The Desoto FORD garage !!

Thought some of you old timers may be interested in this (maybe even some of the young guys).

A friend, who has visited this area, sent this to me. He spoke of it in a recent phone conversation. He IS NOT the author of the information.

This "ol guy" is incredible......


It's called GrandPa's Old Ford Garage, in Desoto Kansas, which is 20 miles west of Kansas City.

Enjoy!!

Oh, I forgot to say....there is 4 pages. Make sure you click the link on the bottom of the page. I almost missed them, with all the "advertising" on the page.

I love it! Sure beats the hell out of greeting customers at WalMart.

That "boat tail" is super clever. The lines from that hood are perfect! Also liked seeing the old Studebaker as I have an original "Big 6" studebaker engine, with about 200 hours on it that has been stored since 1938, no idea what to do with it, but bet this guy could come up with something.
