We were able to capture a view of this green Gremlin shortly before it pulled out of the Cruz-In parking lot. I never really considered Gremlins antique before or even seen them in car chows before.

AMC Gremlin’s hatchback

The AMC (American Motors Corporation) Gremlins were introduced in 1970 and were manufactured in the United States between 1970-1978. It was manufactured and marketed in a single two-door body style. The Gremlin was classified as an economy car and competed with the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto, as well as imported cars including the Volkswagen Beetle and Toyota Corolla.

Considering that antique automobiles need to be a minimum of twenty-five (25) – forty-five years old, depending on organization, to be determined an antique; the Gremlins would fit the definition to be classified as an antique.

2024 Thursday Door & Monday Window #13

This is my Thirteenth installment of my combination of Thursday Doors & Monday Window featuring Antique Automobiles.

My dad loved cars shows, history, and anything to do with FORD. He started working for a FORD dealership while in high school in Great Falls, South Carolina. He worked there until he joined the United States Navy in 1948. After leaving the Navy, he again went to work for a FORD dealership. This time he worked of Pearson Ford in San Diego, California and continued working for FORD until he retired.

This week we are continuing with Antique Automobiles from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation with four Antique Automobiles from 1903 – 1952. Displaying the Antique Automobiles from most recent to oldest.

An interesting fact about this 1940 Chrysler Crown Imperial is that it was an Official Parade Car which carried VIPs through New York City for almost 20 years.

It carried more than a hundred dignitaries including politicians, military leaders, diplomats. They rode in the car in ticker-tape parades through Manhattan’s famed “Canyon of Heroes.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ralph Bunche, Winston Churchill and A. Philip Randolph were just some of the parade car’s many distinguished passengers.

***1903 Packard Model F “Old Pacific”***

This 1903 Packard Model F is known as “Old Pacific.” In 1903 it became the second car to cross the United States.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the Antique Automobiles from the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Next week I’ll be showing Automobiles from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana. Till next time, stay safe. Stay Strong. Stay Enthusiastic and Stay Positive.

2024 Thursday Doors & Monday Window #10

This is my Tenth installment of my combination of Thursday Doors & Monday Window featuring Antique Automobiles. For the past seven weeks I’ve been posting Antique Automobiles from California. Last week I will began posting Antique Automobiles from Washington D.C. and this week we are at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan.

First Ford Mustang

This is the ***First Mustang*** to roll off the assembly line. It is on display at the ***Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation*** in Dearborn, Michigan.

I have always loved Ford Mustangs, however, the closest I ever came to owning one was a toy orange mustang Ford came out with back in the 60’s.

I’d love a ride in a Ford Mustang; anyone want to Pull Up a Seat & ride along with me. [This one is NOT for riding in though.] We could ride in a different FORD, but it wouldn’t be the same as riding along the Pacific Coast Highway in an Antique FORD Mustang.

2024 Thursday Doors & Monday Window #7

This is my Seventh installment of my combination of Thursday Doors & Monday Window featuring Antique Automobiles. This is the final one from this batch of antique automobiles from California. Next week I will begin posting Antique Automobiles from Washington D. C. and then moving on to Dearborn, Michigan.

1913 Rolls Royce

Town Carriage

6 Cylinders

After doing a bunch of research, I think the antiques I’ve posted thus far were captured by my dad when they toured The Nethercutt Collection located in Sylmar, California. The Collection houses what it calls “functional fine art.” It contains a collection of pristine vintage automobiles and unique antique mechanical music instruments.

The antique automobiles I have been sharing were photographed by dad when he (possibly we) went to a car show in California way back in July of 1980. My dad loved attending Car Shows and we went to many of them over the years.
