Elwin May

Picture

1951 Chevrolet Dually

Elwin May bought this truck about 20 years ago and a complete restoration was finished about 12 years ago. 216 6cyl, 4 speed with a 5 point something crazy rear end ratio that has the engine wound out at 80kms and hour (leaving Elwin with the award for the clubs cleanest driving record)
Picture

Hardest part of the restoration was doing without the original split rings rims. He was able to use a modern ( mid 80s) GM dual rim setup with a well machined spacer for the rear rims. He also found a set of vintage size tires to finish it off.

For some unknown reason, Elwin is the first member to get a call when someone in the club is interested in moving something...

1956 Ford Victoria
This Elwin's 56 Ford Victoria.( not a crowned Victoria) He has owned the car about 4 years now. Elwin and Ron spent an entire year looking for just the right one.
Ron and other club members had at least three potential cars for Elwin to look at per week from throughout Canada and USA. Elwin even put a conditional deposit on a car Chicago which he decided he did not like. Finally one Monday morning the team presented this car to him and he instantly knew this was the one. It was in close proximity in Parry Sound, They went and had a look and purchased the car instantly. 
 Since the purchase they have replaced some of the glass and painted the dash and steel trim parts in the interior.
