My first ride was a 1952 Ford Coupe, flathead V8, "three on the tree". Bought it in late 1963 for $300 which was Big fooking dough then!

Looked almost like the pics I copped from the net, though it's condition was not nearly this good looking. Burned oil like crazy; I used to stuff a couple of peeled bananas down the oil fill tube to "increase viscosity" and slow the oil consumption,

My first "going all the way" ride, too: the Oak Drive-In just off Woodward Ave., outside Detroit. :p
