'37 Ford Coupe?  One of the guys who taught me (read: "tried to teach me")
to surf many years ago had one of those, or so he said.  He'd customized the
car so it would've taken someone cleverer than I am to know what it really
was.   But it looked as though it could've been one once.  The body was
re-contoured to be super-streamlined.   A candy emerald paint job with gold
pinstripe detailing and custom chromed exhaust pipes finished the amazing
look of the thing.   Whatever that engine was felt like it was turbo-charged
when he popped the clutch.  He used to street-race so he was very cagey
about what was under the hood.


I won't pretend it was a smooth sweet ride and I couldn't have given my
Grandma a lift in it but that thing really could thrash the quarter-mile.


Just remember you're also one of the people who makes this a great site.


 
Shalom, 

Christian
