It had black tuck and roll. I don't think they came that way from the factory. I was always a little envious of his car. I'd love to have either one today. |

My "first" car in high school was a 1948 Willys Jeep station wagon my father rebuilt in his shop over a winter and then sent out for upholstery and painting. The following winter, we redid a 1953 Aero-Willys sedan. He had this "thing" for Willys vehicles. Hey, it was much better than walking, and any parts you needed could be found at an auto junkyard. |

Mom had a 56 Crown Vic orange and white 292Y block 4bbl.Drove it and eventually have to put the overhead oilers on it. Got rid of it shortly after that. Bought a new 60 chevy convertible w/283 2bbl and slipomatic. Low gear was like granny. I forget the real name for the trans but it was no economy king. I loved it. I had a 57 Chevy Harbor Blue convertible, 283 4bbl P-glide. Two-tone blue interior. This was the factory color interior. Heavy with the X frame to reinforce it because it was a convertible. The car that was fun was a White 59 chevy w/348ci w/58tri-power progressive linkage + four speed. That truck motor would go with enough fuel and air flow. Fuel was cheap then even though it didn't seem so at the time. Friend had a blue 57 Chevy convertible, 283 four barrel, powerglide. It had black tuck and roll.

We did have some strange ones, though. The first car I remember was a '49 Packard sedan. My mom drove it for a couple of years and then told my father she wanted something smaller. So he got her a Henry J. Then a couple of years later, he sold that car because his floor plan banker took back a six-month-old 1954 Caddy that he offered my dad at a "steal." I liked that car! Kept it until 1962, when my mom got a new Dodge. My dad always had his Willys work vehicles that he drove to his stores. Typically they were Jeeps he had rebuilt or was in the process of rebuilding. |

I learned to drive in a 50 Packard. Started it in the morning when cold. Progressed from there after having a key copied. No license, too young. First car I bought was a 53 Studebaker flat-head six w/overdrive. Payed $22.50 for it, the cost the lady had in tax and title on her new to her car. I wasn't old enough to drive so the lady delivered it to the house, parked it in the drive. My mom looked out the kitchen window and didn't know I had bought it. There was hell in the house that day. |

Ah yes. My dad had a rich and colorful life. I was his only disappointment. |
