Cool old car

Brings back memories of nights in a '49 Ford coopay with my first true sweetie when we were freshmen in high school in Denton, North Texas, America.; 1:49 PM

mountainboy - Yeah, that would be an incredible mini color - it's almost a Vespa color - rather mod, actually

fathairybastard - I LIKE the color, but I can see why some wouldn't - as Myron said, it's a pukey green. I like it, though, kind of a washed-out pistachio; 1:17 AM

That's a nice car, but nowhere near as nice as the '50 red convertible Ford I nearly bought in Shreveport about 20 years ago. Makes me sad I didn't.

Flatheads are truly special.
