Jim purchased the car from his Father in 1977. It was in a local barn, unrestored, and in disassembled pieces. Jim partially restored it over the course of seven years, drove it in the mid-80s, and then put it on blocks in 1988. The car was re-registered and on the road again in 2001. It underwent body off restoration in 2004. It has a trunk, not a rumble seat, so it has plenty of space for those overnight trips! Henry Ford was said to have driven a Special Coupe in 1929.

1929 Cabriolet owned by Dob and Shirley Dobbe of Faucett, MO

"These pictures represent complete restoration of our 1929 Cabriolet almost nine years ago. We have driven "Bess" over 56,000 miles since. She's a super road car, hiding a B cam and B head for a good 50 HP and easy 55 MPH driving. Also running a 6# pressurized cooling system to aid that small 1929 radiator."

1929 Tudor Sedan owned by Carl Coffman of Shawnee, OK

"We bought this 1929 Tudor Sedan in October, 1964 for $70. The Tudor had no top, no interior, no windows and no paint. As you can see by the "before" picture I did some "poor boy" work to check the rust. I installed a solid plywood top and hand painted it with a brush. Even though this was not a good thing to do, my efforts did preserve it until 1997, when I began a two year, frame off restoration. In September, 1999, the finished product became road worthy as shown in the "after" picture. "

1930 Sport Coupe owned by Dick and Paula Janson of Rehoboth, MA.

"I just completed a frame up restoration. I performed almost all the work myself over the last 2 1/2 years. Engine work was done by Mike Worster in Dublin NH. The car is Andalusite Blue with French Gray wheels. I still need to pin stripe the car. I am trying to muster up enough courage to do that myself. Top and interior are LeBaron Bonney kits that I installed. I used a German Sonnenland canvas for outside, interior has the separate liner to match interior trim. It was quite a project but I had a lot fun doing it. I am looking forward to driving to club functions starting this spring.

1930 Standard Coupe owned by Bobby Chaisson of Jefferson GA.

"My 1930 Standard coupe was purchased in 1930 by my great grandfather. It was driven here on our farm for quite sometime, then parked in one of the barns here where it remained till 2 years ago. In November of 2004 restorer Benny Bohanan came to the house and picked up the car. Work started the next week on the car and continued till April 11, 2006 when I took the car home. I started helping Benny part time on my car and it has now turned into a full time job working for Benny. I was able to do a lot of the work myself."

1931 (Early) Victoria Owned by Bill Buckmeyer, Westlake, Texas.

When I began the restoration, the lower body color was Brewster Green, and the upper body was black, with Apple Green wheels. I have always liked the Chicle and Copra Drab color combination with Tacoma Cream wheels and stripe, so that's what I went with.

1931 Wide Bed Steel Top Pickup Owned by Dick & Nan Sparks, Holly Lake Ranch, TX.

"This is a before/after shot of my 1931 wide bed steel top pickup. I purchased the truck in 2004 and completed it in 2008. It was in bad shape with lots of rust. The entire lower cab was replaced. It is stock except for a 3:54 rear end. It is the toughest restoration I've done and took twice as many hours as most others. It is a fun driver and a big favorite here in east Texas where pickups are king. I'm 6'2" & 300 lbs. so I named the pickup "Tight Fit".
