rcollum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Did you get a picture(s) of the Zephyr's engine compartment? Please post if you do. I love flat head V8 and V12 engines. Here are a couple of engine compartment, and an interior shot. This thing is PRISTINE! --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks Bob. Spectacular engine. I wonder where they found the heads and manifold. I'll bet it makes wonderful exhaust sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Skip: Honestly, the Zephyr was very quiet. Here are some shots of another hot rod that arrived with the Zephyr (might both be owned by the same guy). I don't know what the engine was, nor anything else about it - but it's beautiful! --Bob Collum Edited November 16, 2015 by rcollum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The headlights look like '37 or '38 Fords. The grille doesn't match either of them but the general body shape does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 A cold morning at Katie's still brings out lots of people, and as long as it's not raining or snowing (and it wasn't), the turnout of amazing vehicles is still very good. Three Lotus there this morning... I took the elements into account - it was an indicated 33F when I left home - and put some 'weather equipment' on, for the first time. It turns out that, with the doors on but no top, the 20-minute drive to Katie's was NOT BAD! --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) The temperature early this morning was mid-forties! Great for the end of November in Northern VA. A great story today - I'll try to get my facts straight. The 'founder' of this event, Bob Morris, has a neighbor. This woman, Polly, who is now in her eighties, bought an MG-TC new in 1957. The car has sat, unused in a barn on her property since the late 1970's. Bob pulled the car out, and sent it out to be restored for her. It was completed this week, and Bob M arranged for Polly to come up and see the car, restored, for the first time. Here are some pictures of her re-introduction to her car. This was great to see! We got some pictures of Polly, with Bob M, and Polly's daughter, posing with the MG. Not exactly a barn find, but it WAS in a barn! --Bob Collum Edited November 29, 2015 by rcollum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Of course, there were other nice cars there today, too... --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Contrary to the thread title, no Sevens at Katie's today - I drove my Elise. A cold morning, but a good crowd at Katie's anyway. Here are some new ones to us. It's still amazing how we have cars showing up that we have not seen before. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 More from today... We had two Lincoln Zephyrs there today, one an amazing custom, the other original. Of course, we had a Christmas tree! --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcollum Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I was out of town on 12/12/15, so it was nice to get back to see what's happening at Katie's. A cold but clear morning, less than a week before Christmas - a really great turnout!The first picture is of a Callaway Z06. The Carrera GT was brought by Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth. --Bob Collum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
