Nice.   Fond memories.  My 1st was a 1946 Ford convertible V-8 FH.

Beautiful! Wish you still had it?

Mine was cherry '50 Dodge club coupe I bought for 150 bucks in '75. Inline flathead 6. A big boat of a car, but a rear seat big as a sofa!

My first car was a 49 Hudson Commodore with a straight flathead eight. This was a monster of a car (approx. 23' long). My other flathead was a straight six in my 49 Dodge pickup. Sadly both vehicles were sold.
