Model A Dave called early Saturday morning and talked me into doing a Lions Club Benefit show in a nearby town. I expected to see a few dozen cars there, but there must have been close to 300! Not only was I the only 356, but I was the only Porsche at all! I got to park next to a recently restored "MUSBJIM-style" Westfalia van. So here are some interesting cars, captioned:
This is Dave's Model A. This one is mostly stock, but with a different torque tube (driveshaft) and rear end because of the Overdrive gearbox behind the transmission. You could fit half the neighborhood in there at the Drive-In and still have room for a buffet. Nice Audi R8 behind it, too! There was an older (all relative to me these days) couple in the Model A roadster next to Dave and they never got out of their car, once!
I've known Dave since Kindergarten. Good wrench, but even more CDO than me!
I thought the juxtaposition of these two cars was more than interesting. Wasn't "Judge Orange" the same as Chevy's "Hugger Orange"?
Here's one for Lane. I know what this is, and I'll tell you that it's a 1952, but that's all. What is it?
Yes, even "Lightning McQueen" was there..... I never knew he was a Viper!
This was pretty cool and I had seen it while it was being constructed. It is an all steel, completely hand made '30 roadster with a Jaguar V12 engine. The guy learned metal working at Wray Schelin's Pro Shapers workshop. He said the easiest part was the chassis. I believe it.
