The Beagle Log, 29 May 2008 - Car For Sale

Good Morning All,

Do I have a deal for you!

One vintage car slightly used - some assembly required.

Several weeks ago, I was at an antique car swap meet and I thought this would make a great picture. No, I’m not into old cars, my eldest son Brian is. He was testing the market for sale of his 1961 Ford.

Does anyone have old cars for toys? What make and year?

Too many! but Ivor tries to bring more home weekly as hes currently working in a scrap yard and feels sorry for the old cars. He would like to bring the Ford 2000E Estate home but I said no and I said no to the vauxhall viva and the morris minor split screen.

Hi all.
Maxine, I hope you're feeling better and keep smiling.
The morris split screen is a classic, give the man a break.
Welcome back home Gillian. Our Lynne came back last Thursday and said she'd had mixed weather, although she was still as brown as a berry.
Don that car looks really good. The style and lines are beautiful. I would love a car like that to renovate. What model is it Don? In Canada I used to drive a GMC Jimmy. Man I loved that truck.
I'll put a picture up one day.

Love to all
Daz

Daz,

I'm guessing the car is a mid-30’s Ford or Chevy. It would be fun to tool around in a rebuilt one. Gas mileage would probably be better then most of today's cars.

In the late 70’s we had GMC Suburban a great "family car" and a forerunner of today’s SUVs. The only downside was gas mileage. It got less than 10 miles/gal regardless of speed or driving conditions.
