Phil Linhares' '34 Ford, Northern California



From Michael S. Moore in No. Calif. 
"Though he's still got the Graham for sale - where it's still available] and the other other car is a clean little '37 roadster, luxurious leather seat and rumble seat, black primer the last time I looked. This is the one he built/had built about fifteen years ago out at Vern Tardel's in Santa Rosa.  Depending who you talk to it's either Phil's [curator emeritus from the OMCA, who wrote one of the essays in my book] or his wife Sharon's, but whoever belongs to it it's been a regular at Bonneville Speed Week most years since.  A good little camper - surfer-style there's no back seat - and he's looking for a mid-thirties sedan delivery so he can add a fifth [rear] door...Has a built and balanced 305 chevy, automatic...discs on the front, etc. etc. and, Phil being Phil, really nice leather interior soundproofed to the max.  Wish I'd gotten more pictures.......oh, and yes, it's a 1934 Ford, just like it says on the door."-MSM
