All Ford Meet in Graham Washington

Labor Day, September 3, 2000

 

This location brings back many memories for me. I moved to USA from Sweden in 1982, and I was just getting to know some friends that I have met thru the local Chevy Classic Club. I had just sold my 427 powered 4 speed 1957 Chevy in Sweden in order to move here, and I was missing my shoebox. One of the club members was going to a meeting here, and he offered me a ride in his yellow '57 Chevy. I was quick to accept. I needed to look out over those hood spears again. I did a article about that meet for a now defunct Swedish car magazine, Start & Speed. (What a great name!) 

Today, the event was an All Ford meet. It was obviously not to strict on the corporate loyalty, since a fair amount of GM and other brands were present. I like a good mix, everything from Hot Rods, Muscle Cars to Fifties cruisers all have something to offer.

This super clean Mercury with Plexiglas roof was a joy to inspect. Super sano interior, it even had curtains to cover the Plexiglas when it gets too hot. Check out that steering wheel. 

1957 Lincoln Premier Convertible is something you don't see everyday. This car a very nice example.

Ford 3 window coupe Instead of the usual small block Chevy, this coupe was motivated by a Ardun Hemi converted flat head. Right On!

The mandatory Deuce fender-less highboy was present. This one with refreshing Big Block power. 

 

Rio red 1958 Chevrolet convertible. This one is mostly stock, but it is sporting a tuck & roll interior. Debbie would have liked that...
