Hot rod buggy…

One for the weekend–not your typical Amish buggy.  I don’t know the story behind this machine, I just want to know how many horses we’re talking.

From the LCBC car show in Lancaster County, 2010:

      It reminds of the sign in an antique car supply, restore place where my brother and I went for a part they had for his Model A roadster: The only difference between the men and the boys are the price of their toys.

      Richard, you have a fast car with that Mustang of yours,,,, go ahead, put a banner on it and then race out here to Illinois so I can pinch you, LOL. Yes, I mentioned your blog, I thought you would get a kick out of that, hahaha.

      That is a ride!
      I remember that in the 1990s I saw a TV report on Amish/Mennonite vehicles, and mostly there was a company (for some reason I seem to remember it being a car dealership) selling buggies with engines instead of horses. The typical looking buggy, but from what I recall no hitching parts for the animal horse power.

      If that thing has a coffee cup holder someones running out to the bank on monday to get a car loan, but only after i promote my blog first,lol. Richard from Lebanon county’s Amish community.

      Sort of a different twise, but a year or so ago I saw an article about an artist (in Brooklyn, NY … I think) that was hacking a Hummer in half and was putting it back together as a horse drawn vehicle. Takes all kinds I guess …

      Amish Outcast Hot Rod Model

      This is very similar to this modified AMT model car kit: http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/71vega/vehicles/46371/photos/2141090

    16. Richard I hope I didn’t steal your thunder on the hot rod buggy 🙂

      I am not officially a “car guy”–I don’t care so much about power as the road I’m on, I love to drive back country byways and the vehicle matters not so much as long as it has a coffee cup holder as you say.

      But, I couldn’t pass this one up. I wonder if it will be back again this year, I believe the 2011 edition is next month. Shrewsbury Market, which is a PA Dutch market in York County, does a car show once a month (it’s usually their biggest day), I’d actually be surprised if this bad boy hadn’t made it down there.

      Unfortunately although I’ve been to Shrews many times I haven’t caught the car night, but hope to this summer.

      Since i moved to the area late last year Erik, im still exploring in a way. Car shows are starting to pop-up now that the weather is much nicer. Infact a local Ford dealer is having a short car show of sorts this wednesday, from 9am -10.30 am. All these cars would be made before 1916, so if i can find the time i might drop by in the morning and take some pictures. Richard from Lebanon county’s Amish community.

      buggy reversal

      Now all we need to see is a Amish “buggy” with the body of a 1933 Ford bolted in place of the cab! 🙂
