No, that's a 36 Ford coupe. I could tell for sure it's a ford from the front, but it's definitely a 36 something.

Going for walks, seeing some cool cars.

I'm digging the bump side Ford pickup..... toss a 6" lift in and that's one sweet ride.
I'll go along with it being a 36 Ford.
Wanna bet it's got a Chevy engine under the hood?
The curved rad hose near the top makes me think it's a flathead - it kinda goes with it's overall '50s vibe.
Meh.... I was a Rod and custom magazine geek way back when. I always wanted to be a street rod builder, but thanks to investors (Mecum auctions) fugetaboutit!
I'm more for muscle cars, lifted trucks and Pro Street cars than anything else.Meh.... I was a Rod and custom magazine geek way back when. I always wanted to be a street rod builder, but thanks to investors (Mecum auctions) fugetaboutit!
Mecum and Barrett/Jackson have made everyone with a 6 cylinder 4 door 70 Nova think their car is worth $20k or more.
I'd be up for a flathead Ford - maybe a 50 model coupe.
I'm not, never have been, a big fan of modified cars, especially when driveability and handling take a back seat to pure power (which usually can't be put on the ground through the suspension and tires). Something like the E-Type Jag, or second series Corvair, or original Mini Cooper, or the OHC 6 Firebird, or first series Miata. Well balanced, sufficient power, smallish size, good handling.
Remember, it's a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.

My wife and I were on holiday for 3 weeks celebrating her birthday. International trip means international car spotting!
First up, Egypt, where we encountered a lot of older French and Russian cars -
Also Kei class vans used for taxis -
As well as these guys -
Next up, on safari in Tanzania - our guide's Landcruiser and another group's Land Rover -
Then Malaysia, where there were quite a few interesting cars, including this Suzuki Jimny -
This BMW I8 -
These cars with interesting paint jobs -
This gorgeous old Volvo -
And this absolutely stunning old Rolls Royce, parked in front of our hotel -
Malaysia has a couple of domestic makes, but they're pretty similar to modern southeast Asian cars, so no pics. But, in Singapore, we saw this -
And lastly, a few shots from before vacation, including this truck (allegedly a Ford) in Gainesville FL -
And these 2 from around my home town -

The final pic is my favorite. 70-73 Camaro with the standard (non RS) front end and full bumper.
Looks like it has high back bucket seats, so that would rule out being a 1970.

My car.

Love the Z! I was really into those a couple decades ago and tried a restoration but got overwhelmed. Keep salt away from those floor boards and rocker panels.
Sometime around 2000 my teenage son was looking for a sports car. We looked at a 240z or a 260z I can't remember which. We both thought it drove like a truck. Extremely heavy non-power steering. heavy clutch pedal and a clunky shifter. It was really old school even in comparison sporty cars of the '90s. My dad had an MG-TD and a Triumph TR4 and they seemed a lot easier to drive than the Z that we drove. I really liked the TR4.
I have a TR6 but always loved those early Z cars. Tire choice makes a big difference in low-speed handling on these non-power steering cars, people put big tires on the Triumphs because they look good, then complain they're hard to park.
