CARS

This smooth lookin' car should be retired.  Why?  Because it's 65 years old!  It's a 1947 Ford.


When it was brand new, it probably sold for around $2,500.  Restored, with all original parts, it will cost a bit more.


The car is parked outside Empty Pockets Garage in Prescott Valley, Arizona, which advertises that they work on "street rods & customs."

Here's another one parked in front of the garage.

  
This one is a 1934 Ford.  But I wouldn't have had to tell you that.  All you'd have to do is get behind the proud owners' "set of wheels".

  2. Please mail me the keys to the '47 Ford. And I don't care that it gets crappy mileage. It's perfect for my Chattmobile.

  7. Empty Pockets Garage? Is that what you have after you take your car to them for service?

    I like old cars in stock condition, just like God and Henry Ford made them.
