a bit like a ghost buster ;-)
Fantastic photos of cars: oldies, modified, bizarre: whatever!

I was working as a taxi driver at the time. And during my off hours I generally had a bunch of friends in the ambulance going to this party and that.
The day after Woodstock (a big letdown being back in the world of normal), a girlfriend said, "Why don't we get some paint and do up the ambulance." Which we did. Somebody painted "CB's taxi service" (my first & last name initials) on the front left quarter panel, and I've been CB ever since.

One from my collection
A Lark. Way cool.
62 v8 Daytona convertible. Pretty rare
More about the ambulance.
I met a lot of cops in that vehicle. Got pulled over constantly. When I bought it, it still had the rooftop red flashing lights (two front & rear) operational. One night we pulled over a carload of girls w/ the lights flashing. They were unimpressed.
Another time, stopped for a red light, my buddy Paul in the passenger seat flipped the light switch on, then reached his left foot over and mashed the accelerator. We shot across four lanes of highway traffic, me screaming like a little girl. It's a wonder I lived to adulthood.
Local cops pulled me over several times and threatened action unless I removed them. Which I did. Covered them over with white plastic.
Driving in the South was an adventure. Don't know how I stayed out of jail.

One of my favorite Woodstock photos--this was taken on state highway 17 (17B?) just outside the festival. What makes it remarkable is the guy riding on the fender of the Chevy as a trooper car goes the other way AND TAKES NO NOTICE.
NY state troopers were Nazis back then. Under normal circumstances a guy riding on the fender would have provoked instant trouble. But all the rules were relaxed for Woodstock.

1954 Daimler Conquest Century. It got the Century name cause it came with 100 bhp. I suspect a few of those horse have fled the stable lol.
But she started and turned over a little so there’s life in there yet.

That is awesome....I just see groceries being slung all over the place!
Oh wow, my eyes this morning did not spot the size of the power plant in there lol.
Is that actually yours? Must be a hell of an exciting trip down to the supermarket.
Willy's?
Yes, I built it and it's as fun as it looks
1940 Ford, original Henry steel body
So, I bet you get asked this all the time. But,Yes, I built it and it's as fun as it looks
What is the setup there under the hood, and how do you get power from there to the wheels?
And, does it sound like armageddon itself? Where is my jealousy emoji?
Blown 406" SBC built on a Dart block using AFR heads, through a manual valve body TCI 400, out to a fabricated 9" Ford with 411 gears. Yes, it wakes the neighbors... in the next state over

That looks like a very well executed build!
