Bob Northcott

Bob has been a member of the club since 2005.  His club car a 1933 Ford Roadster. 

Bob has been married to his wonderful wife Melinda for 18 years.  They have been together since 1984.  They have four grown sons and three grandsons.  The only “girl” they still have living at home, is their spoiled dog Tootsie . . .  she’s Bob’s buddy.

Bob has been involved with street rods for the past 30 years.  It all started with the 1923 “T” Bucket that he built and won many awards with.  Then he purchased a “red” 1930 Ford 2-door Sedan so he could take the family along and hold Melinda’s luggage.  Soon he needed something with a bigger trunk to hold Melinda’s growing luggage collection.  So, he bought a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. Problem solved:  ’40 coupes are well known for their large trunks.  He did a complete overhaul on the car and painted it “red” with white fenders and a tequila sunrise on the side.  The car won many awards and was featured in Hotline News.  In 1992, at the Lake Havasu Run, Bob purchased a “red” 1932 Hi-boy Roadster.  He sold it about 2 years after the 1994 earthquake.  In 2003 he sold the ’40 Ford Coupe and purchased a teal blue 1933 Ford Cabriolet.  But the Cabriolet wasn’t “red”, so he soon purchased a 1933 maroon-red roadster so he could join the club. In March 2008, Bob sold the teal blue cabriolet.

Bob has been affiliated with many car clubs in the past.  He became a member of the L. A. Roadsters in 2005 with his 1933 Ford Roadster.

Bob is a General Contractor and owner of Hammerhead Construction Company.  He’s retired now, but keeps very busy is his garage and on their ranch in Montana.  Bob and Melinda are enjoying their vacation home that they built in Absarokee, Montana in 2006-2007.  Melinda is a retired Educator.  She was an elementary school teacher, vice principal, school physiologist, and college professor.  Melinda has been the Club’s Newsletter Editor since 2005.

What it means to be a member of the L. A. Roadsters:  What an honor it is to be part of such a legacy.  To be associated and uphold the tradition of a club that was established over 50 years ago!  We are always recognized in our time honored traditional dress of red shirts and white pants, in any part of the country that we drive our roadsters.
