CARS YOU WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN

CARS YOU WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN

I drove a 1951 "Stupidbaker" Champion when I went to college.  It was a very pale yellow rather than red like the one here.  When I started driving it, it was mostly rust so my Dad reluctantly agreed to an "Earl Scheib", "any car, any color for only $29.95" paint job.  The joke was that you couldn't tell whether it was coming or going because it looked pretty much the same front and back.  So many fun memories with that car.  It had holes in the floor boards and you could see the street below.  The starter was under the clutch and you had to step on it really hard, after turning the key, to start it.  3 speed on the column.  No radio.  I could drive for a week on $1 worth of gas, but could only go a couple days on $0.50 of brake fluid.  My Dad only put used re-treads on it!  Good grief, no one would do that today!  I love old cars!

Those were the days when, you had an accident, you needed a good carpenter more than a mechanic 
Those were the days of motor vehicles, not cars! Aren't they beautiful ????

Back in the days when cars had style, and even with so many makes and models, all changing every year, they made a profit.
And, not only that... You could sit on the porch and name the cars as they drove by... Unlike today... When they all look the same... 
This was when a car was a car
