Taken just the other day in my pop’s man cave, we worked on the ignition system of this old beauty. The Magneto-Battery switch was acting up. The car is not a body-off restoration but a daily driver as I call them. I see plenty of these beautiful old timers slowly buzzing around Las Vegas Valley!
That Alternator is not standard equipment!
HeHe….got to admit that alternator sure looks out of place under the hood! But those old magnetos could sure bite ya!
It screams HEY! I don’t belong here! Nobody got zapped that day, but dad told me the story of back in the day when he raced wooden hydroplanes that run two cycle engines. A 6 cyl. vertical with 6 carbs too. And open exhaust stacks, great memories as a child! The guys would make the challenge – who can keep a finger in the spark plug cap the longest! Man, my dad was a nut!
Love these cars
Hi Kelly, thanks!! My dad still has a few antiques after selling most of them some years ago. 😎
Beautiful old car
