By Bob and Ruth Valentine When I entered the antique car hobby in the mid 1970’s with a 1932 Chevrolet, I had never heard of Hupmobile. Because I was the only one in my immediate neighborhood, College Point, and was seen driving around in a 45 year old car, people cleaned out their garages of […]
By Docair Jerry Malkes I spied this 1914 Ford Fire Truck at Lynbrook’s 2013 Expo. This completely restored Model T Fire Truck has a very interesting story. GNYR member Harry Verity is involved in this project after being contacted by Bill Sielski about 6 months ago. This truck is owned by the Hempstead Fire Department […]

by John Linhardt Ex-member Don Gilbert and Myself have combed Junk-Yards from Augusta, Maine to Hayward California. The fever started when Don was going to school in Coral Gables, Florida and found a 1941 Buick “Super” convertible in a yard and got it running, and drove it to New York on his summer break.
