My first car was a 1950 Ford 2 door sedan. It was a flat head 6 with gear shift on the column...had overdrive that was activated by the pull of a lever. The color was Hawthorne Green Poly. I installed a 1954 Chevy grill, bolted on 56 Olds spinner hubcaps, fender skirts, dropped the rear with lowering blocks, split the exhaust manifold and ran duals with "Hollywood" mufflers, de-chromed the entire car and placed white "porta-walls" on all 4 tires... This was all done in the year 1956...Man, what a car... would give my left--- to have it today..
