Well, it happened. My inner contrarian lost out to practicality. If you can call it practicality to own a near-century-old car with the intention of driving it on public roads (note: This is Hemmings, yes you can). I've decided my next car will be a 1925 Ford Model T - I've even toyed with selling my '62 Falcon to make it happen sooner, though my wife is opposed to that. As you'll recall from Part One, my good friend Clayton Paddison is one of the biggest Model T advocates...Read More | Lake Arrowhead, California, 1950s Posted by Daniel Strohl - Date: circa 1950s Location: Lake Arrowhead, California Source: found photo via Shorpy (above); Jack Shea (below) What do you see here? ...Read More | | | UPCOMING EVENTS 11th Annual Open Classic Car & Truck Show
