Thresherman's show over the weekend


Recommended Posts

Posted

Went to an antique car show on Sunday in Pinckneyville, IL. Usually go every year. Just went to look this year. Saw some nice cars. Probably the best two I saw were a '39 Studebaker truck and a '38 Hudson Terraplane pickup. The same gentleman owned both cars. Both were super clean.

Several mopars and others. No P-15's this year. Didn't really see that many cars from the forties. A couple of Fords and Mercs. Seemed to be lots of '50 Chevies. Follow the link to the photobucket album for more pics.

I have always liked the looks of the Studebaker and Hudson versions of those. I guess you could say they were ahead of thier times, as Ford and Chevy didn't come out with that style until '57 for Ford and '59 for Cheverolet. Although those type vehicles were popular "Down Under" long before here in the states

Fstfish66,

This is rich ahrtung I live over in Valley forge gald to see someone is close to my home I own a 39 Desoto. HAve you every gone to the Haycreek festival in Morgantown, PA? It is heald the first weekend in September. They have the old time farm equipment and tractor and old cars from the teens up to the late 40's.

It is a great place for kids and grandkids. They have alot of the old time hit and miss engine and working farm equipment and stream tractor with a working saw mil. They steam tractor is only working on Saturday because it is owner by an Amish gentleman.

Also do you go to Macungie in August.

These vehicles are probably the closest thing to a Ute made in the

U.S. in that era. Pretty nifty trucks they were.

Cool trucks-way ahead of their time. My brother did a bunch of body work on a '39 Stude PU, including making a new tailgate. That ain't easy what with the compound curves and rolled edges and all. He amazes me- he locks himself in the shop, puts on his pointy hat with the moons and stars on it and proceeds to work his magic. I didn't inherit that gene.
