A Fall To Remember |

|
His First Car |
||||
| As close as I can remember the year was 1966 to
1967. This young 16 year old boy had just finished a course in
self taught auto renovation 101. He received a brand new, (well to
him,) 1952 Plymouth flathead 6, 4 door sedan from his grandfather, who
found the car abandoned in a field.
After submitting the paperwork, receiving the license, a fixit ticket for taillights, brakes, and just being young and stupid by a CHP officer on Highway 32-Nord Avenue he endeavored to make the battle hardened vehicle into a road worthy carriage.
|
Well, he had to replace the starter, generator, regulator, headlights, taillights, taillight lenses, the head liner, Hone the wheel cylinders and master cylinder. And after a few trial runs he realized that if you traveled over 35-40 miles per hour that it was like sailing a tugboat through rough seas. It would boat on down the road.
