Plymouthy Adams Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 bad part is that it looked worse before it was washed over and cleaned up a bit by the incoming tide... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family was from the Outer Banks of NC,and up until the 70's,if you wanted to go shopping for anything other than basic groceries,you had to go to Virginia Beach or Norfolk,Va. The quickest way to do this was drive up the beach. Most of the time that was ok,but you had to be REALLY careful after a big storm because the beach would change. You could be driving down it as easy as driving on a flat paved road,and hit a "washout" created by a rip tide,and fall into a hole big enough to swallow the whole car. What little sand was in the hole would be quicksand,so you had to get out quickly and if you were lucky,it happened close enough to a Coast Guard Station that you could run there and get back in time with a DUCK with a winch on it to winch it out of the hole. If you weren't,lucky,the car would basically disappear as the incoming tide would fill the hole with sand again. I grew up fishing haul nets off the beach,and used to see the roof of a 54 Chevrolet after a big storm would wash a lot of the sand away. A day or two later,it would be covered again, One of the worse things was to be riding along on what was normally a flat hard sand beach,and suddenly run into gravel beds uncovered by a storm. The minute you spotted that red gravel you started heading for the dune line as quick as you could get there because if you slowed down for anything,you would sink up to the chassis. The next high tide would usually bring sand back again to cover it up. I suspect this is what happened here because I can see gravel behind the car. I suspect what happened in this case was mom and dad lent the family Pontiac stationwagon to Junior,and Junior decided to go joy riding on the beach. I don't envy him having to explain to mom and dad what happened to the family wagon. I remember seeing a new El Dorado Convertible in the wash of the ocean one day,with both doors open,and the incoming tide just washing right through it as it took it out to sea. Every time a wave would hit it,it would rock and slide a little closer to deep water. The oddest thing was to see a new 4x4 Bronco of Blazer stuck in the wash of the ocean . Every time I saw one it ended up having dealer plates on it and was bought by a elderly couple that bought a 4 wheel drive "so we could enjoy driving up the beach.". Nobody bothered to tell them,and they never bothered to ask,how to put it into 4 wheel drive. They just assumed it happened automatically. It would embarrass them to see me hook a tow rope to my 2 wheel drive truck and pull them out of the ocean.

pflaming Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Possibly too young for some of us which means then that looks are no longer a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle-Pekka Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Let me try to guide this thread back to track (as pink panter cartoon is not "interesting photo..." to me... IMHO) The following may neither be interesting to all of you, but hopefully to some of you... Is that a special bodied 1948 Packard as a taxi cab in foreground? At least two of DeSoto taxi cabs around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle-Pekka Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Another desperate attemp; the text said "Oct. 1941, Little Falls, NY" 3x Dodge trucks - the best looking trucks of all times, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper50 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 pretty shallow for a casket. If it's for a business I can see the value, if not it's way too much. And I'm a guy that likes things made out of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Very detailed build. Seems the trailer should have the same rims as the woody. Edited October 31, 2018 by pflaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
