While we were on holiday, a friend had asked if I could locate him a new ignition barrel and key for his Model A Ford, so any excuse to look at car stuff, Mark found a place on the internet called the Early Ford Store in San Dimas, a small town on the outskirts of L A. It just so happened it was on the way (sort of!) to Lake Elsinore where we we'd arranged to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane, so we decided to call in the morning and have a look. Arriving just as the guy was opening up, we asked if we could have look round but had to wait until he had pulled some cars out into the car parking lot at the back. We watched, amazed, as he pulled all these early Fords out..............
The inside was incredible, stuffed to the rafters with every possible early Ford part you could think of, and then some......
Early tuning parts for your hot rod? Certainly Sir......
Seriously, given time and the run of the place, you could have built a complete car and driven it out the door.
I don't know my early tuning stuff, but this looks rare.
Dragging ourselves away, we continued on to Lake Elsinore airfield, only to be confronted by more old cars and planes scattered about. Mark spoke to the guy who owned the fifties Buick, which had been parked up twenty years ago (

Don't know what make of buggy this was, but it's got early mustang tail lights!
