The Holiday motor tour was another fun event – low stress, relaxing, a good day out with the cars and the car people!
.
there’s Kenny, the fearless leader, with the sign that everyone wants to see – the tour is ready to start! It should be noted that we were dealing with serious weather conditions! There are CLOUDS in the sky! It was SO COLD that almost everyone had to wear a JACKET ! Even under these barbaric conditions, the tour went on, demonstrating the fortitude and strength of the old car hobbyists!
We finally followed the rules and brought a pre- 1933 automobile!
A great ’28 Auburn Speedster!
A regular car you’d think it just blew up the transmission! But with a Stanley steamer, it’s just a sign that it’s running! By the way, I’ve got a couple of Stanley engines for sale, click here to see ’em!
A Model “A” Duesenberg hot rod, with Chrysler roadster body!
’32 Cadillac V-12 convertible sedan
3 Wheel Morgan – that’s gotta be a kick to drive ( ride? )
Oldsmobile, I’m guessing a 1918 or so.
’31 Auburn
Packard model 18 touring, a veteran of these tours.
Late Lincoln “L” Touring
Here’s a perfect California shot – Palm trees, mountains, and a nice Model A Streetrod. Well not quite perfect, there are those pesky clouds!
Real grapes of wrath type stuff on this Chrysler!
1915 Franklin Roadster.
Spectacular restoration on a LeBaron bodied Lincoln!
Lincoln dual cowl phaeton!
’32 Packard Dual Cowl Phaeton!
Now that is a cool hood ornament!
The gold standard of the Pre-1915 era, the Pierce-Arrow.
The hitchhiker has been in the bed of the truck for a LONG time !
Another giant of the horseless carriage era, the Thomas Flyer
Detroit Rock city? No. Detroit Electric, a silent reminder to Toyota that the Prius isn’t the first electric car by a long shot!
Another electric car, didn’t get the ID on it.
That’s a big deal motorcycle, a Henderson X four cylinder. Ridiculous horsepower with no – zero – nada – rear suspension. those motorcycle dudes were even crazier back then than they are now!
pretty Indian V-twin motorcycle.
Super rare ’32 Nash. I noted some disc brakes on the car.
We move solidly into the latter half of the last century with these Panteras! Notice the modern wheels that are patterned after the originals.
This one reminded me of the street racing days – a ratty chevelle with some HUGE tires underneath – Look slow but go fast!
Ok I’ll stop with all these modern cars now !!
There, that’s better – a ’32 Chrysler CH, the big 385 cubic inch Chrysler.
Classic hot rod
’30 Packard Dual Cowl phaeton!
there’s Carburetor Karl riding the Pierce Motorcycle
Nice 1911 Cadillac. Not too often you see one of these parked on the street in urban Los Angeles!
Or a big Pierce-Arrow?
As long as you were properly attired you could survive the harsh winter conditions of the tour!
