Oldtimers Port Angeles

Here is a 1935 Ute. Some Utes from Australia where coupe style but some Roadster cowls were made,about 400 I am told. These bodies are usually beat to death.Those long straight sides are nice!


This Merc is very rare! When I lived in New Zealand I saw a Ford but no Mercs. One style I liked was the 49-52 and the 53-54 body style.
This Merc has been converted to Left hand drive,A lot easier than getting a Left hand and taking down South and converting to RH drive.




How about this? Lots of work done here!


These four door converts are so nice.


Some nosy old guy looking at the jag rear suspension ,Same as I have  in my truck.


I Like this front with the Nostrils closed in.


 That is what I have done and used a 48 Car hood ornament. Of course the Merc grill.

Down town Havana.

Cuba Si.
How about this gal! Big Cigar.
 Best Idea I have seen for a cannon!
 Havana has beautiful  Architecture! But because the citizens can not get any paint or do not have any Peso,s they do not make any improvments. What a shame!

Cuba SI

 This is Revolution Square. Fidel and Che.  Interesting that there is nothing for sale  of Fidel? Absolutely nothing! It is like he never was there. Lots of Che ,He seems to be Idolized?

 I have never seen so many 49 Plymouth ribbed bumpers! Man oh man I looked all over to get two for my truck project.

Seems like 49-52 Dodge and Plymouth held up well? Lots of 49-52 Chevs but very few Fords, Like hardly any?
There are more convertables in Havana than any where. Out in the Boonies and on the dirt roads are lots of old Mopar products.

More Havana

I liked this old Chev wagon.

Chev like ours but a four door and it has the fancy extra fender birds.

This what I call a fine example of Detroit decadence!


We went into this fancy pre revolution hotel
Went through the Lobby and up the old elevator to the top. We walked around and Took some photos of the city square and some of the thousands of cars around it. Nice!



Havana Cuba.

Sent some time in Havana last week.
What a city! These are just a few of what we saw.

How about a Crown Vic!

 Most of the cars are powered by four cylinder diesels! But the cars look great!
These two I think were stock or close to it.
This 50 Buick was really something! I spent some time with my very rudimentary Spanish and the owner said his family has had the car for years. He lifted the hood and it has a four cylinder diesel  Turbo with an inter cooler! Four wheel disc brakes hand fabricated and power assist.
