So far, oldest first car seems to be mine. 1950 Ford 2 door...flathead V-8, three on the tree. Painted Chinese Red with a white Naugahyde interior. Flat door panels, with a rawhide thong serving to open the door. (Porsche must have stolen the idea from me?) Front coils cut, giving the mandatory "rake" of the day. Dodge Lancer hubcaps..oh, and a Hamms beer tap handle welded to the shift lever, steering wheel from a 1957 Mercury...and top quality safety gear...seat belts! Was the summer of 1961, I'd just graduated from High School, age 17...
