Young Ed Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Veemoney said: Red paint fades faster than most. could be the sun is working it's magic or you have some oxidation going on, but I wouldn't call it orange just yet. If it does go orange just provide pictures in black and white and tell everyone it's red Folks sometime think my truck is painted with primer when actually the paint shines nice if I buff it out but a few days later it is chalky again. Oh well. That's exactly what's going on. When it needs a good wash and wax it gets more orangy. That red paint is very very old. From what I can tell it's only the second paint job since 46 and it's not even a very good job. They didn't do between cab and bed or inside the bed either.

Yes; Odd is what Bonneville is all about, and this 1951 shot shows what we mean. Cam Guru Howard Johansen entered his Crosley-bodied Modified Coupe in three classes, B powered by a 245" GMC-6, C powered by a 299" GMC-6, and D powered by a 1931 Marmon V-16 displacing 510". At the end of the week, Howard was top dog in Class B with a run of 131.964 mph to grab first in class. Second place Selway & Baker were miles behind in second with a speed of 114.795 mph but ended up setting the class record at 109.954 because Howard couldn't put together a two-way run. In Class C and D, no speeds are listed for the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billrigsby Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 From FB; Dodge Trucks - 1993 and older Traces of Texas reader Allison Sykes graciously sent in this stellar photo of Sykes Motor Company in Ballinger, 1935. Per Allison: "This is a picture taken in 1936 of my paternal grandfather's auto business here in Ballinger. The trucks were driven in a convoy from Ballinger to Detroit,Michigan to pick up the autos and bring them back to Ballinger. My father was one of the convoy drivers when he was fourteen years old. My grandfather's name was Otto Clinton Sykes, but everyone just called him O.C. He died in 1955." Thank you so much for this wonderful Trace of Texas, Allison 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
