POWELL PIC

Good morning, Dave....nice picture.
Since it is a morning shot, I take it it's from the east.

Proverbs of our ancestors that usually never fail:
"Alba rossa chiama pioggia" ( Red dawn called rain )....rhymes in italian

I never venture out when dawn is that beautiful, the other way around if it's at sunset.

Something about old Fords and old Penns.....

alantani · February 05, 2013, 05:22:49 AM

had one of these as a teenager. it was a '54 ford, just 2 years older than me! had a little 4 banger engine. the battery box was located in the floorboard on the passengers side and could be accessed from a built in hatch. you could put a small ice chest in place of the battery and then cover the hatch with carpet. never did that, of course, but thought about it!

Classic, I had a 48 ford bonus with a 302 cleveland and holden front end in it. When I first got it it had huge rear tires which were fun in the dry but it handled like a dog on wet lino in the wet.Had to get some saner tires after an incident that made me nearly wish I had worn brown trousers. Good times, thanks for the pic.

Btw that wasn't a misprint, the Cleveland dies ended up with Ford Australia and they destroked the 351 to 302 so they wouldn't have to import the Windsor anymore. The Windsor was a better motor though, I think Ford Australia made the last Clevelands for De Tomaso in the mid 80s.

de tomaso? you mean as in the de tomaso pantera?

raumati01 · February 05, 2013, 06:34:08 AM

Yep that De Tomaso, they used the four bolt main 4v heads and I think they had a four weber set up which must have been a nightmare to tune. I've only ever seen one, I heard they had huge rust issues that lead to a recall in the 70s.
