Lots of great memories and three generations surrounding the LJ. A similar story with me but surrounding a '27 Model T. I was kind of raised around it and still own it. First picture is when my dad brought it home in 1966, that's me with the hat, then a few in the '70's playing around with it. Up through '80's. It survived my teenage years, for a little bit it was a daily driver. First restoration was really sticking it back together, I had no real money for it. Second restoration was late '80's early '90's. My dad helped me re-wood about half the body. I've been all over New England in it and hauled it to Colorado on the back of the B42 to go on a national T tour in the Rocky Mountain NP in 2005.

Nice car. My friend Charlie White had one like it only it was green. I really liked that car. The Whites had a farm near me in Bensalem, and they never got rid of anything, They kept a lot of it in beautiful condition. If you have been going to Macungie for a while there used to be a red 1913? IH 2 cylinder high wheeler there almost every year. That was his.

He also had a green 1911 Autocar 4 cylinder flatbed. I'm thinking it was maybe like 6 ton capacity. Charlie still used that in the early 60's to haul chickens down to Camden NJ. I asked him how the trip was. He said "Millie had to make dinner late those nights"
