19 March 2007
From Mike :
Niagara has been asking me to include pics and stories of our alternative toys as well. Susanne has a 1966 140 hp 4-speed Corvair coupe. I have a 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 coupe along with a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia convertible, a 1949 Massey Harris pony tractor and of course our 1966 Dodge Travco 27' motorhome with a 413 Dodge big block in it. (I should figure out how to get a web album together. 
)
The one that got away (we were heading to go look at it when a 1955 Chevy 5700 LCF 2-Ton Flatbed got our attention!)is now listed on eBay.
Our 1949 Massey Harris "pony" is the same year as our house. This is a picture from our front lawn at Christmas. We don't have the property to use it anymore so we'll be selling it this year. A friend of mine has an equestrian center where I used to cut the back corrals for him.We also have an all wood 1961 17' Thompson speed boat. I like it because both front windshields angle back and also fold out forward for ventilation. It kinda looks the windshield in our our 1953 1/2-ton Chevy. The boat needs to be striped of all the old varnish off and then start again.
I must add that all the toys need restoration or work done to them (that's the only way I can afford them all). My friends all say that if I get them all done, we'll have some really cool stuff.
