Default Re: Remeber Your "first" car?

http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/ford/29_1.html

The above referenced site has the cabriolet ad posted which depicts my car. My first car was the '29 cabriolet, originally purchased by my father, but by 1959 heavily worn and not truly original. It had BLC sealed beam headlights, unk. Horn, wipers, 16" wire wheels, etc. My father insisted I put on hydraulic brakes before doing anything else. Ultimately I got the car running well with the original motor, new paint, chrome, J.C. Whitney seat cover, new white top, and 15" Mercury wheels, and of course the hydraulic brakes.

I am rebuilding that car now, mostly as it was back in the early 1960's.
