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.

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.

Nice to see it with full '40 trim and grille.....looks better to me than '41............really hate those three spoke wheels though.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
