I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

1937 FORD BUSINESS MAN'S COUPE RACE CAR-CIRCA 1950


HERE'S AN INTERESTING PHOTO I RAN ACROSS FROM LAST WEEK.   ITS A 1937 FORD BUSINESS MAN'S COUPE.  THESE TYPES OF CARS WERE RACED ON LOCAL STOCK CAR SPEEDWAYS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.  THIS PHOTO IS PROBABLY FROM ABOUT 1950.  BY THAT TIME, THE CAR WAS DEPRECIATED AND COULD BE HAD FOR NOT ALOT OF MONEY. BEST OF ALL IT HAD HENRY FORD'S LEGENDARY V8 ENGINE INTRODUCED IN 1932.  THE BUSINESS MAN'S COUPE WAS IDEAL SINCE IT WAS MADE FOR LIGHT TRAVEL WITH THE POWER OF A V8.  AN ENGINE THAT CAN EASILY BE HOPPED UP AND HOTRODDED.  NOTE THE GRILL GUARD TO PREVENT RUPTURE OF THE RADIATOR AND THE ROLL BAR INSTALLED.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRACK THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AT.  I COULD FIND NOTHING ON JERRY FERD THE DRIVER LISTED FOR THIS CAR.  THESE WERE THE DAYS OF MOONSHINERS AND GUYS GETTING INTO RACING FOR NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.-THE TIME SEARCHER
