TOM STRADT'S CAR PAGE

Kaiser-Frazer, Studebaker and Willys Vehicles Spoken Here

Where I Live: Homer, Texas - 120 miles North of Houston - 60 miles west of the Sabine River & Louisianna - Lots of trees and high humidity - definitely not like the Texas in a John Wayne movie.
Further Description: Ever been caught behind a slow semi on a long upgrade and the trailer had Lufkin decals or mud flaps? Well I live across the street from the source of your torment.

HENRY J's:This is an old photo of the HJ's we have. From left to right: My brother's 51 6 cyl, My 51 4 cyl, My brother's other 51 6 cyl, and My 53 4 cyl

STUDE TRUCKS: These 2 1960 T-cab trucks were both owned by Gerald Glatter The one on the left is painted according to a scheme for a 55 President. I currently own the one on the right.

68 KAISER? This is also known as a Jeepster and a Jeep Commando. It was made in Toledo, OH by Kaiser Jeep

PATE SWAP MEET: This is what our spaces at the Aggie Pate Ranch looked like 2 weeks before the Last Pate Swap Meet (Cresson, TX). Didn't sell much that day. There was also only a light dusting of cow pies that day.

FOOD, TRAVEL, and LIFESTYLE

THE WAFFLE HOUSE, When you're driving to a big KFOCI Meet on Thanksgiving Day and there's no where else open or you want an omlet in the middle of the afternoon, WaHo is the place to eat - 24 hrs a day! If you are concerned about fat, nothing is deep fried - everything is grilled so forget about fried chicken. That also means that instead of french fries, you get hash browns....spread, scattered, smothered, slashed, and maybe even stomped! And you can get those staples of southern life, pork chops and grits anytime. Of course, they do have waffles (no pancakes), but without the exotic toppings you find at IHOP although WaHo does serve more apple butter than anyone else. Look at the menu on their web site. Don't know where to find one even though they seem to be at every interchange in the Southeast? Here's a Directory.
ROADSIDE AMERICA A cyber chronicle of strange and bizarre roadside attractions and it is updated every Sunday. Visit the site, buy the books by Wilkins, Smith and Kirby for more in depth weirdness. And if you have a giant fiberglass muffler man in your neighborhood, be sure to let them know!
Eric's Idiosyncratic Restaurant ...Guide I used to have a link to EAT HERE, but that site is now kaput and it is a shame. However Eric's Page names a few eating places in various states that you may consider changing your travel plans just to visit. You might also take a look at Road Trip America which has food and other topics.
US Highways from 1 to 830, R.V. Droz explains most everything you would want to know about the US Highway System. There is a blurb about the sinister disappearance of US666.
National Park Digital Maps, About 50% of the NPS properties have maps that are available on line. Install Adobe Reader on your machine and visit the corners of our country.
Adobe(Acrobat)Reader - Get Version 6 of this free application from the Official Adobe site or the TuCows Free Software Site.. It takes about 22 minutes with a 28K modem.

TOM STRADT'S CAR PAGE- A scary percentage of web sites bit the dust when the Web Boom went bust. New URL link added September 28, 2003. Actually, there was a Free Lunch and it is too bad it didn't last a little longer.
