Hey Alex, Absolutely love this car. If ever you decide to sell it (whether in the near or distant future), please be sure to contact me. I will buy it. By the way, while I'm here, I'd like to say thanks for all the great videos. Been following you since way before you purchased Mary's house. Quite apart from the interesting content you provide, your innate integrity and the respect you show everyone you deal with is what keeps me coming back. All the very best to you and your delightful family.

I now must go searching through old family photos as there was one of my grandmother as she was getting out of one of those cars after arrival on one of their trips. I’m hoping I find it and that she wrote which park on the back and wouldn’t it be cool if it’s a picture of the one Alex bought. I’ll send Alex a copy should I find it. She was born in 1904 and passed away at the age of 101 and was telling stories of her life right up until the end. Many of her stories were of their many trips.

vinyl1Earthlink, I've lost count at the number of vinyl albums I have. Kind of like the corny old potato chip commercial, you can't have just one. Thrift stores, antique shops, yard sales and eBait have been my downfall. I've set aside one bedroom in my house for my music collection and it is full! Also reel to reel tapes, 8-tracks, cassettes and a collection of CD's along with all the equipment needed to play it all. Sterile sounding CD's are okay but I still love the sound of an old classic vinyl record best. Ever since the Chinese came out with the cheap junk under various old-time great brands to fake people out but all being a Crosley, record prices have started to get higher and higher.

I stuck to my Dad like glue he had severe heart problems and taught me at about 8yrs old how to get his legs moved put his pill under his tounge and pull the car over and call for help on the CB radio. Scared me half to death myself he pr ef tended to pass out! But I did it! He was so happy he was laughing. He passed away about a year later. It was white over deep red. I always liked the vents on the sides. I have alot of great memories with him. Thanks for shareing all you do.

Dent tricks - try this before the hammer. take a deflated soccer ball and place it behind the dent. The soccer ball goes between the dent and what ever you use to brace the ball. Next add air to the ball. You can use different sized balls on different sized dents. Hammers are a last resort and they take some talent to use them without stretching the metal.

Alex, In the forties Dad purchased an old woody for use as a farm vehicle. The wood and cloth had rotted away, so he stripped it down and planked the back and turned it into a truck. I will always remember , bumping through the chicken range with grain sacks for the chickens. Years later after the car had been "retired", I opened up the windshield washer casing which was over the from window of the vehicle. It was clean and shiny like a Swiss watch real craftsmanship! I just love your modified Woody, it has so much class ,but it doesn't have the throttle and choke controls attached to the steering wheel. Thanks for the memories, Cheers, Rik Spector
