I love the pierce arrow cars from the 1920's. My favorite one is a 1919 pierce arrow model 66 A toring car coustimized by harely earl for the famous actor/stand up comedian harold loyd. That car is huge if you see it in person! It's a purple sedan with all white tires.

Sorry to bump my own thread but if you like to see more Amelia Concours Highlights from a real Pro you can check them out here:

Hey, we can still dream. Thanks for the feedback. I was beginning to wonder if there were any true car nuts here besides myself and a few others. You've restored my faith.

I'll see what I can dig up on the white one, I have the official Program.....somewhere.

Yeah, I like all kinds of cars. I love the rat rod/tradtionial kustoms cars, but I also admire the classics. I run a small restoration shop, and work on mostly british stuff. Ive got an Austin Healey, and a couple Triumphs in the shop right now. I do American cars also, I have 39 Lasalle sedan, 57 corvette, and a 67 Cadillac Convertible here too. I dont get to go to as many shows as I used to though. I get my daughter on the weekends and she gets bored out of her mind at car shows.

Thanks, friend. Love cars! I am a Gearhead. Worked as an automobile mechanic and engineer for 38 years, and loved every minute of it. If I could go do it today, I would. I have built many hot rods, custom cars, dirt track and demolition cars, lawyers and doctors cars, and common people's cars. Evey aspect, from suspension to engine tech, ignition systems, manual and automatic transmissions, braking systems, steering components and alignment, paint and body, crash damage repair, etc. I stuffed a 350 Chevy into a Pontiac Fiero, I put a 455 Stage 3 Olds big block, duel quads and racing heads into a 66 Chevelle, and another 455 Olds into a 1980 Pontiac Bonneville. On that one we had to lower the engine into the frame 3 inches, and move it back 3 1/2 inches, but the headers went right on, so did the starter.

I rolled a semi over in 1985 that effectively ended my mechanical career. All I can do not is fix computers, and I have to say, that is lacking by comparison.

Hey atuowrench! Sucks that that happened to you. But I like both computers and engine mechanics. I learned allot about computers from a guy that fixed my operating system and my dad taught me engines. Computers is a growing industry so you will have allot to do with working on computers if you keep at it. It's kind a fun to.
