BACK IN THE DAY…

Why do I find myself using this or a similar phrase so much more often these days?  I’m afraid to even offer an answer to that loaded question!  However, this time I can honestly say that “Back in the Day” of this exquisite specimen of Detroit’s finest, was “Back in the Day” before Steve!!  This is definitely a Pre-Steve model!

🙂

I came across this car only a few blocks from my home and had to stop to capture it! I’m not sure of the make or the year for that matter.  But, it is a spectacular example of the craftsmanship Detroit was capable of producing “Back in the Day!”

Can you imagine “scooping the loop” in this beauty!!

Any ideas as to the details of this car?  I hope someone can help us out.

  2. Steve- It’s a ’36 Ford Roadster (convertible, of course). Nicely restored!

    My grandfather owned a Ford dealership during this era.

  4. Getting dressed up, sitting close by your sweetie, listening to your favorite music, checking out the other cars/guys/gals/everything – oh, back in the day for sure. 🙂 Scooping the loop – never forget it!

  7. Lynda and all other curious souls – “Scooping the Loop” is what we called cruising around our little downtown area in the evening. It was in the shape of a loop and it would not be uncommon to make more than 100 laps before you might head over to the A&W for a root beer float and onion rings!! In those days we spend a lot of time in our cars!!
