This is a photo of the first car, 1941 Chevy Special Deluxe 4 door that me and my two brothers ''borrowed'' from our neighbor and took it for a joy ride. Unfortunately we were a little young to handle this lead sled and knocked down a telephone pole that fell on my Uncle Luther's single wide causing some (a lot) of damage.

"A little young", Hmmmmm. I'll bet that you guys dd at least a week in the play pen for that job.
Well it was a bit worse then I let on...We knocked over a number of trash cans, went through two gardens and knocked down a clothes line loaded with clothes....The we got to the telephone pole...The amazing thing that that lead sled didn't have any damage...Of course Uncle Luther's single wide did not fare well at all.
We were 10, 8 and 6 at the time....By the time that our father caught up with us, we would have been better off if we had been in Uncle Luther's trailer when it was hit...LOLOL grounded for life plus 20...A Rez Boyz adventure.
The Studebaker Avanti, now that was a classic beauty, way ahead of its time:
The driving school I went to in 1952 (Jerry's Driving School) used 1951 Studebakers with dual controls in the front seat. Back then people used to say about Studebakers is that you couldn't tell if they were coming or going.
Here is another classic, the 1958 Austin Haley....I actually owned one while I was stationed in Germany...It was blue not red. One of the few cars I've owned that wasn't red.
We're ON THE ROAD AGAIN.
Since I can't open that, can you tell me what year and model of Lincoln it was?
1941 Lincoln-Zephyr
The same as the one in your first photo?
Just gettin' started, MUVA.
Thank you.

A Studebaker, now that was a car...Faster then fast...Loved the Golden Hawk and the Avanti...

1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk supercharged V8
Would THAT ever turn heads here. I don't think there's a Studebaker in China.
