I bought this door a long time ago. Anyone out there remember anything about this car or that driver?
This is not too important, but I was just wondering. It was a nice rust free door.
go to zabasearch.com and do a search for drivers' name. probably didn't travel too far from home so use nearby states.
Zap- :unitedstates:
Thanks Zap
It's been so long that I don't even remember what state I got it from. It was found on the internet. I kinda think that it came from California. It arrived here by Greyhound bus.. Some people told me not to use it because it might have some history. I needed a rust free door more than I needed history. Just happened to find that picture in some old photos today and figured that I'd give it a shot out of curiosity.
I didn't have any luck with sabasearch.com. Must have done something wrong. Jay

I recognize the Jeanie,but thats about it.
Barbara Eden maybe? :003:
So is that door on your 57 now? I see your shop is well organized and spotless like mine :023:
Jim
Yes it's on my car now and it fits the car better than the original door on the other side. Go figure. There was just one dent to repair under the word driver. You can see it in the picture.
The shop is just a little better organised now compared to when that picture was taken. If you look real hard you will see a small trace of my missing work bench. Good thing I built the place 40'x60'. HAHA. Jay
Yes rmk Barbara Eden 'I dream of Jeanie' would be correct.Was Lt. Nelson a race car driver in the real world? Idon,t know.
That is an awesome door. I would have thrown that on my wall. You just don't see any of that ever anymore

I doubt that Lt. Nelson would have been a race car driver in real life because this guy, his Commanding Officer used to come into my restaurant to eat when he was in Mass. He knew that I liked old cars and would have told me.
I think that in real life Lt. Nelson's name was Hewing or something like that and he lived on a farm in Dallas Texas.

I actually held onto it for several years hoping to get one as nice as that one because hanging it on the wall in the shop is exactly what I wanted to do with it. It broke my heart to put the sander to it.
LOL...easterners HaHa..The name was Ewing, and out west in Dallas it's a ranch, not a farm....Southfork actually...had to think a while on that one.
That's also why wagons were called Beachwagons back east I would imagine..no ranches there, so a ranchwagon would be useless. lol...."Go see your local Ford dealer for the new Farmwagon"...just wouldn't have cut the mustard.

Everything You want to know about Ford Farmwagons is very easy.
Go to Technical Diagrams.
Click on Data plate codes
Scroll down to Farmwagons ... and....and....
Wait a minute. Your'e not going to fall for that one. That's the same thing I pulled on HRD a couple of weeks ago when I told him to find information on Gassers.
Well... At least the part of my story about Hayden Rork was true.
Ya Ecode I guess most of my attention was on Barbara Eden.I think there was an episode with Lt. Nelson driving a stock car race.

I used to always ask Hayden Rork about Barbra Eden also.
Do you remember the time she did a show on the Andy Taylor Mayberry RFD program?
Ya I think so.We used to watch it daily.We also watched Mayberry all the time.Good old corny humor.It sure beats most of the crap we have on now days.I canceled my cable a few months back and dont really miss it.We use netflix when we feel like a movie,and I go to my brothers or a bar if I want to watch a sports event.I also figure I need the time and money for that Ranchero in the garage.

Do you mean to say that you were able to get I Dream Of Jeanie over there?
Was it in German or English?
yes sure ! I can't remember when I first saw the show but probably early 80s when they used it as cheapo program filler. Never mind, I just liked the comedy style and the actors are cool. I thought it was so funny to see Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman fooling around like this, when at the same time my parents were watching 'Dallas' along with the same actors :002: Both were German language here, but I never got interested in the latter.
Jeanie is still on TV here! I was whisteling the title song last weekend and my son said 'hey this is the Jeanie song' ( of course he said that in German language :002:)

I hope that you are teaching your son English now while he is young. We taught our children German when they were babies and it sure did help them when they studied it later.
Jay
yes I do, they also have English starting in 1st class elementary school. in todays and future global world it is extremely important to know several languages. I am so thankful to my English teachers, they were really oldschool, really strict but fair minded.
I just met both of them last month and they exactly knew me by name, 25 yrs later, but I don't know if that is because of my English knowledge :002: :003:
