early 50s Chevy

We still have about a foot of snow covering about an acre of our yard but I am starting to see old cars and bikes out.

Yesterday, I saw three bikes out riding. A big BMW, a Harley and a Nighthawk. Also saw a Miata and a newish 911 with tops down. And I saw one of those Japanese "Kei trucks" in someone's driveway.
We have a "Cars and Coffee" scheduled for Sunday (but I can't make it....we'll be at a St. Paddy's Day party that we arranged).

Anyway I'm also starting to see some more stuff for sale.

I told you about the M-B Fintail I saw recently. This old Chevy is about a mile away from that on Rt. 206 here in NJ. Looks like a '51 or '52 Chevy, I think. This was the first car engine I ever rebuilt. Actually, partly-rebuilt. My best friend's Dad died in the middle of fixing his old '51 so me and my friend finished the job. It wasn't pretty, but it ran. A 216 cubic inch straight six, I think.

Yep, 'tis the season. Starting to see motorcycles and classic cars on the Parkway heading into the Smoky Mtn. Nat'l. Park and running the Tail of the Dragon. This place is quite an attraction for gearheads!
