Halton Hills This Week,.Wednesday,,.November)10, 1993 - Rage 23. Out at the Ranch with Bill Ellis THE CARS During a recent closet clean up, we came across a box of old pictures. And there, as glossy as ever, was a picture of my Dad and my Uncle Joe, with their shiny racer car. ‘They were nineteen or twenty and the racer looked like a Model A Ford chassis with modified body. I guess they were quite the young ‘hunks’ - with that hot car. As a matter of fact, my Uncle Joe and his steady date, set up a first date for my Mother and Father. They all went riding in the racer. My Dad was one of those people who just loved motor vehicles. He had a life-long love affair with cars. My first recollection of Dad’s cars was a Model T Ford four door that was stored in the farm drive shed all winter. Winter travel was by horse drawn sleighs and cutters.

Believe it — he bought one of those huge four door Buicks. that had the two spare tires mounted in front fenders. That-car spawned the old comment that it could pass anything — me to explain the operation of a rumble seat. Suffice to say, it'was a lace for two or three kids to ride back and forth to those sandy beaches ‘on those glorious summer jaunts. Another of Dad’s cars I recall was an early Ford V8 model, This thing would real- ly move! It was really good at getting away from a stop. was known to enjoy that feeling of pe Near ‘The speed was no! ly enjoyed by fice Mother, so Dad started driving the Ford with more decorum, when Mom was al I believe Dad was always too complex for his level of auto mechanics. Whereas he tinker with the newer cars. ‘What satisfaction is there in changing the oil and the fil- viet about the good old days, when you could skin all your knuckles replacing a clutch or replacing a drive shaft? What about the days when you would only attract fond glances when you did a good paint job on your car — all by yourself? Ican just hear Dad say — “What do you mean it has no carbeurator — it is EFI what? Bill Ellis is an Associate Broker with Canada Trust Realty, Georgetown.
