Drool. By far the most memorable machine there. <\/p>\n<p>The sign on the windshield said it was a 1920 Ford Roadster, but it sure doesn&#8217;t look like any 1920 Ford I&#8217;ve ever seen (photos of). It may be a heavily modified 1920 Ford built up for racing, but I don&#8217;t know. I thought I had a photo of the sign so I&#8217;d have the name of the owner, but wrong-o on that count. I also missed the chance to talk with him before he hopped in &#038; drove off with it &mdash; yes, he drove it away, down the street and onto the highway. <\/p>\n<p>Sigh. Oh how I would love to take that thing for a drive.<\/p>\n<p><a href='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1274_hr.jpg' title='DSCF1274_hr.jpg'><img src='\/davintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1274_lr.jpg' alt='DSCF1274_lr.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The boattail concept on these old racers was great.

It was a straight four-cylinder, and the pipes wrapped nicely around each other, melding into one big 4&#8243; chrome pipe that was almost as long as the car. It had a beautiful burble to it when he started the engine. I wish I had been close enough to hear it when he drove off.<\/p>\n<p><a href='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1276_hr.jpg' title='DSCF1276_hr.jpg'><img src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1276_lr.jpg' alt='DSCF1276_lr.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1277_hr.jpg' title='DSCF1277_hr.jpg'><img src='\/davintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1277_lr.jpg' alt='DSCF1277_lr.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1278_hr.jpg' title='DSCF1278_hr.jpg'><img src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1278_lr.jpg' alt='DSCF1278_lr.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1279_hr.jpg' title='DSCF1279_hr.jpg'><img src='\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/09\/DSCF1279_lr.jpg' alt='DSCF1279_lr.jpg' \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saw this machine at a car show over the weekend.
