Guess where is the Ford V-8 (update: 1937 Model 78 Roadster)



Yes, in the main picture there is a 1937 Ford V-8 Cabriolet. And it´s not dismantled or incomplete; the car is in reasonably good conditions. Could you guess where it is? If you don´t believe us please check this picture (2) of a closer view taken after some minutes moving the surrounding stuff. And that´s what I had to do personally. After many visits to this old workshop - open since the late 1950s - one day the owners told me "in the background we have the V-8". At a first glance to this part of the workshop I only discovered tons of old parts of all kinds, mixed with antiquities such as old toys, bicycles or mannequins (photo 3). So I though that they were referring to a spare engine. They answered me "no, we have the entire car there", and then we started to remove piles of parts and furniture in order to move forward to the inside and unearth the Ford. And yes, they weren´t lying to me. Finally the most interesting of this "cave" was all the automobilia surrounding the car (photo 4 & 5), as this forgotten vehicle is planned to be parked there many years more. At least until all the material surrounding would be relocated!    Text and photos Francisco Carrion

Politi, dont think its a horn, but the mortal remains of a Household Fan, the blades are missing, but the drive shaft can be seen sticking out.

Nice but sad car. That is why I sell stuff that I don't need anymore every few months online. Money in the wallet takes less space :-)

The inevitable consequence of having too much space! The junk expands to fill the space available - we all know that.
