Luther's Cruisers Car Club Garage Tour-Ada, Michigan

This is a "garage tour" that was taken in 2006. What a time we had! The owner of this collection of great automobiles and collectibles will go unnamed for security purposes, but I will say this. He is well past retirement and still restoring cars. His kids said "Dad, please sell off some of this stuff so we won't have such a mess to clean up". Sure. As he showed us some large trailers full of signs he just purchased and brought home to add to his collection.



The first picture is of the owner. Many will recognise him, but I won't tell you if it is the guy on the left or right.










The previous pictures are of the inside of one of the garages. Mixed with the great and rare paraphernalia are some of his wonderful automobiles. Study hard. How many items do you recognize from your past?

The following are a few of the many garages, sheds and lean-to shacks that he has his collection in. The main area is full of cars and thousands, yes, thousands- can you say tens of thousands? individual automobile paraphernalia.








The next section are some of the cars. Must have been 30 in all stages of restoring. Most were totally done, and done well. The first picture is of a totally restored engine, just can't remember which car it will go into!












I hope you have enjoyed this tour. Stay tuned for MORE!

Great barn tour, LCCC

This was a real treat. Sorry to say, we did not have a good turn out peoplewise, but the few who were there got a great barn tour. One of our favorite things to do with LCCC (Luther's Cruisers Car Club) is touring local garages and barns. Unfortunately, I haven't always taken my camera, but, just for you folks, from now on I will!




This is a tour of the barns belonging to Jerk R. He has such an eclectic collection, but he specializes in Mr. Ford's Model T.











Jerk has some homemade-type cars. I guess they were produced in small quantities and one could built it themselves from a kit. The first Kit cars I guess.






This Model T has a neat story. It seems an acquaintance of Mr. R's asked if he could store this car in his garage. Yup, says Mr. R. 12 years later it is still there. Mr. R has the title. Signed. Darn. I just didn't have an extra 10k in my pocket that day.





The day we were there, he was finishing up a Model T racer. We were there when he fired it up the first time. How cool was that?





















I hope you enjoyed this tour. I will try to put together another one soon. I was thinking of doing one on my Mustang's home. It has a nice spot in my garage. Only it might be difficult to get the best pictures since there is a bed of snow all over the driveway!
