that was a sweet car, with a flathead 8 and the nicest sounding exhaust. Three rows of seats, and I don't remember if it was an auto or a stick.

I really liked it. Dad traded it for a 1959 Ford basic police car type fodor. Which was an ugly green.

He didn't keep it very long, because in 1960 or late 1959 we got a VW Micro Bus. It wasn't a 21 window but it was a 13 window.

I remember John and Ed used to ride in teh back.

He sold it to the Lakey's.; January 27, 2009 at 8:46 PM
