Show Us Your Wheels ...

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

Ok, so it's not actually a car.

It's a 1954 Ford NAA (Some call it a Jubilee, but that is actually only accurate for the 1953 version.) I rebuilt it and restored it from a rusty pile of parts a few years ago, and now it's too nice to use, so it just sits in my garage.

(Wait, that sounds like what has happened to a few of my "too nice to fish" bamboo rods....)

archer829, I'll bet you have crowds around it at the local county fair, and after parades!

1964 Corvette Convertible, Riverside red black interior - hot as hell in the Phoenix summers. Four speed, 300hp L75 327 that runs like a charm.
I have buried some trust fund babies in their Daddy's Beemer. Not very often but sometimes this old dog has to bark!
Thought I had a picture on my computer......
As the saying goes, three pedals no problems.

It's not going to win a race getting to the river. But who cares, just get there the evening before!
This is "Bea" the '87 Syncro Westy.

BMW Baby. The horn on this makes a repulsive noise.

Tough to transport a fly rod, but OK to take the Queen for a short spin.

excellent..

a friend just finished rebuild on an old McCormick Farmall, we drove it around the farm and pulled out a few old apple tree stumps, works great.
I had no idea tractors had a 5th gear, 20mph down the road five feet up, feels unreasonably fast..
