Yes, I know that ultimately I made the right choices when I opted to keep my coupe in lieu of an open car.
When I got drafted into the U.S. Army in 1956 I told my wife that I wanted to put the '36 in storage for the duration, thinking that I would need a work car when I got out and money would be tight after two years on army pay. My wife agreed with my thinking so the Ford survived the two year slumber in storage in Hollywood, CA, returning to the light of day in October 1958.
