OK, by now you have figured out from the pictures I’ve shown you that Central Oregon is spectacular in it’s beauty.
Whether you are just visiting or you live and work in Central Oregon you can’t spend all your time hiking and fishing in the mountains. Once in a while you have to go through town. And when you do there are cool things to see there too.
For instance, vintage cars.
I know, all i have been talking about is wild places and mountains, and now i’m talking cars. Whats up with that?
Well, I love vintage cars and Central Oregon is a great place to find them.
'61 Ford Bronco
the climate in the high desert is perfect to preserve old cars since the air is very dry most of the time. Things here just don’t rust out like they do in other more humid places.
restored ford truck
In the Bend and Redmond area there are lots of people driving vintage cars that are perfectly restored. There are just as many cars that look like they might not make it to the next stop light, but it’s great to see these classics still on the road and being driven.
I know, i’m a ford man, so heres a little love for Jimmy (GMC).
'55 GMC
And a little nostalgia for you chevy fans. I think it’s a ’63 impala but not sure.
Chevy Impala
There is even a European vintage car club in town. I’ve seen Aston Martins, Austin Healys, and Alfa Romeos.
I basically grew up in an autobody shop since my dad was a custom painter and body man. I remember dad painting some great cars and This 1935 Ford pickup was one i helped him work on.
'35 Ford
It was a full restore down to the frame. The crazy thing about it, after all that work the owner never drove it. He took it home and parked it outside. There it sat for over 20 years and the paint on it is still good.
What a waste.
Hope you enjoyed the blast from the past. I’m off to find more pictures for my next post.
Oh Cool! I love old cars (old anything, really). Those are neat pics!
Do they have old jewelry in Central Oregon, too?

Don,
I love these pitures of the old cars. I too grew up around car shops. I’ve been a mechanic for years. I’ve always wanted a 33 Ford Coup.
It would be nice if you could get your hands on that ’35 Ford Truck. It’s got some good history.

Don,
I grew up in Hong Kong, so I am no handy man nor a mechanics to any extent.
Some men really have a passion for cars. There’s even a current Australian made movie dedicated to the director’s passion on cars.

Nice post Don. A little variety. My father had a few classics. He had a 49 Murcury, a 59 Ford truck and a car from the 20′s.

This is different but nonetheless amazing – especially for someone who grew up in Europe, our vintage cars actually look quite different. Fascinating.
All the best,
Yann
I am looking forward to hearing about the people.

Agreed – what a waste to park a car and never drive it – doesn’t look like it is garaged either. You Dad must have done a great paint job to have it last so well. Wish Plymouth had done a better job on my ’91 Voyager. I sand and spray paint and have to cover new spots the next year.

Wow – it’s like you live in a car museum!
I can’t believe you get all that beautiful mountain scenery and a climate that means your cars don’t fall to bits.
We get the scenery here without the mountains, but cars don’t last!

Great old cars! There are alot of old cars in the 4th of July parade here every year. I think that’s my favorite part. I’m sure they are garaged most of the year though. The salt in the air from the ocean really eats up cars around here.
