Thread: Went to a car show today.

Yep, he does have a few cars in there that deviate from his GM fascination. That Willys is one, and the 4 x 4 Jeepster next to it is kind of a quirky one. He also has an old motorhome that I think someone hand built, mostly out of wood. It is really neat and looks like it would be a cool ride to take cross country. There are a couple of other oddities, like the Miss Budweiser boat and the grand prix type car that was used in the Charlies Angels movie.

He also collects old signs, ice chests, pedal cars, and stuff like that. Everywhere you look there are neat old things.

Man I love that old black trans am with the gold eagle on the hood! Those cars bring back many high school memories!

That one is also a four speed, Steve. I would think most of them were automatics, so this one is probably somewhat rare. It may also have been a ram air, but not sure about that. Quite a few of his cars are ram airs, and very few are automatics. I've never seen so many Hurst shifters in one place in my life.

A shot of the Willys and the motorhome. Too Cool!

Nice to see it with full '40 trim and grille.....looks better to me than '41............really hate those three spoke wheels though.

Wow......I mean wow! What a nice collection! They both are super cool. I'd love the old motorhome. Talk about style! They Willys is super cool too.

Thanks for the pix,Don[jr],thats an amazing collection,,totally amazing..Now we know why the price of these things has gone up so much...He has most of them...

Glad to share the pics! I thought I posted these pics of the black trans Am Interior. Just seeing these seats made me want to drive to Alaska and back! And it was a cool 4 speed!

I agree with Uncle Bob about the wheels,they seem to take something away from the car. I hope it had a hemi in it. Thanks for the photos Don Jr., now can you pack that gorgeous young lady into the Willys and air freight both to me ASAP please.
I wonder if the camper was factory build or someones home handyman work??
Again thanks guys for the photos...oh by the way...What is the young ladies name so I know when she is delivered here???

Whiplash T,
Ha! That is my girlfriend taylor.....................As I tell every guy that hits on her....If you can afford her you can have her!

Along with the Willy's and Taylor coming your way expect 400 other packages full of shoes, purses, dresses, clothes, hats!

I have attached a picture of her current closet to help your decision

Yes the Wheels on the Willys were not my favorite either. They were probably in style It seemed like the motorhome was custom made as the woodwork was out of this world detailed.

We went back to that museum Sunday, but not inside. They have a swap meet in the parking lot the last Sunday of the month and we wanted to check it out. It was actually pretty big, we thought it might be 3 guys selling crafts but it was actually a lot of neat car stuff. Don loaded up on tools (two of the biggest gear pullers I have ever seen ) and I bought a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton engine for my minibike. We are going to go back at the one coming up the end of September and sell off some of our unneeded stuff.

Second throughts now Don Jr., I think you can keep her as I think I would have to empty the garage out to enable her stuff somewhere to be stored. She is very attractive young lady though and Taylor is a neat name. My young niece has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl whom she has named Taylor so our Taylor will be in excellent company with your Taylor.

Taylor is a neat name. Congrats on the new addition to your family!!

She has a thing for shoes like I have a thing for car parts!!!

Don jr.

Don't you wish you could've taken just one of those cars home with you!
Taylor looks like she might be Italian? How are you guys enjoying the boat after all the work you put into it?
