Motor Muster 2023 Celebrates Ford Flathead V8 Engine

Annual Motor Muster car show is held annually in Greenfield Village Michigan. All Restored, partially
restored, and un-restored vehicles can apply, but this show is not for hot rods or custom cars.  Although, I like them too, but this is not for them.

This year the theme was to Celebrate the famous Ford Flathead Engine. Ford Flathead V8 was produced from 1932 to 1953 and it was designed right there, in Greenfield Village. And because Ford Flathead is one of the most famous engines ever in Hot Rod circles (with early Hemi of course), it was exciting to see the Ford display.

Below are some vehicles from the Ford Display as well as from the show.

1951 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible which was stunningly restored with every little detail. (Owner : Daryl Wilusz)

 

1949 Ford Custom Woodie Wagon. The prices on these Woodies have gone through the roof over the years and this is a pristine example of one. (Owner: unknown)

 

1953 Ford Sunliner Pace Car. This is the original Pace Car used at Indianapolis 500. Ford also built 2,000 replicas for 1953 (Owner: The Henry Ford)

 

1937 Ford “60” Flathead V8 (Owner: Willim Family)

1935 Ford Model 48 V8 Deluxe Fordor that was inherited by The Henry Ford from New York in 1960s. It’s completely original car, even the paint is original. It had little over 40k miles. (Owner: The Henry Ford)

 

1936 Ford 5-Window Deluxe Coupe. Color is called “Armory Green” which was one of the Ford’s Easter promotional colors. (Owner: Dave Benck)

The designers of this 1936 Coupe got the body lines just right. (Owner: Dave Benck)

This 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air is definitely one of the nicest Classic Chevy’s on the field (Owner: Unknown)

1951 Packard 200 sedan that seemed to be completely original (Owner: Jeffrey and Marsha Noel)

From left to right : 1955 Buick Super and 1957 Buick Special (Owner: Kyle Schultz)

You don’t come across a 1958 Buick Century Caballero Estate Wagons often. Here’s a top quality example (Owner: Joe and Julie Tonietto)

1960 Pontiac Bonneville 2 door Hard Top (Owner: Unknown)

King of the Road: 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe with some of the highest tail fins in the industry (Owner: Unknown)

While you are in Greenfield Village, you can have a ride in a T-Ford! Not sure how much the rides cost, but it looks like a fun experience.

Here’s a rear Ford. It’s a 1956 Crown Victoria Skyliner. In Skyliners the front part of the roof is glass (Owner: David Brown)

If you look really closely, you can see the two tone (body/roof) paint on this 1956 Lincoln Premiere (Owner: Joe Karasinski)

There’s no better color combination that says “1950s” than pink/white on a 1956 Ford Fairlane (Owner: Joe Zarazua)

1955 Studebaker President Speedster (owner: Larry and Patricia Gardon)

  • Went through some of my old photographs and found this gem. it brought back lot of memories ! I had this 1985 Pontiac Parisienne STW in Finland when I was studying automotive engineering at Turku University of applied sciences - sometime early 2000ish. This is called “piilofarmari” aka station wagon that was converted and registered as a commercial van to evade heavy Finnish passenger car taxes. For example the rear seat couldn’t be normal “soft” rear seat. It had ro be removed and replaced with a plywood seat, there were other modifications too that were required - usually depending which city you try to get the car registered. The cherry on top was the “80” sticker in the rear to notify that you can only drive 80kmh with it (50mph).

I think it’s time to start talking about American car taxation in Europe - for both, classic and new cars. 
What are your personal experiences ? Thoughts ?

  • As Joey Ramone says “if you are not in it, you are out of it”. Hard to pick the best Ramones song, but “Something to believe in” is one of my favorites 
Borrowed from @ramonesdailys

  • After the #route66centennial trip, the New Yorker needs some care. Let’s start with transmission shop!
1) linkage adjustment to make it shift correctly
2) starter bendix gear issue - it hits sometimes starter ring 
3) oil and filter

  • Because it’s my birthday, I get to choose the song. 
So, Here it is “@freeband : Come together in the morning” (UK) - vocals of course @paulrodgersofficial and on guitar Paul Kossoff, one of the most soulful guitar players that ever lived. There’s no music video available so this one has to do it. I assume Koss uses fuzz-pedal on this solo. Any thoughts ?

  • Holy cow ! Thank you @jbcmktr, this is amazing ! I really appreciate you sending me this model of #1973chryslernewyorker after completing the #route66centennial and @thequailevents ! And I just got it on time for my birthday ;)
  • I’ve been an @ericclapton fan since 1990s and today I finally show him in Detroit ! Great show.

  • #1973chryslernewyorker is back home after 3200 miles on Route 66 - and next week it will be at the trans shop. Legacy run is officially over - let’s see what the upcoming plans are ;)
