@BAP - as promised. Not the best picture. Just came in. A BF Avery in the background.

The Case 530 may end up on our turntable out front.

PS - if I remember correctly, the front wheels were not painted silver from the factory (?).

My uncle had one similar, don't remember the model. I remember to start it you turned the key on and moved the main shifter to a spring loaded start position, no way to start it in gear.

I don't remember silver wheels either.

Nice tractors. I believe front wheels were Flambeau Orange like the tractor. Although some restorations people paint the centers orange and the rim silver. The pictures are great too.

A few we were working around today. New LED lighting going in. Had to move some around to get at the 45 high bays......

56 Nomad.

56 Packard Caribbean. Dual quads on a 354 (?) ci. Packard made some muscle in the '50's.

Electric cars from 100+ years ago

Thanks for posting so many pics of all these beauties. Pretty amazing stuff your around.

And I have never ever heard of a Cord. That's a rare lookin dude. Hideaway headlights in 37!?

Had a guy in my parents neighborhood turn a 56 nomad into an el camino though. Said he quit taking it to car shows cause of all the scoffing. I was like I bet!

Supercharged and front wheel drive, way ahead of their time. I worked for a guy that made parts for them. Read up on Cords, they have an interesting history.

I’ve been playing with a lot of tractors and trucks lately.

We didn’t even have the lights on while we were moving them around.

Bad pictures and it’s been decorated very nicely for our “Farm to Market” exhibit.

There’s 24 out here, and the Case 530 @BAP was interested in is on a turntable in the front facade.

Are the exhibits all on loan? Or does the museum own them?

Most are on loan.

I was 18 or so out crusing in my elco one night.

A car load of fellers around my age come up along side the ole lady (girlfriend at that time) and me and start buckin this little sedan at us. Which was quite common and happened pretty much every time we took the ole girl out.

Figuring these kids were riding around in momma's car, I said i'd give em a little hit of the elco and let em hear some ponies.

Well, who'd a thunk it, that car walked the freakin dog on me and I saw nothing but taillights.

And that was the night i was introduced to a sho taurus.

Yep that sounds about like when I found about a YANKO Super Nova. Was like WTF did I just see ????
