“They say Fort Stockton remembers things the way a screen door remembers wind. Not perfectly, not completely, but enough to make you swear something passed through.
The story of the Lincoln started that way.
It was the summer of 1937 when the couple arrived at the Cattle Baron Hotel, slipping into town like they had taken a wrong turn somewhere east of Dallas and decided not to correct it. The car came first, of course. Folks always remember the car before they remember the people.
Long…”

“My first awesome car! Bought slightly used in 1993, it was the dark grey color, almost black, and I put a 1″ drop on it with 16″ Momo 5 spoke wheels. Had a killer sound system in it and absolutely loved that car. Had it stolen in Seattle and recovered a few weeks later pretty much stripped out. Just didn’t feel the same anymore so sold it for what I could and moved on to a Toyota truck. Have owned damn near every Honda since then — Odyssey, Ridgeline, Accord and 2 generations of Civic…”

“wow, I used to service this car . worked for Ghent Motor Co. in 64 and 65. I wonder which salesman they bought it from, Bill Powers or Tex Perkins. Salesmen got 50$ a car back then.”

“What an incredible experience it’d be to drive Carroll Shelby’s GT500 along the Greek coast, windows down, as the sun sets in the Mediterranean before shipping this to its new home.”

“So far ahed of its time! Monocoque body, V4, independent front suspension, coil springs… …items most manufacturers would not adapt until decades later…
What a magnificent machine!

“Beautiful car. I started at Cadillac in 1957 and the finished Broughams were moved to the executive garage for final inspection and cleanup. I had a small part of that process.
Later in the early 1960s when I worked in the Cadillac parts warehouse on Riopelle and we were surprised by the volume of spring replacement spring kits we were selling for this car. I recall we sold more replacement kits than the number of Broughams built. In many cases Cadillac replaced the air bags with springs…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“in 1979 I was working at the old Hughes Aircraft facility in Culver City – right on the ocean where the Spruce Goose was built. We were building the F18 radar there and one of the most experienced radar engineers was Lee Spalding, USC trained, grew up in Gardena and lived in PalosVerdes, He had one of these. It was his daily driver and it had a great deal of miles on it – all original. During the winter he was having trouble with it running – he did all of the work – and we discussed the…”

“This car was in our family from 1987-2001, I restored it for my Dad while going to college, went 10.60’s with a 440 when we had it. Neat to see it again.”

“I used to own this car in the late 80’s early 90’s. the first owner Dave McKenna told me that Chrysler engineers told him that Chrysler used the thinnest gauge metal to stamp out the entire bodies of the Maxwedge cars making them about 400LBS lighter than the production model Savoys. We wighed this car at the race track and it weighed 3250Lbs a little more than our 70 340 Duster. Most people were unaware of this slight of hand. Chevy, Ford and Pontiac weighed 3800-4100Lbs in 62 giving the…”

“An AMC Hornet on a rotisserie…now that’s something you don’t often see. I like it. The dedication taken to not only restore, but improve upon this perpetual underdog is quite admirable. Bravo! Outstanding results. This noteworthy malaise should get nothing but praise.

“Could be a straightforward project for Marcos lovers who want to experience ownership. Perhaps a marque expert could chime in on whether the steel frame is of similar configuration to the original plywood ones and where the potential trouble spots might be before asking for more info from the seller. Lewes is a beach town if it originated there then factor in corrosion potential, and one of the road wheels shows signs of same. B18’s are usually bulletproof and agriculturally simple. Send the…”

“In the late 60’s early 70’s between the ages of 8-12 my dad would take me to a little known dragstrip in Laplace LA about 25 miles west of NO…He would take me into the pit and there I met Big Daddy Don Garlits…he was in the back of the pits with his front engine rail with just a few guys as his crew…loved drag racing every since…saw all the superstars Sox & Martin – Don “The Snake” Prudhomme – Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen – Shirley Muldowney – Jungle Jim – Danny “The Flying Hawalian”…”
