Thread: Lucky's Cruise Pics

Tweet

Here's a slideshow link of the pics I took today. The eyes weren't cooperating so I didn't take as many as I would have liked to. Lucky is the man in the black derby hat with the two refugees beside him. Pic #13

Fairlane performed real good and I was very pleased.

Nice! Thanks

Great selection of pics there Em! Thanks for sharing them.

Hey, thanks for the pics Em!!! Quite a variety of cars there! I like to say "to each his own" but I was particularly "intrigued" by the lavender '37 Ford (pic 20) with the white vinyl top and elaborate graphics.... Let's just say mine probably won't look like that! But, at least his runs....where as mine is still in pieces in my garage!!!

Dang Randy, if I'd thought of it, I would have gotten you all 4 profiles

WOW! First one out of the box 64 Impala Sports Coupe. I bought one new in 64 Amber Red. Kept it 35 years Don't know what I was thinking selling it.

Charles...you need slappin... 63 and 64 are nice cars,,specially in coupe form.. And,,it's nice to see one that hasn't been brutally disfigured,with silly little 13 inch wheels..

Thanks,Em..A good bunch of cars there.. That 39,or 40 tudor threatened my blood pressure,,so I'm glad you never got any closer to it.. Looked kool from a distance..

I like the special, and there was a unique ute vehicle(photo #16/43) that might have been a chevy or holden? very cool!

I looked at that and thought: "Mopar."
Mid-fifties (Australian) Chrysler Royal?

I don't recall them making a ute though but . . .

And if it is how on earth did it find its way (in that guise) to the States?

There's got to be a story there Em; do you know anything about it?

I'm thinking it's an old '56 Dodge 4-door that someone cut the mid-section out of......looks kinda silly to me!

I went back and looked again, this time stopping the frame; and do you know what?
I think you're right on the button!
Even to the comment of it looking silly.

(But that's not our business . . . the owner/builder obviously likes it, and really, that's all that matters.
It's one man's interpretation of his vision/dream that makes hot-rodding what it is.)

I TOTALLY AGREE, Johnboy, but along with his right to build it comes our right to have an opinion about it! At the end of the day, I suppose no one really gives a rat's arse about either but it makes for some fun conversation as long as nobody gets their panties in a wad.....

Pal, the only story I heard was when, Kyle, said "it's a shortened 4 door" !
As I mentioned, my eyes were really messing with me in that bright sunlight but I swear I saw "Comet" between the hood ornament and grill. Don't quote me on that OK?????? Oops just saw Randy's post so maybe I wasn't halucinating after all !

Em, I'm guessing your eyes tricked you into thinking the "r-o-n" in Coronet was an "m".........

Don't tell anyone but I actually typed Coronet first and then changed it to Comet - - - I need MORE COFFEE NOW !

FWIW - Pic #3 is the arse-end of it !
