No. Richard Watson Watson Ford.

Car dealers are the shiz. Last week Deb and I had drinks on Allen Wilson (Howard Wilson Dodge Jeep) 2013 63 ft Viking. He sold out the first of the month. They take the boat to the Keys over winter and fly down every other week. Now that he is unemployed they plan on wintering in the Bahamas....

That would be his brother - those vehicles are most definitely Robert's

 

[wngrog]

Oh sorry, I meant Robert. I better get that right when I write the article.

Both of these are kinda Ford dealer things. Like new. No miles.

This Vette tho

Second year they made. First year was all white. Second year they only made 300 this color.

This was one of his Tbirds with a factory turbo.

57 Tbird one of 192 made with F code supercharged. 4th one made Amos mintner from Dallas retro. This guy is a god among men apparently.

This Lemans tho

Gratuitous Bronco. Well done. It gets used.

This F100 was perfect.

 

[wngrog]

Last couple pics.

Model A Roadster pickup. Perfect.

54 XK 120 last year of 9000 made over 8 years. Last year of split Windows. Roadster.

Holy crap. This is the kind of stuff you see on TV. What does this guy do?

 

[wngrog]

He is a second generation Ford dealer. My best friend from college has a really, really good dealership in Nashville and he says Watson Ford is a top 1% in the US dealership.

I am telling you, the property minus the 22 cars in the 20 car garage was so impressive I just can't imagine. I can't begin to describe this place

This is a 1932 Ford Phaeton my Dad restored and won a Deaborn award with a few years ago. Told me the other day he's going to sell it because it's too nice to drive.

I saw that at Rick's Pro Truck a few weeks ago. The fact that it was at RPT says a lot...

Was just about to post my pics of it. Glad to see the old girl getting out and about. Definitely a rare bird.

Looked to be original paint / unrestored condition. Used to be a guy who had a blue one on west County Line Road (can't recall his name now) when I was in high school and long thereafter. Since they only made 1,920 'birds, you would think this is likely the same one.....

Yeah, she's a 10 footer, but appeared to be original (to my untrained eye). It was in the parking lot of the office complex on the corner of Avery and North Park. I had to take a u-turn and go check it out. It's not every day you see one of those.

There used to be a tan one in Arbor Landing subdivision in Brandon, and it was cherry. I'd wager it was restored.

 

[MScruiser]

Dont those things start around $100k?

 

[BamaHeel]

100k would be a deal and go up depending on engine and options.

Dad's 54 that he had to sell because they had twins instead of just one baby. I was the 2nd born so it's been my fault all of my life.
