JerseyGator Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Took it out to a show last night and took some pics. Won a trophy for nicest truck! Was the oldest there also... Notice the bucket! Ain't no shine like and Adams shine! The black car besides me had swirls galore! He uses Mcguires. Think I may have converted him to Adams. Trophy after I got home... Loved this pic. Can you find me? Can you find the Adams banner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Congrats Pete...It is always a little nicer when you come home with the trophy. Nice looking truck. It is amazing when you see the other cars with all the swirl marks and they don't even recognize that they are there. Have you built the trophy case yet? I get pressure from my wife to build one every year. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks Tom... It's like AJ say's, "They are stuck in the Matrix." I feel it is my responsibility to unplug them from it. Going to have to build a case. Shelf in garage is getting crowded! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGator Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Awesome! I love the oldies! What's written on the back behind the seat? Chris The truck has been in my family for 73 years. My grandfather purchased it in 1937 for the farm. Hauled hay to the cows and stuff like that. Then in the late 50's my mother used the car to haul her high school friends around. She wrote thier names on the back wall. Judi (my mom), Di, Chita and Rosie. She even wrote on the the steering wheel. Kool Kitten, Sho Nuf, Who Me? and Go Daddy! My father even did some resto in the 60's. I repainted it all after restoration. See pic. Original paint on bottom and repainted on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Peter, that is waaaay cool to have something like that in your family.
