2015 BCC Ford Picnic - Sunday, June 7

[SmithKid]

A few more pics of my favorite cars at this event. The '58 Ranchero was built by a man that has passed on and is now owned by his daughter (the lady in the pic). Beautiful car with 292 Y-block with AC, PS, and backed by a newer 5-speed. The other car was called a "rich man's rat rod" by one our members. It has a Bricklin drive train, leather interior, hand-built top, and a brush applied gray paint job. Check out the custom air cleaner (top end of an antique outboard motor).

Yes, it was a pretty quiet day at the BCC show. Maybe too many other shows this weekend. Maybe Mecum, but I think that was only Fri-Sat. But maybe everyone decided to sell their cars on Fri-Sat? It was too bad more of us didn't make it this year, we usually have a lot of us there, but we did get a nice place with some shade.

Here is Lance's (user: 64SprintV8) K-code 64 Fairlane. Pretty rare beast apparently. 99.683% of all other Fairlanes built were not [like] that one. Good chatting with him. He had the Pertronix issue on another thread http://www.rainierfalcons.com/forums...ead.php?t=2730 which turned out to be the Pertronix unit thermo-failing.

Here's a Bronco for Steve's (user: Doghows) enjoyment. He's into these. He could have bought it for a mere $35K

We were all a bit surprised when John Henry's Falcon pulled up followed by his F1 pickup. We all discovered long after-the-fact of his passing and his wife Jeanie and daughter Sarah drove in the Falcon and a friend (who is buying it) drove in with the pickup. We offered our condolences and offered any help they may need keeping the Falcon going.

And finally here is another picture of the cool air-cleaner housing made from a vintage boat motor cover. The creativity of some folks...
