 Ok... I think I've posted enough photos of antique automobiles.  Well at least for now.

1930 Flint Model B40 Touring Sedan

Mystic, CT  2020

 I never heard of a Flint automobile before.  This one is a beauty.

1914 Model T

Mystic, CT  2020

It has been a number of years since I have been able to attend the annual antique auto show at Mystic Seaport.  Due to Covid19, the number of autos on display was much fewer than in previous years, but so were the crowds.  I think this is a Model T.

 

Austin Healey's

Mystic, CT  2020

As I entered Mystic Seaport recently to look at their antique marine engine displays I was a little too late to see a bunch of Austin Healey autos which had gathered.

1964 Ford Falcon Futura

Old Ford Truck

New London, CT  2017

Obviously a work in progress....  I was more interested in the name on the door, "Pleasant Days, Short Hills, NJ".   I grew up not too far from Short Hills, NJ but have no recollection of such a place or business, but this truck is lot older than I am.  

Win This

New London, CT  2017

I saw this Mustang at a couple of festivals this year.  It was being raffled off as part of a fund raiser for a local Lion's Club.  I have a hard time believing this car is already considered to be a "classic" or "antique", since I was young teenager, just becoming interested in cars when the Mustang was introduced.  I even learned to drive a stick shift in my father's Mustang.  I almost bought a raffle ticket. 

Indian X4

Springfield, MA  2017

When the Ford Model T began to sell at a price less than an Indian V-Twin Chief, sales of Indian motorcycles fell.  The company went into the auto business in 1926  and designed four automobiles, this being the last, the X4.  The company was perfecting this design just as the stock market crashed in 1929 and it never went into production as the company was forced to sell its automobile business.

1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Picadilly Roadster

Springfield, MA  2017

This Rolls was once owned by S. Prestly Blake, a co-founder of the Friendly Ice Cream Co, an institution throughout New England.

1928 Rolls Royce Phantom I

Springfield, MA  2017

For a short time Rolls Royce had a manufacturing facility in Springfield to make their luxury cars for the US market.  This Phantom I was made in Springfield.

1993 Springfield Duryea

Springfield, MA  2017

This is an original copy of the first successful gasoline-powered automobile built in 1993.  It was built to commemorated the first test drive that vehicle in Springfield 100 years earlier.

Chevy

Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT  2016

It's only fitting that if you have some antique marine engines and perhaps an antique boat, that you would need an antique car to tow them all around.  This Chevy looked in fine shape.

1931 Ford Model A Pick Up Truck

Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT  2016

I found this antique pick up truck, tucked behind the some of the antique marine engines on display during the annual Antique Marine Engine Expo held at Mystic Seaport.
