Old Cars
While my husband was growing up, he would often ride with his father and his brother during the two hour drive to visit his grandmother in Ewing, KY. To pass the time, everyone would take turns calling out the make and models of the vintage cars that appeared over the horizon. An early interest in automobiles turned into a life long enjoyment of tinkering on these beautiful works of art.
1965 Ford F600 Flatbed Dump Truck
We found this beauty in Central Kentucky. She spent most of her life inside of a barn and had been well maintained by the owner of the original farm she was purchased to support. With just over 60,000 miles she's seen just enough time on the road to keep her in top shape while preserving her to use for decades to come. As you can see, she still has her chores to do around the farm, but she gets to model from time to time as a photo prop for farm weddings and rustic photo shoots.
1970 Plymouth Satellite
This isn't your typical 1970 Plymouth Satellite. Originally from New Hampshire, this vehicle underwent a complete restoration over 15 years ago. The car boasts a completely renovated interior, an upgraded engine (383) with some mild modifications, a 727 transmission with a shift kit and ratchet shifter, a power bulge hood off of a Roadrunner, and many more updates, too numerous to mention. The kids grew up calling this daddy's 'Hot Ride' and it turns heads every time it hits the road. This car is certainly no trailer queen and has held her own on the strip (boasting a victory over a 1971 Roadrunner 440 6-pack at the Mopar Nationals).
1956 International School Bus
Our most recent acquisition, this 1956 International School bus with a Superior bus body (Toledo, OH) is on its way to becoming the family RV. It most recently hailed from Minnesota and has already had most of the mechanicals gone through so that it runs and stops as it should. We've completely gutted the interior and are in the process of getting the physical structure of the bus ready for a custom fitted interior. At the same, time we're prepping the exterior for a fresh coat of paint in a two tone color scheme. Can't wait to hit the road in this beauty and create some memories. After it's finished, we expect to use it as a spare room for friends and guests to stay in while visiting the farm. Not your typical bed and breakfast accomodations.
