Classic Cars

[Loloma]

My dad used to race at the speedway on Saturday nights. My Mum got really pissed off with him as he kept on breaking his arms and legs when he crashed. It was an extravagance as there was so many of us to feed, and when he was off work there wasn't much food to eat. Sorry gone completely off the subject. This was in the 50's.

Neat to hear about your upbringing, as mine was early 60's, in rural northern California. We had car stuff too. Say, got any other pics of the custom camper on the family car?

Yes, I have a lot more photo's but I will have to scan them first. My dad also had a car in the 80's that we called the funeral car. A lot of my brothers and sister's died so he used this particular car for funerals. I know, a bit sick, but so were my parents. Next installment coming soon....

The pics I posted were taken at the car show at the local peach festival. I didn't make it this year or last year. I wasn't feeling too great.

Every Monday evening at the local beach here have the car show from May 1st till Oct. 1. Then the owners put them into storage to keep them out of the snow.
