DJ194950 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Posted December 30, 2016 Ratrods or Not? Frame swap questions?- Yes it will fit! What to do with spares motors and some wood? Missing seats or parts? Time to get on the addition of that AC you have been wanting to do! DJ Quote

There should be no doubt if you know any history. WW2 for sure (have you not seen the airplanes of WW1 era? - wooden frames covered by canvas, mostly bi-planes) The brittish Spad XIII was considered the most modern of the WW1 era, see bottom photo. Messerschmitt BF 109 was introduced just before the war 1937 and flew until collapse of Germany. Horses were used to pull artillery and suppliers in every ww2 war front in Europe. Poland had big cavalry which was slaughtered by german tanks & light artillery in 1939. Also Finland relied on horses to provide supplies and support to army deep in the woods and wilderness. Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted December 31, 2016 Report Posted December 31, 2016 Continuing the previous, warbird theme... Fokker XXI fought in the Spanish civil war 1936. By 1940 it was considered out-dated. However, it was the back-bone of the Finnish air force in the winter war 1939-40, and we got hundreds of wins agains Russians P.S. I hope you know the background of the swastika in the finnish air force ensign? It is far older to the Nazi swastika... Originally it's the symbol of swedish noble-mans family; Count von Rosen presented the first fighter plane to Finnish Army as a gift; It was a Thulin typ D and year was 1918. The Air Force took the swastika symbol to honor Count von Rosen and used it until 1945. 1918 Thulin typ D, design licenced by Morane Saulnier Quote

Two door sedans were the more common police car for the longest time, simply because they were the least expensive car on the market. They were generally the low end trim packages, too. Departments just wanted durable inexpensive cars with big engines. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 1, 2017 Report Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) despite the damage shown, it appears to be on parade under its own power...which leads to part two of this observation....were all the death, injured and total account of accidents this same car....? Inquiring minds NEED to know... Edited January 1, 2017 by Plymouthy Adams 3 Quote
