Mountain Mania

We started the day again heading for a garage sale off Waters Rd. They advertised Craftsman tools and some welding machines. The tools were pretty old and the prices seemed high to me. One of the features of Mountain Mania this year was city wide garage sales. They printed a map of the locations and there seemed to be quite a few people walking around town going to them.

As we were walking around looking at the cars and going to garage sales, I saw this 37 Ford. The folks had a 39 very similar to it when I was a kid. The ignition on the Flathead V-8's was down low on the front of the engine. Once when we were coming back from Grandma Jarvi's during the 1949 high water the tide had came in and we had to drive through water. The car quit half way through. The Oregon DOT had a truck there and it pushed us out and used a fire extinguisher to dry the distributor.

This is looking West, there was a real variety of cars.

Looking towards the drug store, looks like the Chevy area.

I expected a V-8 in the this 29 Ford, but it had a 3.8 liter V-6.

Our last stop was for Ice Cream for me and a Smoothie for Vera at the new place where Laury is working. It was getting pretty warm by then so we headed home to the air conditioning. Vera read and I worked on planes and my prop box the rest of the day.
