I don't know the backstory... All I know really know is that one of our member has one hell of a family album. But don't take my word for it...
 
Thanks Ryan, I was thrilled to get these pics from my uncle of my car when he and dad used to drive the car on Cocoa Beach and "go trolling"

I sure hope that you still have the car ! If not, do you know what happened to it ? It just might still be around !

Thanks fella's! I like to think my family has done well in that department. lol Yes I still have the car, it’s been in the family since 1939. First my Grandfather, father, and now mine. To me it’s not just a car but a family heirloom.

wow!
 
Your great family pictures have inspired me to share what I found in the "Family Shoebox".

Warning: Not all are Fords.

1. Mum and Dad proudly wrote "Our Ford" on the photo of their 1930. Can't quite makeout if it's a Tudor or Fordor.

2. Dad (left) and his buddy pose on the "T", September 1927.

Yep, I should have put a *tic* with my tie comment.

All of my dad's ties from back then were only have way down to the belt. Now days they are just over the belt.

I'm just amazed that my parents could afford a new Ford during the depression. They also seemed to have very nice clothes.

Dad must have remained employed. Wish they were still around...so many questions. :(

please tell Coach Qualls hello. I graduated from C of O in 1983. Went to visit him, and brought back a 30.
