After completely restorin My grandfather's 1939 FORD bussiness man's Coupe (started at the age of 15)Ii came home one day to find that my parents had sold it to a guy who needed a new one to run at the dirt track.

Apparently we were poorer than I knew.

Mom & Dad made the house payments up, we got to eat another month.

The car got a Chevy 348 an all the dents and damage I had fixed were soon replaced with brand new ones.

A bit later,I got the family sedan, 1956 Pontiac Starcheif HT and a new project. It stayed with the family, brother to brother until 1980.
Scrap yard came to haul it off, car started and the dealer drove it home.
Last I heard, it still runs.
It now resides in Jennings MO.


Cannot say as much for the FORD.
