Last Saturday Carl picked me up in Waverly driving his Ford automobile and we rode to a swap meet car show in Richmond. He was looking for some items for his 52 3100 restoration. No Chevy parts anywhere. All Furd Turds. Should've taken my Yukon. Oh, well.
But we did see a nice 52 4100 resto and talked with the owner, but he didn't know much. He got it already finished. Saw a 61 Apache 31 whose owner didn't know much either, but that it had a 235. Yes, it was but I showed him that it had a 261 head on it. Rough but running, he had it for sale.
Sitting all alone near the curb was a 46 or so all original-looking Chevy pickup with no one around to talk to. Had some old rusty period tools in the back. Typical car show with plenty of Model Ts, 60s muscle cars and a dabble of off-the-wall old timers. There was a sweet looking bright yellow rear engine model in the parade of vehicles that only had a black AMX on the front and rear. Carl asked who made that... I said it was a Rambler. Carl scoffed. Then the announcer stated it was a 1 of 6 American Motors AMX experimental. See! It's a durn Rambler! It had a big mean V8 in the backseat powering a transaxle. Neat. We left before the temp hit 90.
