Just open that big back door and tell Sweet Suzie "Step into the office honey!"

I'm sure you've stated before but what engine does it have? When I was a kid we had a '50 Ford with the V8 and overdrive. It was a 2 door.

At the drive in we would crawl over the front seat into the back.

Oh, to be 18 again....

Its the typical Merc flathead 255 and Mercomatic drive. Next time hopefully I'll do the tour of the town. Should take all of ten minutes. This shot from a couple of years ago.

Nobody does that song as good as Alan Jackson. I even used his version as sound track on this video I did of the museum car show in 2016. Kind of sad they likely won't have the show this year.

Hi Bob. Not the end of the road here. Just between towns. This trip was to the little village of Lipton.

Thanks for the song! Ron MN

That was interesting Steve. No toggle switch on mine. I'm guessing that was a cut out switch for the exhaust to go from muffler to straight pipe. Mine is straight through all the time.

]Is that anywhere near Rouleau?

Not very. Although I've nver been there but I'd say its a couple of hours SW of me. "Corner Gas" filmed there I think.

That's Don Walser.

He did the sound track on the movie Second Hand Lions. Perfect match!

If you haven't seen it, one of the best ever!
