show up on our ground for a cone war
those where the days  no problem in sight no bills to pay

WConley but they are not weatherproof, So you
have to take them inside over night

Those fender ornaments also require more maintenance than a 9,000 rpm FE valvetrain!  I know, because mine comes from California...

My guess is that fender ornament is worth the maintenance costs  ;D ;D
