Well as some of you folks may have read I was looking for a Tri Five Ford to use as my Gasser project. I picked Ford simple because while I have sevreal Tri Five Chevys, they pretty much own the gasser world. I wanted something that would in the end be different. I had found quite a few Fords for sale but nothing that really got my blood to pumping if you know what I mean.
When I decided to go Nostalgia racing there were more than one type of car at the head of my list. While I dearly love all of my Chevys I wanted different. The cars that I would have chosen were Willys, Anglia but always way up there in front was a 49,50 or 51 Olds. Well all of those were just as popular to everyone else as they were to me. And with prices to match. About two months or so ago I had traded my old 46 Ford 2 dr sedan to a feller in Kentucky who had one of those old Oldsmobile's, I had tried and tried to by that thing but he just wanted more money than I was willing to pay, and really wasn't all that interested in selling at all.
Well he called me up tonight just to shot the bull about our trade and we got to talking. I told him about my Sedan Delivery that I had just bought and he wanted to see some pictures. I sent him a few and he called back an hous or so later and now he was offering me a trade. Sedan Delivery for his 1951 Olds that actually was raced as a gasser years ago. Engine has changed and it is a 4 speed car even with a little real history. I jumped on that, I have way less into this Chevy than anyone would believe anyways and he wanted a small fortune for the Olds. So I leave here Wednesday morning for a little road trip, told him I would gladly come to him as part of the deal.
here's a few pic's let me know what you think.
